Offerman Drops Ump

Fomer Phillie "great" Jose Offerman has a problem with his temper. Yes, my standards for the word "great" have dropped a bit.

Offerman had 6 hits and 6 strike outs in 33 at bats for the Phils. He also has a weak right hook.

Hers is his attack, with a bat from a couple of years back.

Myers to Sign with Ed Wade

Another Ex-Phil ends up in Houston. Myers will join a rotation featuring Roy Oswalt and Wandy Rodriguez. The Astros do not figure to contend again in '010. Myers was 73-63 with a 4.40 ERA and 21 saves in eight years with Philadelphia

I thought he wanted to close? I'm not sure Minute Maid Park is the best fit for this fly ball pitcher but it doesn't seem like his phone was ringing off the hook.

Check out Golden Glove's philliesPulse for their new Classic Featured Fightin'. Today it is Glenn Wilson, 1985 All-Star. Wilson played for Philadelphia from 1983 thru '87. I has about 25 of the card to the left. '87 topps were the best.

Juan Sammy

Juan Samuel is the Featured Fightin' on PhilliesPulse. Samuel was one of my all-time favorite Phils and I was one pissed off 8 year old when they traded him to the Mets for Lenny Dykstra and Roger McDowell. Yeah, I guess it worked out but I was still pissed. You can't tell me that you didn't have at least 4 or 5 of that card pictured?

Career w/Phillies: .262 AVG / 100 HR / 413 RBI / 249 SB (philliesnation)

Coste to the Mets?

Chris Coste agreed to terms with the New York Mets today on a contract that guarantees him a spot on the 40-man roster. (forum fargo-moorhead) Coste said that the Mets were the only team to offer that guarantee. Ha! It seems like he is a little embarrassed about signing there.

Coste was always a fan favorite here in philly and all he did was hit while here. Good for him for landing somehwhere in the bigs but I wish he would have landed in a better place.

Wes Helms? Really?

Old Man Moyer pitched a pretty decent game last night, giving up 4 runs on 6 hits through 6 innings, but failed for the fifth straight time to reach that elusive win No. 250. Former Philly flop Wes Helms led the Marlins with 4 RBI's, including a 3-run homer off Moyer in a 5-3 victory last night at Citizens Bank Park. Save for Ryan Howard's two bombs there really wasn't much to cheer about for the WFC's on Monday night. The Phils had opportunities to score but the Marlins pitching wouldn't allow them to get anything going. One opportunity came with runners at first and third with one out in the 4th inning following back-to-back singles from Victorino and Feliz, but strikeouts by Carlos Ruiz and Jamie Moyer ended that threat. Another chance came during the 'Slacks Hoagie Shack WTF Are You Doing Moment' in the 9th inning. With the Phils down 5-3 and Victorino on first base following a lead off walk, Victo inexplicably attempted to steal second base only to be gunned down by Ronnie Paulino. Victo should know better than to attempt a steal in that situation, and to his credit he did admit to reporters after the game that he effed up. Heavy B faces off against Andrew Miller tonight at 7:05 in Game 2 of the series - GO PHILS!
