Somewhat related, Gammons just said that (I paraphrase) “The Phillies thought they were getting 3 good chips in the Lee trade and so far it hasn’t worked out that way. They have a lot of talent in the minors but it’s at the lower levels and due to the age of their major league club they are not flexible to move many pieces at this deadline.”

“We here at TRDMB who know what it is to lose your best players are sorry for your loss.”
No I’m not. I’m still hoping for a Howard to the DL with a hangnail and Vicky to go on the DL due to a Kaz Matsui type injury, if you know what I’m saying. That would leave just about Werth not on the DL, which would be about as equal to what the 2009 season held for the Mets.
Take that Olney, Stark and the rest of you Philly lovers!
Ah, that felt good to type.

I figured a song with lyrics that state “Let the bodies hit the floor” would show a hint of sarcasm.
I figured wrong in your case I guess.

My super duper Firewall of doom blocks most of this stuff. All is see is a big spot of white. Had I the power to fight firewalls a la Harrison Ford, then I’d be appreciating the sacrasm like a fine wine!

When you get home then you will appreciate it better.
Did you ever look into proxy sites to bypass firewalls? Or remoting back to your home to surf the net with a 3rd party app or site?

I haven’t. Maybe I should… So much for work production then…

Got recommendations? I don’t think proxy would work, but RDP or something in my computer would. How do I go about setting something like that up? go to my PC? Recommendations?

well my favorite app for remoting from anywhere is something called Teamviewer
It is even Mac compatible now and it can be run off a thumbdrive.
It doesnt require installation to use and it is free.
I been using it for years now.

As far as surfing the net bypassing very strict firewalls.
try this one.

but flash sites may not always display well.
I also use tis site to find a proxy that works.

I for one won’t revel in the phillie’s fans (and players) pain…
Don’t want the bad karma or to bring
it onto our Mets…
BUT I will tell ya, it should be interesting now listenting to McCarthy,Wheels & Sarge on their
broadcasts making excuses for the
teams failings. Like Marley said…
“What go around come around”….
And no matter who they lose and/or
for how long…NO EXCUSES!!…
I’ve been a heavy duty sports fan
since the mid-70s AND have a pretty good idea of the history before THAT
and I still can’t come up with any team in any major sport which lost
more time from more important players
than we did last year……
NOW, putting the karma thing aside
for a sec….I wish this injury rash
on the yankees next!!1

Agreed the intent is not to revel but rather just a lil good natured ribbing.

I know, I know!
I’ll tell ya,as much as I dislike and dont trust Omar,I will say
I think hes goin about
this SP shopping thing
the right way.Yes I’d
love him to do something now BUT as
the weeks pass,while
we hang in there,many
other viable shoppers
fall out of it as buyers.
Texas&the dodgers are
hindered by unsettled
ownership situations,
Washington,the cubs
and even the brewers
are looking more like sellers.The Cards,Giants,yanks,red&whitesox dont need SPing AND despite what Gammons says,
the phils don’t have 2 or3 top prospects to get a Lee,Oswalt or
Haren. That leaves US,
Minny, Atlanta…And maybe The Rox as potential shoppers for
the top tier Pitchers on the market.
I’m not mentioning SD
or TB because, well…
they’re SD and TB..And
they never,ever take on salary.
So in the end where do these sellers go to
unload the Pitchers/their salaries???
Mr North Jersey

From all accounts no one disputes that the Mets are in a Buyers market and are in a great position to add a SP.
So what does all that mean?
Mets do nothing and Ollie and Maine pitch us to the W.S.?
Yikes!!!

My point is close
to the deadline we may well be in a postision to get a serious SPer w/o having to give
up a heavy package of A-list prospects.
Mr North Jersey
6/29/2010-5:15pm at 5:15 pm (UTC -4)
I agree. I was just having fun at Minaya’s expense.

So Mejia going on the dl shouldn’t be a big surprise to anyone right?
Mr North Jersey

I mean from all accounts it was going to be a few weeks before he would be able to pitch again at best.

Hopefully it WILL only
be a few weeks!

Its too bad we dont play the phils
anytime soon,since this journeyman
AAAA infielder they just called up
Brian Bocock likely wont be around
long. Hearing ” Dickey delivers to
Bocock” would be pretty funny….

If there was a Putz involved, then pandamonium would follow…

Not sure which would
worse….Or better…
for Bocock…A Dickey
Knuckleball..Or a Putz
high-hard one???…..
…Just sayin’……

Don’t wish harm on any player but….I certainly am not sympathizing with any Philly fan over the latest bad luck their team is having. Sorry, cry me a river, Philly…..

Two 15 day DL stints? You call those injuries? Rookies. Pour some Robitussun on it and get back in there – stolen from a Chris Rock routine.
