Face it, my arrogance is what makes these type threads.

I agree with Jetset, on both accounts.

Philadelphia Phillies' contracts that come off the book at the end of the season:

Raul Ibanez: 3 yrs. $31.5 mil (09-11)
Brad Lidge: 3 yrs. $37.5 mil (09-11)
Roy Oswalt: 5 yrs. $73 mil (07-12) (Has made it known he's retiring at the end of the season)
Cole Hamels: 3 yrs. $20.5 mil (09-11)
Jimmy Rollins: 5 yrs. $ 40 mil (06-10) (club option for 2011 activated)
Ryan Madson: 3 yrs. $12 mil (09-11)
Danys Baez: 2 yrs. $ 5.25 mil (10-11)
Kyle Kendrick: 1 yr. $2.75 mil (11)
Brian Schneider: 2 yrs. $2.75 mil (10-11)
Ross Gload: 2 yrs. $2.6 mil (10-11)
Ben Francisco: 1 yr. $1.17 mil (11)

And 23 other deals are coming off the books.

Can't wait to see Jose Reyes in a Phillies uniform.

Hamels is due for a big pay raise though. He's the only one of those guys I see remaining a Philly. Maybe Madson too.

I'm sure Hamels could be convinced to take a slight paycut. He see what Cliff Lee did plus if we're forced to shell out we can, Oswalt isn't coming back. Madson will probably be resigned, same with Lidge, although I think Lidge is done. Hopefully Francisco is retained as well.

We'll still have enough to sign Reyes.

speaking of baseball, i finally get to see jered weaver pitch in person tonight. been to about 10 games this season, and haven't gotten weaver til now.

Who are the Angles playing? I remember when Weaver went up against Kershaw.

Outpitched. Outmatched. Still one of my favorites though. His strikeout ratio is insane.

Seattle, 1st of a 4 game series.

weaver outclassed kershaw pretty well last matchup and got a ND the 1st time after going 7 IP and giving up just 1 ER.

I was playing a show in Simi Valley and Weaver walked in during the time of his rookie holdout. I told him he should just take the damn money and f'ing play. He took it pretty well, but i guess he was right to hold out after all.

speaking of money... really late gig that pays crap money, very little bar tab, and needs alot of equipment... this is what happens when I don't book the farging gigs. uggg I hope those guys appreciate me more after this one- probably the only consolation
