Seems like a high offer from Howard, there's no way the Phillies will agree to that. Right in the middle, 16 million, seems pretty good

i agree! i think it's fare 16 million should make him happy.

However, I'm sad for the Phillies because this almost certainly places Howard out...

Phillies were triumphant last night with Kentucky Joe Blanton on the mound and Ryan Howard's mammoth bat. The got their magic number down to 1, which could be done today when Jamie Moyer takes the mound against the Nationals. All this is made possible by the Mets choking like the pieces of crap they are.

*Jayson Werth leads the offense: Werth had been struggling for the last few weeks, but he busted out tonight with a 3 hit, 4 RBI night. All 3 of his hits were singles with runners in scoring position. Werth should continue to have a big role...
