We might as well go ahead and pencil them in for 120 wins...
The Phillies can't do this year after year, can they? Their promised salary the next five years has to be insane. I assume that they are spending while they have their core under contract, and that they can't afford to be another NYY/BOS forever. I hope.
What's wrong with the NATs stepping it up so we can be the NYY/BOS rivalry of the NL East, we've already got the part where we can't stand the Fillies down pat, now we got to work on the intense rivalry based on well matched competitive teams.
By many measures, we should be capable of competing once we fully develop this market. The prinicpal pitch to MLB had to do with the rich counties in NoVa and the TV market. Seriously, in the recent survey (was it Forbes or the census bureau), didn't we have about half of the 10 richest counties in the country - Loudoun, Fairfax, MoCo, Arlington, maybe Charles?
Ha!Trying to buy championships are you? After all, it's worked so well for the Mets, Redskins, etc., freak philly, bring it - you stupid unemployed drunk jerks, I'm not scared of you.
and, where the heck is Goochland (#16)?
Goochland is north and west of Richmond (west of Henrico county) - pretty part of the state
the actual list, if you trust the Examiner and Forbes, is:http://washingtonexaminer.com/local/dc/6-10-richest-counties-us-are-dc-area1) Loudoun2) Fairfax3) Howard ...6) Fairfax City (but that isn't a county?). . .9) Arlington10) Montgomery BurnsAnd, just below:12) Stafford13) Calvert14) Prince William (have i got a land deal for you)and, where the heck is Goochland (#16)?Charles is #21.When you see that list, you wonder, if the Springfield Mall development had blown up a bit earlier and the mixing bowl project finished a bit earlier, would the Springfield Mall site been a good location for a stadium?
I thought it was in New Jersey
Really?Goochland is north west of Richmond... on the way to Charlottesville. I believe per person, it's one of the richest counties in the country.It's mostly just farm land... but the people that do live there, have some money.I also might or might not work for a paper in Goochland.

IS the Ryan Howard contract still stupid? It covers the same ages as Cliff Lee's, or is the difference between genius and stupidity $1M a year?
Is there a point for us to even try? They have 4 #1 starters...
