  1. The Philadelphia Phillies and New York Yankees have a tentative deal to send Phillies right fiedler Bobby Abreu and pitcher Cory Lidle to New York ESPN.com's Buster Olney reported Sunday.

     

    ESPN.com's Jayson Stark reported the Yankees will send 18-year-old minor-league shrotstop C.J. Henry -- their No. 1 pick in 2005 -- and 27-year-old left-handed reliever Matt Smith. The Phillies will also pick one other minor-leauge player from an agreed-upon list, while the Yankees will take on responsibility for Abreu and Lidle's contracts.

     

    Abreu is hitting .277 with 8 home runs and 65 RBI in 99 games. He has a career batting average of .301 with 198 home runs and 841 RBI over 10 seasons.

     

    Lidle, a right-hander, is 8-7 with a 4.74 ERA in 21 starts in 2006. In eight seasons he has a career mark of 78-69 with a 4.54 ERA.

     

    Abreu was in the Phillies' starting lineup Sunday but was pulled for Shane Victorino 10 minutes before their game with the Florida Marlins.

  2. I sure do. I was there. At least we got whipped by a good team that night. You guys had a chance to potentially grab the division lead with your "ace" on the mound and took a beating at the hands of the worst team in the division. Sorry, but that's funny. Nothing wrong with good natured ribbing. I'm sure you'd let us have it if we lost 19-6 to the Nationals.

    Nah, not by me. The mets are not in our division, or league for that matter. Unless it is a Yankees Vs Mets game I could care less about the mets and what they did.
