I sure figured the Phillies would let Charlie finish out his contract and ride off into the sunset. Guess that was asking too much from Ruben Amaro.

[bravesnumberone]

I'm guessing they were waiting for him to get No. 1,000.

He's crying during the presser.

You would too if you had to have coached that team in that city...

[bravebonebook]

More important, relevant matters: anyone hear what 'good' second basemen have been made available for waiver wire deals that the Braves might actually be able to snatch?

[Hawk]

I meant Amaro, but replace 'coached' with 'GM'd' and I'd (also) agree.

[Carp]

Ok, two.

He's had one elite season which he won't repeat.

I don't think you understand splits and just how good Headley has been away from that hitters hell. Headley when healthy is a .850+ OPS hitter in a normal park to go along with great defense. Only an idiot wouldn't trade CJ for a healthy Headley

I'll ask you the same thing I asked Giles, who plays third when Headley is elsewhere and bolts via FA?

[Tapate50]

Do we need a Chase Headley Master thread where all this garbage can go?

It worked for Bryce Harper.

[BRule]

Chase Headley, when we sign him.

[gilesfan]

I'll ask you the same thing I asked Giles, who plays third when Headley is elsewhere and bolts via FA?

I would worry about that when the time comes. What happens when CJ sucks or splits?

Should we not have traded for Upton bc we were worried about him splitting?

[Heyward]

If the Reds hold on, they will pass the Cards.

[Heyward]

So much for that, Lucroy walk off Chapman.

[NinersSBChamps]

That was an impressive at bat from Lucroy. Fouled off a handful of high 90's fastballs. I knew he was gonna get Chapman.

[AUTiger7222]

He's crying during the presser.

Because he knows that when the Phillies record doesn't improve any over these last 40 games it will be his ass on the line.

[AUTiger7222]

I had never looked at Headley's career splits but he has been a GREAT hitter away from PETCO. I would take him in a heartbeat!

[AUTiger7222]

If the Reds hold on, they will pass the Cards.

Had the Reds won the Nationals would have been 10 games out of the 2nd WC spot.

Dodgers are ridiculous. MLB has to do something about the financial inequities of the sport. Dodgers are buying their way to a world series trophy while the Braves have a three year run before they lose key players. It sucks.

Calm down. I seriously doubt the Dodgers win the world series this year. How many titles did the Yankees win while spending ridiculous amounts of money the last 10 years? The Mets? The Dodgers? Red Sox? Cubs? Phillies? Tigers? Angels?

I'm fairly certain that only the 04 Sox, 07 Sox, and 09 Yankees could be considered 'bought' titles. And I wouldn't list the 04 Sox that way even though they had a high payroll. Money doesn't equal titles in Baseball.
