frankie, if it was the reading phillies that were moving, i'd bet my salary that you'd be singing a different tune. there is loyalty in them there coal towns. they're only moving down the road to allentown, but it's still kinda sad for the wilkes-barre area. on the other hand, this could forge a better bond between the lehigh valley and philly area -- there doesn't seem to be much of one now, so if the phillies can be used as guinea pigs, they'll at least be put to good use for SOMEthing.

agree with palms: david montgomery, mike arbuckle and cohorts (including ed wade) are the reason the phillies are the phillies. and we the fans are the ones who suffer.


as an aside, i wish the phils could incorporate camden into their system. do we really need a single A team in suburban buffalo? can't we move them into campbell's field so that we have a phillies affiliate using that beautiful ballpark right across the river?
