My daughter pitches softball, and her catcher moved here from Philly so it's kind of funny to hear them disagreeing about baseball during softball practice!
I was perplexed when the Yankees wanted him, but who am I to argue.
How they managed to pick up Burnett and pass on Cliff Lee is the biggest mystery of all time.
It enabled the Phillies to assemble one of the greatest pitching staffs of all time. Not quite as good as the ‘95 braves, who had a 4 man rotation with all four over 120 ERA+ and Maddux, but that’s only because Oswalt had an off-season and got hurt.
