Philadelphia Trades Happ & Prospects for Roy Oswalt

[Insider]

Give the Phillies some credit, they basically got a top tier pitchers for basically nothing. Plus the Houston Astros threw in about 8-11 million to the Phillies to boot. Now they have 3 top tier pitchers in Roy Halladaym Roy Oswalt and Cole Hamels. If only a closer would fall into our lap!

Oswald is pretty darn good if he' not damaged goods.

What is Ed Wade smoking to make a deal like this as GM for Huston? I wonder what are the baseball fans of the Astros thinking. Frankly, I think the league should have an investigation. Because he's done more for Philadelphia by being GM of the Houston Astros than he ever did as GM here. I realize that he's not the pitcher that he use to be, but still.

What a great move. He's won every game he's pitched here but the first one. do we have the best 1, 2, 3 punch in Baseball with Roy Halladay, Roy Oswalt and Cole Hamels? I can't see another team with a better starting pitching three.

We get a great pitchers like Roy Oswalt and it looks like we have everything sewed up, and all of a sudden, this team can't hit anymoree. ARRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!  It's enough to make you want to pull out all your hair.
