I just don't see where he'll have a spot on the Cards roster going into next year. I could see if he was driving in runs, but Carpenter has better offensive numbers, and a much better glove at 3B.
I know but still, I love Remy. Sucks to see this happen, poor girl. And he's going through Chemo to boot.
Ironic that it probably was roid rage, given the current state of PEDS in the game. Or maybe they are different I don't know.

That is fucking hilarious not only that A-Rod sold out Braun but that he also sold out one of his fucking teammates.

Even if Kolten outperforms him, why not keep Freese around as a backup? Not sure how much trade value he has but a little extra depth is never a bad thing. Now if someone is willing to part with a good prospect or two for him, sure. Hate to see us dump him for something like a crappy reliever or worse.
I would hope they could get something good and not trade for another Cleto type deal

I think Freese would have a lot of upside on the market. Obviously, his past heroics would add to that.
I've always felt that it said a lot when the Cardinals extended Molina/Waino/Craig, but did not offer Freese any sort of extension. I'm sure if the Cards would have even offered something a little at, or below market value, he'd take it.

Thx! There are a couple of fitting ones in there for me right now.
He does, the problem is the cards FO, they traded Brendan Ryan for Cleto, Tyler Green for well i have no clue, and Skip Schumaker for I also have no clue

Phillies firing Charlie Manuel is enough of a joke. Replacing him with Jack McKeon is even more hilarious.
What the fuck are they doing up there.

And so we'll hunt him...because he can take it...because he's not a hero...he's a silent guardian, a watchful protector

The McKeon thing was a joke? Todd Zolecki of MLB.Com says Ryne Sandberg is going to be the interim manager for the rest of the season.
Poor Charlie.
Amaro should be going with him.
It was probably time for a change, but I can't blame Charlie for failing after the slop Amaro gives him to manage.
He just got his 1000th win this week. He's also like 18th on the All-Time winning percentage for Managers in MLB history.
I'll always remember 2008 and this entire run. Love ya Cholly!

Too bad that the Braves lost on Monday and let him get victory 1000. From the Phillies perspective I still don't know why they didn't disband the team at the trade deadline.

Amaro needed to be the one to go.
This gives me another reason to rewatch Charlie Manuel's greatest moment.

Yup, if there is anyone on the Phillies that should be fired it's RAJ, not Cholly.
ESPN is saying Ryne Sandberg.
Might as well.
RAJ's the one deciding to stand pat with an old, broken roster. I suppose there's no point in wasting Charlie's time.
He was just asked. He didn't take a position. Sounds like a courtesy.
Charlie said he still thinks he can coach and he disagreed with some people that made the decision but understands that's what they believe is the best decision for the Phillies
Ryne Sandberg is taking over.

Phillies fired the wrong guy.

That's because by the time Freese reaches free agency, he'll be well past his prime and non-superstars don't get fat contracts at that age. Not extending him to a long term deal is/was a smart business decision. Waino/Yadi are superstars so they're worth retaining even if the backend of their contracts will probably be ugly. Craig is a year younger than Freese, less injury prone, has a better bat and more positional flexibility.
I'm not sure his past heroics alone would give him too much trade value. Fans of another team aren't going to care about his October 2011 numbers if he gets traded to their team. Is there enough demand in an aging, average 3Bman that's team controlled and relatively cheap for the next 2-3 years to garner a decent prospect in return? This upcoming offseason should be a lot more interesting than the past one, that's for sure.
Tears of joy his ass didn't get shitbinned, I assume.
Charlie said he's going to fill his time off by waking up early, going to the ballpark, and getting out before the media arrives.
He said he loved putting on the Phillies uniform and would have worn it to the PC if he could.
Charlie said he's mad because they took the best seat in the house from him.

Such a dumbshit move. What the fuck is Manuel supposed to do with that team? Amaro should have been the one shitcanned.

Tyler Pastornicky suffered a torn ACL in that collision with Heyward and is out for a while. Braves will purchase the contract of 2B Phil Gosselin from AAA Gwinnett.
Gosselin is expected to share time with Paul Janish at 2B until Dan Uggla returns from his eye surgery.
Gosselin has a .258/.306/.326 slash with 3 home runs and 34 RBIs in 106 games with AA Mississippi and AAA Gwinnett. He was hitting .277/.326/.343 with 2 home runs and 11 RBIs in 47 games since being called up to AAA.

Sucks for Pastornicky. Third stint offers at least over a full month of daily action at 2nd base, probably his best natural position, and he tears his ACL.
According to everyone on the field, Jason loudly called for it first, but you never know if Tyler was just too focused.

I really, really want the Royals to sneak in and win that division.

They replayed it a million times on MLB Network when it happened. You could clearly see Heyward yelling for it. Pastornicky said he never heard him and was calling for it too.
