    Greg,

    Another person I talk with on this site just told me about your free agency via Twitter.

    Anything in particular that caused it?

    You'll be missed at least by me as even though your never ending positive outlook disgusted me, you know your shit and Phillies coverage on this site just got a whole lot stupider without you here as a voice of reason.

    Good luck with whatever you pursue.

    Really enjoy your work and thanks for taking the time to read my article and comment—even if you disagree with it.

    What do you think of the Pence deal?

    This has got to be one of the biggest dolt moves ever in Philly sports history considering what Amaro gave up in three top ten prospects and now he didn't even make it a year.

    It really makes me question the talent evaluation going on with the organization.

    Although on a sidebar, the Victorino deal was pretty good.

    Hey man, I have really enjoyed reading your articles. They are positive reads at a time that a lot of writers are giving the Phillies negative press. If you ask me, it's the kind of thing that happens all too much to Philly teams...kicking us when we're down and all. Looking forward to a rebuilt Phillies team that is set for the forseeable future. Keep it up with the good articles.

    Thanks for that comment on my Nats-Phillies Rotation article, Greg. It was thorough and you brought up several good points.
    I enjoyed the point-counter point you started.

    Do you tweet your article links from your Twitter account? And if not, will you? I absolutely love reading your Phillies stuff and if you could tweet it (I subscribe to you), I could read your articles right from my phone. Just a suggestion. It will also get you more reads.

    Greg, thanks for the great comments on the Hall of Fame piece I compiled. I think I used every single one of your comments! Haha...

    PLEASE have someone copy edit your eccentric Phillies list. I'm embarrassed for you!

    Great comments on my article. Hope you are right and I am wrong.

    I imagine the fact that I can't even write on Todd Washburn's bulletin board to respond to him should be all you need to know, but if it makes you feel any better... No, I don't remember you.
