  1. Regarding the bold portion of your post, I fully realize this. If Crawford bombs, it will be interesting to see if Theo gets criticized. I know that I will be mocked, but the FO ballwashers will find a way to exonerate Theo. That should be hysterical. Of course , if the move works out, everyone will say that they always knew it would be a great move. You are big into pointing out hypocrisy, so I am sure you will spot it.
  2. I'm chomping at the bit. I would have thought we'd have been through at least 3 rounds already.
  3. After we get through the first round, do we go in reverse order for the second round?
  4. Lots of rationalizing and sour grapes going on here. There's also a hypothetical situation complete with a prediction of my reaction. Of course you can read my mind. Why not, you thought you could read Theo's mind too. How weak. You also went back to the archives for more of my greatest hits of 2005. Around the same time (2005-2006) didn't you predict that Wily Mo Pena would team up in a platoon with some other guy for 35 HRS and 121 RBI?:dunno: Edit: At least i have been right recently. BTW: To give the Dontrelle Willis issue some context, the Yankees were rumored to be interested in getting him at that time. One of our more erudite posters thought at that time that Hughes and Tabata would not be enough to get Willis:
  5. Still being petty. I did use stats to back up my argument. BTW, I did subtract out caught stealings in my adjustment to OPS. Petty, Petty, petty. Tsk, tsk and tsk, and with regard to Crawford, you were very very wrong. Ruff ruff ruff from the Alpha Dog. I'm wagging my tail. I like this game. Let's play some more.
  6. Not looking to fight, not with you or E1. I realize what an ego blow it was for several posters on this forum when the FO made the big move that I had been touting (all by myself) and for which I was taking all sorts of abuse from every corner. The HotStove thread the night we signed him was really a bit stunned, except for me. I was turning cartwheels in the thread, but everyone else was trying to come to grips with it instead of just being happy that my Theo got us the prize offensive player of the 2010-11 FA class. Only BSN07 gave me props that night. He offered to change his custom user name to something of my choice--a very sportsmanlike gesture. I wasn't looking for kudos, because I have always been secure in my own opinion of myself-- to the point of annoyance. However, for those of you who hurled the insults to somehow try to re-write the outcome, well that is very petty, but extremely funny nonetheless.
  7. I like it when they hate me.
  8. But just to be clear, she's not as hot as VA.
  9. Do we have a grid of picks somewhere?
  10. Angela Lansbury is kinda hot.
  11. Your arguments would be much more effective trolling posts if they were at all accurate. I predicted better stats for Beltre going into 2010 than you did, so take that. And talk about delusional, now you have yourself convinced that Crawford was a backup plan. Finally, I never claimed that Theo goes to me for advice, although I suspect he lurks here. It is my claim that "Theo Channels Me."
  12. Dude, I shoveled out two cars and insulted Dipre twice and I still made a pretty timely pick. Not bad for an old dog. I think I might need some Mineral Ice tonight.
  13. I fully admit that I do make some mistakes in a 5 year period. I have publicly acknowledged that Pedroia was much better than I had hoped he would be. I was hoping for a Mark Loretta type (as were the scouts), but he far surpassed that. No one, except a liar, would have predicted ROY and MVP in his first few years.
  14. Go ahead. Use a very timely 2005 post in your signature if you can find it. I don't think I ever made that suggestion. I did want to get Miggy Cabrera and I would have been willing to sacrifice two prospects for him. A lot has happened since then. Dontrelle has developed a fear of the pitching mound. Lester got cancer and recovered. Like I said, go to town with a 2005 post if you can find one. The hours you will spend looking for one will have this Alpha Dog giggling like crazy. Ruff Ruff. As for my sig, I'll stay with the very current quote from you, or maybe I'll use this current quote for my signature instead or this... Theo must really be an idiot to sign Crawford after you laid out the case against signing him so clearly and logically.
  15. Okay Alpha Dog. You do know that I wanted Matt Holliday more than anyone last year. As for Beltre, the banjo hitter remark was a reactionary game thread remark when the team was going bad. I was one of the few posters that like his acquisition, and before the season started I posted that you might be underestimating his power output with your projections. "Banjo Hitter" was also the perfect trolling remark for you. You still can't get it out of your head. And you say that you troll me. You can't get me out of your head. Meet the bigger badder older Alpha Dog. Ruff Ruff. Follow my lead and you will be the Alpha Dog some day.
