Congratulations Petey!
-
Looks like we just got a few "new" members.

I'm not saying that Reed and Lopez are on par with the M & M Twins. But, if you are going to credit one team for having players improve, you have to credit the other. Yes, M & M's improvement may make up the upgrade Jojima provides over Olivo, but I don't think it will be so good as to make up for that upgrade plus the improvement of Reed and Lopez. That said, maybe it's all a wash because of the upgrade Luis Castillo will be for the Twins at 2B. All I know is, looking at the power and potential of the two lineups, if I'm a pitcher, I'd much rather face the Twins.
-
And, Lopez and Reed have improved for the Mariners.
-
No, they aren't far superior to the Twins, but I don't recall 700 making that point. He said they were better than the Twins because they had two elite, in his opinion, hitters. The Twins, I think everyone can agree, have no elite hitters, although Mauer is close. I enterpretted that to mean that the Seattle lineup is more daunting to a pitcher, and I agree with that. That said, neither team's performance last year was remarkable. MIN edged SEA in OPS by 0.005 points, and SEA edged MIN in runs scored by 11. So, yeah, in terms of performance there is no clear cut favorite, but like I said, that wasn't the point he made.
-
Well, that is his opinion, so of course he's going to defend it. And, by saying Sexson isn't elite merely because he strikes out a lot, you left the door open for that to be shot down. Besides, it is really a semantical point. Does it really matter if Sexson is elite or just sub-elite when assessing the strengths of the Mariners? Not really IMO, which gets back to one of the things I said earlier. You are only harping on this minute detail of player classification in order to discredit Beckett.
-
I didn't see that as disrespectful. At least not to the level of saying someone has said the "dumbiest" things of all time. You placed Sexson out of the elite because he K's a lot, 700 showed how one of our elites does exactly that, so he shot down your point. Did he gloat a little? You betcha, but he didn't call you an all-time stupid person. I'm not picking out the one thing that fits my argument, I'm saying that thing is the only reason I responded in the first place.

That'll f***ing do Mark, that will f***ing do!!!!!!
-
Some how, some way Mark, just don't make an out.
-
No, I don't care if you can't spell. I do find the fact that you can't yet would still insult someone's intellignece funny, so I commented on it. And, I clearly spell that out, but you can't spell, so it's not surprising that you didn't get it. This started by you saying that 700's post was the "dumbiest of all time", is that respectful? You insulted him and disrespected him for something he wasn't even trying to say, so it's pretty funny that now you are trying to call me out for it. I took the tone you had already established. Yeah, I know it wasn't directed at me, but it was disrespectful nonetheless, and on top of that it wasn't even deserved, so I put my two cents in.
-
Bloomquist is on my lead pipe list.
-
Ah, but I did. There are two issues under consideration here. 1) Richie Sexson's elite status; 2) Intelligence, which you made a subject by insulting 700. When you insult someone's intelligence, it is fair to assume that you believe your's is greater than their's. This is where I disagree and provide a counter point. I don't care if you can't spell to save your life, but it's pretty funny that you would insult someone's intelligence when you can't master something as simple as the English language.
-
You really should refrain from insulting people's intelligence with the way you butcher the English language. Just sayin'.
-
That's OK, Manny's putting one on the Mass Pike. Damn.........a couple feet from 3 dingers for Papi.
-
Foulke pitches the 8th in Irish Spring fashion, clean as a vistle.
-
Farg. Mark hit it sharply both of his last two ABs, both just happened to be right at Bloomquist, the person I hate most in the world right now.
-
Let's go Mark. Get the big man to the dish with some ducks on the pond.
-
I missed the steal because my wife asked me to get her something. She's on bed-rest due to her being 39 weeks pregnant, so I couldn't say no.
-
Hahah. I didn't even notice.
-
Yeah, it was hit hard right at Loretta, so when he slightly bobbled it, he had no chance to get the runner from 3rd.
-
It will really suck if the offense falls asleep again and they lose by this total s*** run.
-
Yep.
-
Farg!

Hey, what do you know, this looks like the Red Sox.
