It's hard to do things when the villagers have used their pitchforks to cut off the phone and internet, and are standing outside the front gate chanting.

The fans should be horrified at the lack of deals.

Their system has nothing as well..They could finish last for the next 7-8 years. Terrible.

The phillies beat writers have been saying for weeks that it was unlikely that they would make any moves at the deadline stating that off season trades are more likely. Basically anybody desirable is a 10/5, is owed too much money, doesn't want to leave Philly, or some combination of the 3. It sucks for sure.

What about the players other than Utley?

Cole Hamels is owed quite a bit and is a 10/5. Papelbon is owed a shit ton of money and is a head case. Jimmy Rollins said he would only consider leaving Philly if there was a fire sale. Byrd could have been traded but I guess nobody made a good enough offer for Amaro. Ryan Howard is owed a good amount and hasn't been very good since his Achilles injury and his numbers against lefties are an abomination.

Terrible.

Sure, you guys had a hell of a run, but it's been over for two years.

Not a bright future.

Sorry, I was joking that Utley was the only desirable guy on the team (especially since he fits everything you said)
