All of us here in the northwest really, really wanted him to go to the Angels. That would have been such fun! Another lefty bat isn't exactly what you guys need, but now you have him.

He's not sleeping out there like Manny is known to do. He IS trying, he just isn't very good at it. He is an old school pro, he plays hard everyday and he can hit. Philly sports fans have been known to be kind of hard on their players. Don't be too hard on ol' Raul.

While you were on your way to WS glory, we were on our way to an ugly 100 loss season. The endless gifs Raul's adventures in left provided us made the season a little more bearable. Hopefully someone among you will continue this tradition.
