I wouldn't mind seeing that play again. Re: Web Gems

Anyone up for the Stan Javier catch in RF (2001?) where he leaped over the wall, the ball came squirting out of the glove and he caught it while falling to the warning track? I wouldn’t mind seeing that play again.

So if we can stay close or pick up some ground, our destiny could be in our own hands. (and at this point, I'm wondering whether I'll recognize any players on the roster by then). 130: yeah, 5 games back, but we play Salt Lake (the division leader) for 4 games next week.

There are people who've never stopped criticising Moyer, after all, for refusing the trade to Houston last year: as though he were obliged to do whatever was best for the team <i>including being traded away from the team</i>. I'm afraid that public anger about this trade will just confirm whatever part of the front office feels that what's most important is fielding a fan-friendly product.

Stay with Philly OR become a free agent. Philly can bag out of it also. What the agreement does is lock both sides in on $$ if Moyer wants to stay with Philly and Philly wants him back.

So He'll be a Philly at least to the end of next year. 141- From what I understand, Moyer had to sign an extension as part of the deal of the trade.
