    What is Jurjens rehabbing?
  2. a700hitter
    If he had won the Heisman and then this news came to light, I wonder if the Heisman Committee would have withdrawn the award?
  3. a700hitter
    Marcum would be an improvement and jurjens is also worth a shot.
  4. a700hitter
    But by the trading deadline our team ERA probably will be at the bottom of the league if he does most of the catching.
  5. a700hitter
    And you're too stupid to realize that is a tongue in cheek joke. What a dolt.
  6. a700hitter
    Maybe we can get him back:lol: Afterall, some had him projecting as a good bottom of the rotation starter.

    Let's get something straight. You maligned not just Brooklyn, my hometown, but all NYers with an accusation of racism leveled against all NYers. I didn't malign your hometown. Yes, it is a point of pride by people from Brooklyn that we love to argue and negotiate. We talk fast, think fast and our arguments are lively and colorful. If that point of pride bothers you, too f***ing bad. If you had a point of pride from your neighborhood, my response wouldn't be to say that your city is full of racists. If you can 't see that as obnoxious and immature, it must be because you are obnoxious and immature. Edit: Fred grew up in Queens and I in Brooklyn, and we had very similar experiences, both loving where we grew up and the experiences that we had. Neither of us ever said that "it means anymore than growing up elsewhere." It's kind of messed up that it bothers you that we have fond memories and pride about our hometowns. Now go grow up.

    First of all, I am not from Bensonhurst. I am a Bay Ridge kid. Brooklyn has many neighborhoods with very distinct ethnic and cultural feels. Bensonhurst was not one of my favorites, and Bay Ridge kids were not particularly welcome there. To tar all of Brooklyn with a few incidents in Bensonhurst is utter ignorance. Brooklyn is sprawling and diverse. With a population of 2.5 million it dwarfs Boston in population and geography. I would venture to say that more great people of achievement came from Brooklyn than any other city, and brooklyn isn't even a city. I like Boston. It is one of my favorite cities. I didn't bring up the dark underbelly of past events in Boston to tar all of Boston with an undeserved reputation. But you chose to do that to Brooklyn in an unsolicited manner based on your experiences in a single neighborhood over the period of one year. That is why you are a jackass. BTW, even though I am not from Bensonhurst, every one in bensonhurst and all of Brooklyn knows that the place for pizza in Bensonhurst was L&B Spumoni Gardens, not J & V.

    The X-rays of the hip must show quite a bit of damage and arthritis for the deal to end up at $5 million from $39 million. The Sox must have said we can't offer you the original deal. Your x-rays show that you have the hip of an 80 year old grandma. Napoli must have responded with I feel fine and he started dancing to Hey Sexy Lady, and they ended up at $5 million. Your guess is as good as mine as to what we see from him this season.
  10. a700hitter
    Catching is tough enough. A bad hip would make things much worse.
  11. a700hitter
    Yep, JH should have let Theo take Cherries and the whole FO to Chicago, and they should have made a fresh start. Cherries is Theo-lite or mini-Theo or Theo Jr. He will probably turn out to be part of the problem. I am hoping that he succeeds, but he is part of the same corporate indoctrination.
  12. a700hitter
    That's right. The starting pitching is the key and it is much too thin. They need to add some quality depth. Also, the still need a lefty 1B/OF. I prefer Garrett Jones. The notion of Nava filling this role is a bad idea IMO.
  13. a700hitter
    It will be interesting to see if Cherries/Farrell will talk about how Napoli will be used, I.e. whether they plan to catch him part time.
  14. a700hitter
    It's a good deal if his hip holds out and he can do some catching. If his hip hinders him and he has to be DL'd, yes they would have limited their financial exposure, but they will not have a major league first baseman or a middle of the order hitter. If his hip holds up, we will be paying the market rate for him.
  15. a700hitter
    They are paying by the foot and he is tall.
  16. a700hitter
    Like I said you couldn't last. I'm a BayRidge boy. The Bensonhurst boys never had anything on us. They could lift a ton, but many couldn't spell it. What street did you "basically" live on in Bensonhurst?
  17. a700hitter
    Let's hope that his hip is solid.
  18. a700hitter
    You wouldn't last 10 minutes in Brooklyn, today or in any era. The stupid kids and nerds made better arguments than you. You are really a dolt.
  19. a700hitter
    I think he was suggesting that I was exhorting you at 70 years of age to kidnap UN get on a plane to Brooklyn and engage in a racially motivated physical attack on another poster.:dunno:
  20. a700hitter
    Touche. Searching for cartoon....
  21. a700hitter
    I guess the next time I'll use cartoons or pictures to explain things to you.
  22. a700hitter
    I honestly did my best to explain it to you 3 times. So, I figured that you just were messing with me. If you don't get what went on between me and MVP, no big deal. It was between he and I. If you like to read UN and MVP, fine. UN is the only poster that I have on ignore. MVP freely admits that the majority of his post are snark. I have no use for either of them except i do enjoy when MVP engages in pointless research of minutiae or irrelevancies in my posts. I have started my countdown to my ST trip. It's less than 50 days away.

    I called him a jackass after the post that I quoted twice for you. That was his initial post in the exchange. What aren't you getting? Re-read the thread in sequence. I don't know what else to say. Again, I did not say that he was being a racist. He injected the issue of racism by making a blanket accusation of racism aim toward New Yorkers. Enough of that. Pretty sure you are just trolling me at this point.
  24. a700hitter
    I didn't say that his post was racist. I said that he injected racism into the discussion which he did as a lame blanket accusation against New Yorkers in the following post:

    Now that Morse is unavailable, napoli's agent will demand 3 years.
