GOOD GRAVY NOT JIMMERS!

In all honesty, this is what we wanted, right? A trade of the old core so that the youth could get it going?  Frankly, it's a bit jarring to see the most elder statesman be  the first on the chopping block, but so goes revolution I suppose.  My shirsey is now woefully out of date, and I had hoped that Phillies red would be evergreen with J. Roll.

Still, however long you're in Dodger Blue my dude, you're a Phillie to me.  May you provide Kershaw with many a no hitter saving dives, and may you be a good double agent for the Phillies when they need to play spoiler.  Godspeed Young James!
