    He's good.

    Detroit is going to miss Delmon Young against the Ranger lefties.

    Called it August 5th. Jacko sig'd it for 2 months. He dropped the sig 2 days after the Skanks got eliminated. That's not fair. I had put myself out there with 2 months to go. He would have kept that sig until next September if the Yanks had made the ALCS.

    If they fire the idiot third base coach, we should have a lot less runners thrown out. I haven't heard that Bogar has been fired.

    Based on the embarrassment that Theo caused me after changing my custom user title to "Theo Channels Me," I have changed it to something more appropriate. Theo's problem was that he didn't channel me enough.

    Abraham on the RBI incident with Ortiz:

    Charrington will get the job as interim would be my guess. There were a lot of things that JH did not like about the way the organization was being run. He seems pissed about the conditioning programs and the injuries. Wasn't that also Theo's responsibility. He mentioned not making the playoffs in 3 of the last 6 years. He is not a happy camper.

    I have heard this before, but what is not legitimate about it? Are they doing some funny business with ticket brokers and scalpers?

    A very interesting quote from John Henry: Edit: It looks like he thinks like I do--- that these cycles play out. Nine years as GM is a lot. Unlike JH, I never questioned Theo's sanity.
  11. a700hitter
    Will Delmon Young be able to play? He's very important to the Tigers chances.
  12. a700hitter
    Hey, they haven't even installed my brick yet. A new stadium can wait.
  13. a700hitter
    Yet another reason not to give credence to the story. They are covering their ass for not getting enough pitching help, not for "not trading a real 5 tool prospect." Are you even making an attempt to understand what we are discussing here? They float the usual stories from unnamed sources that the guys they didn't get to help the team were too expensive. That's the CYA. It's the usual MO.
  14. a700hitter
    Yes, life is so unfair for por John Henry and Theo.

    You are missing the point. The writer always asks if they can quote the source or the source tells them up front that the conversation is off the record. Obviously, if they say it is off the record, they will protect the identity or lose the trust of the source. If the source says they can be quoted, they get quoted, because obviously a story with a named source has more credibility. That is not the call of the writer. It is the call made by the source. You have it all bollixed up. It's not the writer's intent that is important. I am asking why the organization source would want to be anonymous? I am still waiting for an answer. Just to clarify, I didn't say it was a lie. It is CYA whether it's true or a lie. That's why it was put out there-- to make the FO look better. Read my prior posts. I said that it might be true or it might not be true. Until it has a name attached to it or it is confirmed by Seattle, I put no stock in it.
  16. a700hitter
    Thank you, and that is precisely why I put no stock in it.
  17. a700hitter
    You can't be serious. How does deliberately leaking the information on an anonymous basis achieve those things in bold? It doesn't. Seriously, you guys are disappointing me.
  18. a700hitter
    You've had it up for more than 2 months. Would it kill you to leave it up until the end of the ALCS?
  19. a700hitter
    Not only doesn't this answer the question, but it doesn't even make sense. What are you saying? They put the names of the players out their on anonymous basis because to quote you "so when those discussions do happen the organization member who is talking doesn't want their name out there." Huh?
  20. a700hitter
    So is E1 saying that he believes that if Theo walks to the Cubs, it will be against the wishes of the Red Sox FO?
  21. a700hitter
    Jacko, you manned up and kept the sig.:thumbsup:
  22. a700hitter
    They quote them unless the conversation is off the record. Why would the etiquette in these situations be off the record.. really? Now, I am asking you.
  23. a700hitter
    The Yankees almost always winning the Division > Competing for the Wild Card every year missing playoffs 3 times since 2003 But the real measure is the last 3 -4 years. Everything else is history. Look at the results and look at the talent in the systems. There is no comparison. Theo falls far short on both counts, and in comparison to Tampa, he falls way short on the system talent aspect and he's probably behind on results. Theo is the 3rd most effective GM in his own division for the last 3-4 seasons. Not a good record.
  24. a700hitter
    The funny part is that you didn't answer the question.
  25. a700hitter
    Sure he makes mistakes, but he has developed players within the organization who are stars like Cano and Robertson, others like Hughes and Nova. Plus, the Yankees win their Division basically every single season. You can't expect much more than that. Theo has also wasted a ton of money while failing to make the playoffs.
