Basically this just means Cole will avoid arbitration so it’s not really anything new. However this could be a step in the right direction for signing him to a long term deal which is what we all want.
Anything and everything having to do with the Philadelphia Phillies, the oldest continuous, one-name, one-city franchise in all of professional sports.
This is to the Philadelphia fan.
To laud your passion as best I can.
Your loyalty is unsurpassed.
Be the Fightins in first or last.
We come to the park each day,
looking forward to another fray.
Because we know you’ll be there,
we know you really care.
You give the opposing pitcher fits
because as one loyalist shouts, everybody hits.
To be sure in Philly, there might be some boos.
Because you passionate fans, like the manager, hate to lose.
Your reaction to the action on the field that you impart,
spurs us as broadcasters to call the game with enthusiasm and heart.
We feel your passion through and through.
Philadelphia fans, I love you.
