http://forum.newsday.com/forums/thread/10854/ Please, put this team out of its misery. A team that is two games under .500 has no business being less than 10 games from first place. The longer we remain in the race, the more likely it is that Omar makes a stupid trade to get us "over the top" - like the Kazmir for Zambrano and Isringhausen for Billygoat Taylor trades in 2004 when we were "only" six games out. Please Philly, put it together quickly and just BURY us before the July 31 trade deadline before we do something stupid like trading for Matt Holiday. We are pretenders. Not contenders. 2009-07-01 07:26:43 http://forum.newsday.com/forums/post/68680/ 68680 Please, put this team out of its misery.
