This Phillies Area Is Over

[Anthony]

You have to be Stevie Wonder not to see it. They have no shot to catch the Nats, and the Braves made Amaro look like a fool wth their offeason compared to the Phils. Howard is flawed, Halladay is cooked, Utley is on his last legs with Rollins and the rest of the lineup is washed up or AAA trash. They have no plate discipline and Manuel never showed me he is strong at making weaker players better.

Also, history is not on their side. 2008 Won it all, 2009 lost in WS, 2010 lost in NLCS, 2011, lost in NLDS, 2012 no playoffs and .500.

2013- below .500?

Anthony said the same thing last yr and he was correct. .. Just saying.

[stjoebirdsfan]

And he said the same thing in 2008.

[wynnron123]

And he said the same thing in 2008.

But this team isn't the 2008 version. This team is old and washed up.

The End of an Area

I think the problems started when they got rid of Werth, Victorino, and Ibanez.

[TRENT]

Well just look at it this way...

they peeked by winning the WS not by losing it....well done Phills!:D

[nerd]

werth stinks.

[Loki]

He says it every year.

And last year he was finally correct.

Outside of Brown they replaced CF and RF with AAAA guys

Thank god they won at least 1 WS, but it still leaves a sting that this team should've won a couple. The Phillies era remind me of the 83 Sixers,

So after two games you determined Ben Revere is a AAAA guy?

No arguments about JMJ. He stinks.

[GroundedBird]

If the window is closed, they (the Phillies) are already starting to bring up some youth. It may take time to develop but they have replacements on their way.
