Yeah but the affair was with someone at ESPN. That's got sexual harrassment written all over it, and this girl definitely isn't playing with a full deck. I'll put money on seeing Phillips on MLB Network next year along side Harold Reynolds.

I think the issue might be proof. I seem to recall Harold's incident was settled quietly without admission of guilt so Harold's career wasn't ruined and MLBN took him. Phillips probably has enough evidence to be found guilty and MLBN probably wouldn't want him.
Maybe, maybe not. But I think Phillips' days at ESPN are numbered. He's not a big enough star, like David Letterman, for a network to defend this type of behavior. ESPN has more baseball analysts than it knows what to do with. They'll drop him like a 3rd catcher.
absolutely. Too many analysts to need Phillips. If it were Gammons, it'd be a different story.
I think I need to go take a shower - I just read all the PDFs in the NY Post report and I feel dirty now.
I was 9, and my parents wouldn't let me stay up to watch the end of the game!
I was awake at 12:34am and heard the commotion downstairs when Pudge hit the homer.
In contrast, I awoke my then 11 year old daughter (who is at best a peripheral fan) out of a sound sleep before Keith Foulke fielded the ground ball on that glorious night in St. Louis five years ago!
I yearn for the days when you had iron men pitching. Men who could pitch a complete game , before the days of pitch counts and specialists. Maybe managers should take note that there are some players that can work more than 100 pitches. I know it will never happen but I would like to see a relief pitcher be required to face a minimum of three batters before being removed. Make the pitcher deliver the ball to the plate within a prescribed time. Call a ball after three throws to first. Lest we blame the pitcher for all the delays force the batter to stay in the box and be ready to hit. No more raising your hand like a schoolboy asking permission to go to the restroom. Call a strike the second time he steps out when the pitcher is getting set. Like I said, it will never happen, just ramblings from an old man who wants to see action even in baseball.I'm not surprised. I seem to recall Sabathia pitching on 3 days rest at least once if not more when he was the Brewers pitcher-for-rent in 2008 to help get the Brewers into the playoffs.
The only thing that shocks me about Sabathia is that he isn't in the lineup when he's not pitching because of his bat.

Great story.
I can only hope to do the same to my future son/daughter someday here in Cleveland.
No need for apologies from you and Bill. I just got off topic as well. The posts were entertaining.

You will buddy, you will!
I can't think of a LOYAL fan who deserves that more!!!
It could happen. I just think Padilla will have to pitch great, because Hamels will pitch a gem.
Hamels did not pitch a gem in game 1, anything but. Fortunately for him, Kershaw did just as bad.
