Andre Igoudala Did Not Ask For Trade

According to Philly.com's Kate Fagan Andre Igoudala did not ask for a trade as reported by ESPN. According to Fagan Andre did not ask to be traded if the Sixers where not winning by mid season. According to a Fagan's source, the "news" came from a statement Iguodala made -- saying he'd like to play for a winning team and that was twisted and did not mean he wanted to be traded. There was reports that the Bulls and Sixers where talking a Luol Deng-Andre Igoudala trade.

Phillies Hot Stove

This is gonna be one interesting off season for the Phillies. Already we know that most likely J.C Romero and Greg Dobbs will not be back and there is a chance that Jamie Moyer will not either. The biggest Phillies free agent is going to be RF Jayson Werth and he wants big money and I put the chances of him coming back at 40% the biggest reasons are money and Scott Boras. The other Phillies free agents are relief pitchers Chad Durbin and Jose Contreras,and Mike Sweeney. The Phillies will go into the off season looking for a starter could be a front line or a 4th or a 5th starter. If they lose Jayson Werth the could look for a platoon outfielder who can hit lefties to play with Dominic Brown. Possible other needs a reliever and maybe one or two bench players.

-Shaun

Phillies Decline Option on J.C. Romero

The Phillies have declined the 2011 option of lefty reliever JC Romero making him a free agent. JC who the Phillies signed in 2007 after he was released from the Red Sox was a big part of the 2008 World Championship. In 2009 he was suspended for 50 game and was injured and never got in a groove. In 2010 it was much the same only pitching in 60 games and throwing only 36 and 2/3's innings. He was owed 4.5 million dollars in 2011.

Phillies Advance To Third Straight NLCS Behind Hamels Complete Game Shutout

The Phillies win game 3 of the NLDS behind Cole Hamels complete game shutout. The Phillies got their first run of the game on a Orlando Cabrera throwing error of the bat of Carlos Ruiz scoring Placido Polanco. They got their second run of the game on Chase Utley's tenth career home run moving him above Jayson Werth on the club's all time list. That's all Cole Hamels would need as he pitched his first postseason complete game shutout giving up five hits and striking out nine. The Phillies let up only eleven hits to the best offense in the regular season in this series the fewest ever. Cole Hamels is the third pitcher to 20 years to earn a shutout victory in a postseason road series clincher. The Phillies will have to wait until at least tomorrow night to find out who they will face in Game One of the NLCS on Saturday, they will face either the San Fransisco Giants or the Atlanta Braves the Giants lead the series 2-1. When they do play on Saturday Roy Halladay will have ten days off he had eight days off in between clinching the division against the Nationals and the no hitter in Game one of the NLDS.
