    Thank goodness. I know they were trying to trade him to a team for a bag of peanuts and 2 buckets of baseballs, but I guess they had no takers.

    "Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it." What did they not learn from the 1st time he was here?

    They gave him a World Series ring. Actually, he did have something to do with winning it. If he pitched well enough to make the team and was on the playoof roster, he could have blown it during the playoffs. So, him sucking consistently help win the WS.

About Matt Gelb and Bob Brookover












Bob Brookover and Matt Gelb team up for their third straight season covering the Phillies for the Inquirer and philly.com.

This is Brookover’s second stint writing about the Phillies, having joined the coverage team after seven years as an Eagles beat writer. Brookover was hired by The Inquirer in 2000 as the Phillies beat writer after spending 13 years writing about the team for two suburban newspapers. While on the Eagles beat, Brookover, who had covered just two winning Phillies teams in 15 seasons, saw the Phillies move into a cash-cow new ballpark and begin playing a brand of the game he found unrecognizable. Follow him on Twitter here.

Gelb is in his third season covering the Phillies. He was hired by The Inquirer in August 2009 after graduating from Syracuse University. He has also covered baseball at The Star-Ledger and Cape Cod Times. Born and raised in Bucks County, he attended Central Bucks High School West. Follow him on Twitter here.
