Comments on: Myers Goes All 9, Shuts Out Nats http://www.philliesnation.com/archives/2008/08/myers-goes-all-9-shuts-out-nats/ More than a blog Sun, 21 Mar 2010 11:54:55 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8 hourly 1 By: TJ http://www.philliesnation.com/archives/2008/08/myers-goes-all-9-shuts-out-nats/comment-page-1/#comment-30717 TJ Thu, 21 Aug 2008 15:42:24 +0000 http://www.philliesnation.com/archives/2008/08/myers-goes-all-9-shuts-out-nats/#comment-30717 Wow, Jimmy Rollins was right. Half of this site wanted Myers out of here not too long ago now you want him to stay because he has heated up. Is it too hard for you guys too not change how you feel about a player nightly? Support the team and all its players through and through and not act like you've been with them the whole time when they do well. Throw them under the bus when they're slumping and stand by their side when they have a good game. Really? There are only a handful of people that post on here that dont flip flop on here week after week and I consider myself one of them. Geoff, no plan to blow up the team today? Or maybe that's because we won last night. Wow, Jimmy Rollins was right. Half of this site wanted Myers out of here not too long ago now you want him to stay because he has heated up.

IF you eat part of all of the rest of jenkins contract. yeah it could get you a decent young outfielder on a team with lots of depth. IF you eat part of all of the rest of jenkins contract.

If they can add a top-starter in the offseason, and Myers is your #3 next year, Blanton your #4, Moyer #5.. that would be awesome.. Carrasco, Kendrick, Happ there if anyone goes down, or maybe fish Happ around and see what you can get for him in the offseason.. Happ and Jenkins could get you something, right?

AND Urbina was a back-end bullpen guy with lots of experience. I just looked up his numbers, career 3.45 ERA, 237 Saves... thats pretty good, it just didn't work out Polanco, at that time, was a utility infielder.. who didn’t want to play 3b, and made it known that he didn’t want to play 3b,

I think most of the guys on here are pretty consistent in their views, either steadily positive, or steadily negative.. day-to-day.. we all just want to see them win Yea i said that the other day, that Rollins creating a stir has made it a non-issue if Howard, Burrell whoever else struggle a little longer, the spotlight is on Rollins. so hopefully they all snap out of this soon.. and Rollins will look smart for taking so much pressure off of his teammates..
