Ed. Note: FP'd for fantasy-based right-brained phantasmagoria.
As per WL's request last week, I've fanposted my TGP line-up from the after-draft party thread. It took sometime to re-format; the mark-up language for fanposts is XHTML 1.0 Strict and some of the tags I used in the initial thread needed changing. Also, I included liner notes as the more formal publishing context warrants some attempt at standardized acknowledgement. So thanks for letting me spread my wings of world destruction; with gold stars for Top Men, Phrozen and Trev223, whose blind eye to PEDs and beer in the clubhouse loosened the Seal of R'lyeh.

a music hyperlinked poem
after and for wl
big name latin swing pounds of fleshpence to shag
prospect plunder for the piss ant percent increase to
win - now - wired in the blood the slick rush of the deal
when bus bored scrap stares from scratch-n-dent sales
his card a kid sticks in spokes has gun will travel,
admirably duels briefly, a sweet phillie paladin

Line-up From Hell Just Got More Hellish
Apparently the Yankees will add Berkman, Phillies killer extrodinair, to the ranks of their already pitcher shitting pants line-up. The rental bat will DH. Will there be a fall showdown between the line-up from Hell vs. the rotation from Hell? Oh yeah, I forgot, we can hit the piss out of the ball too.
Overheard in the parking lot of some chruch after a Sexaholics Anonymous meeting let out...
Yep, the man who said Strasburg for Oswalt and who'd screw a wall outlet if he could, the infamous Steve Phillips with his words of wisdom about closing the deal at the trade deadline. Actually some interesting stuff about the "rush" of closing....oh, spoken like a true addict Steve. Get a sponsor.
One less pitcher for RAJ to possibly sign, but another team in the hunt for pitching. Apparently, Oakland A's pitcher, Ben Sheets broked his elbow again. The often injured right hander whose bad mechanics and early career overuse are frequently blamed for his DL woes, may be hanging out on the Island of Misfit Toys: Broked Pitchers Division with Kelvim Escobar, another talented pitcher let down by baseball. Sheets injury history includes: 3 surgeries - one for an elbow (missed last season), another for a broken ankle, and one for herniated disc. Also he has torn a tendon in his right middle finger, torn his latissimus dorsi muscle in his right shoulder (season ending) and has had a few bouts of tendonitsis in right shoulder. Over the last 3 seasons he's averaged 21 starts.
So, I Had This Dream Last Night ...

EDITOR'S NOTE: Promoted. Nothing to add. - WC
.... that during a Phillies/Mets game, Mr. Met, convinced he had evidence of Phillies sign stealing, staged a sit-in protest on home plate until his request to plead his case to the umpire crew was granted. After the umpires, laughing hysterically, dismissed Mr. Met's claim that the Phanatic conveyed stolen signs with his "'whammy" dance and hip gyrations, the angered mascot began chasing the umpires at which point, he was justifiably tased into submission by the Phanatic.
So, as it seems customary at TGP to deal with the trials and tribulations we endure as Philadelphia sports fans with creativity and humor, I, in light of the recent events, tried to render a scene from this dream with Photoshop, but as I am a bit Adobe dumb, my attempt to frankenstein all the mascot body parts I cut from various jpegs to a news photo I choose for a base, failed. However, refusing to let the 3 hrs. spent go to waste, I decided to use the same photo and instead, just drew it. I think it's done, although it could use a caption.

According to MLB Fanhouse, Kelvim Escobar is done for the year and perhaps will never toe the rubber again for a MLB team. Another quality arm in the MLB dust bin but he should have known better not to sign with the Mets. Lucky he did even throw a pitch - it being the Mets - his arm probably would have fallen off. Well that's 1.25 million down the drain for the mega market Mets. That said, I never like to see an athlete's career end with an injury even if they are a Met. Best of luck to him.
"5. Setup Man and Placekicker (Madson)"
From April Is the Cruelest Month,
RememberthePhitans
So it's from a time when we had to pedal our Big Wheels, but I thought this 70's classic could entertain Madson Placekicker during his DL stint. Besides two weeks haunted by the damage that crappy cutter caused - without distraction - is probably prohibited by the Geneva Convention.
