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?

The Phillies have an A club in Lakewood, New Jersey
