Ugghhh….

 Ryan Madson has always been one of my favorite Phillies.  Granted, that love wasn’t reciprocated a whole lot back when he was a starter.  But man, how could you not love the guy after all he’s done the past few years?   That to say, I got that unsettled stomach thing going on thinking about the happenings in the Philly front office this past week.   First of all, I’ve been increasingly unsettled trying to distinguish the Phillies spend-and-win mentality from that of the ol’ Yankees I’ve always detested.  But okay, a lot of our guys are homegrown.  And it seems fair to pay these homegrown success stories what they’ve rightly earned.  But why in the world do you stiff a top notch, home grown talent, and all around good guy like Madson for…Papelbon?!  And why do it in a way that’s sorta shady?  I don’t like it.  Brgggg!!
