Post in response to Bub’s post. Basically a post trifecta.

In the words of Charlie Brown, “good grief.”

…can’t sleep…somebody tell me a story. Hello? Anybody?

There once was a man named Enos…

What’s this shizcrackle about Lee and the Phillies? If that happens, I’ll pull my lips over my head and staple them there.
December 13th, 2010 at 11:29 pm
Oh my goodness…please tell me you don’t think that will happen.
December 13th, 2010 at 11:35 pm
I don’t think the Phillies thing will happen because, if they are indeed the “mystery” team, they are not offering as many years as the Rangers or Yankees.

Lee to the Phillies. Well, **** baseball.

I hate baseball.

Steve, are you ever right?
Hello, wild card. What a cataclysmic event for the Braves. Not sure I like our chances when they throw Hamels, Halladay and Lee at us and we counter with Hanson, Beachy and Minor. Just brutal.
December 14th, 2010 at 9:47 am
Yeah, I called that one exactly, eh?
Good Lord, this is an absolute disaster. No other way to spin it. And I was so excited about the season a mere 12 hours ago.

Suddenly the Uggla acquisition doesn’t look quite as big.
The Halladay/Lee combo is very reminiscent of the Randy Johnson/Schilling combo that worked out so well for the D’backs.
December 14th, 2010 at 10:55 am
The Halladay/Lee/Oswalt/Hamels combo is very reminiscent of getting hit in the face with a 2 x 4. Or watching McLouth face a pitcher of any talent.

“On paper” that’s a better rotation than the Braves of the 90s. It’s absurd.
December 14th, 2010 at 1:15 pm
We just don’t like Georgia. It’s nothing personal.
December 14th, 2010 at 3:57 pm
I’m with Kate.

The Rev has informed me, I’m not allowed to get this bummed about baseball in December.
December 14th, 2010 at 7:44 pm
Sad thing is, it’s a classy move and I’d love him going to another team when the Yanks offered him lots more $. It’s really too bad.

1. The Braves can and should win the Wild Card.
2. The Braves clobbered Lee in his 2009 campaign with the Phillies (1.027 OPS, 7 runs in 9 innings across two games)
3. How do you win only one championship with Smoltz, Glavine, and Maddux? The same way you don’t necessarily win a 7 game series with Lee, Halladay, Oswalt, and Hamels: because that’s baseball.
The only thing sealed, or really even made greatly more likely, is that Philly will win the division. And that is almost certain. Barring injury, you can take that to Vegas right now and, whatever the pitiful return for betting your farm, bet it. The Phils will be very great, and this is their regular season dynasty we’re in the middle of right now. We are going to feel what all those teams felt under the Braves for all those years.
The crappiest part: the two biggest examples in the last 5 years of a player taking less than he could have gotten elsewhere, are the Phillies’ Lee and Halladay. Go figure that, a bandbox ballpark where the fans boo their own players: that’s the situation drawing superstar pitchers away from their money.
It’s enough to make your head hurt.
December 14th, 2010 at 9:58 pm
One more thing – if Brown doesn’t make the roster, the Phils won’t have any starters under 30. Their window is closing. They are also trying to move Fat Joe and Ibanez to clear up money. Their payroll is $170 mill with Lee.

AAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
I hate this. I hate it with the hating hatefulness of hatey-hate hatred. The city that booed Santa Claus gets the best Christmas.
