    Did any DiamondBack fans harrass you? Probably not, and plenty of teams have lost tough World Series in 7 games, but none have experienced the humiliation that the 2004 Yankees experienced. I'll bet a more than a few Red Sox fans bothered you about that loss. If not, let remind you about the great choke. [ATTACH]314[/ATTACH]

    Correction, the Damon thread was originally meaningless, but it has degenerated into something that is pointless as well. I am happy to have contributed.
  3. a700hitter
    Yes, I did. Cheers!

    An undisclosed team or a Mystery Team?

    Good for him. I am sck of hearing how Japanese players are more loyal than American players. Ichiro and Matsui and others did leave their native lands to chase the pot of gold in the US. They are just like the rest of the players from around the world. It's all about the money. Thank you Hideki for putting the loyalty myth to rest.

    You are how old? 16 or 17. So, you were 8 when the Yankees won in 1996. You didn't even know what the Infield Fly Rule meant. So, you have seen 4 WS Champions and 1 RS WS Championship. You didn't see Bucky or Buckner. You have seen Aaron Boone, but that year you lost the WS to an expansion team. You did get to see the Red Sox beat the Yankees in the 2004 ALCS with the biggest comeback of all-time, or in the Yankees case-- the biggest choke of all-time. So, what are you squawking about with this 26 reasons to Hates Us. You've seen 4. I've seen 1. The score is 4 to 1, and our 1 was record-breaking.

    You are still missing the point. Beating the Yankees is sweet, but losing to them is disastrous. You say that 2001 was much worse. Was it because it was the World Series, the freshness of the trauma of 9/11? How many DiamondBack fans made you suffer after that loss? Do you know any Diamondback fans? It's strange that you didn't mention 2003 as being worse than 2004. That was a World Series loss, and you lost in your house. When the Red Sox beat you did you hear about it from any Red Sox fans?
  8. a700hitter
    You are right. You are not getting it. The Red Sox winning is more enjoyable than the Yankees losing, unless the Red Sox are the one's beating them. But if we don't win, it makes matters so much worse if the Yankees do win, because we have to put up with the likes of thousands of Yankee fans like yourself walking around like arrogant asses. BTW when you lost to the Red Sox in 2004, are you gonna tell me it was just like any other loss. It wasn't worse becauseit was at the hands of RSN.

    If the move results in an October where the players are watching the post-season from their couches, then the move would have been a miserable miscalculation. After the Beckett/Mota deal, this team only needed to re-sign Damon and a few minor tweaks to get to the top of the mountain. You don't build a team with a $120+ million payroll to play for the future. In a couple of years Manny and Ortiz will be gone as well a Schilling and Lowell and maybe Nixon. That's a lot to replace and be able to forecast a good 5 to 8 year run. What could you be basing that on? This team was built to win now. If ownership sacrificed that for 2 extra draft choices that may never reach the ML level, then I would say they miscalculated and someone in the FO needs to be held accountable. They need this team to make an October push. Anything less will be viewed as a major failure by the FO.

    Let's hope it wasn't a miscalculation, that costs us a chance at making the Post-Season, and worse yet that pushes the Yankees to the top of the mountain again.
  11. a700hitter
    No way Wilson comes that cheap, especially after the money Reggie Sanders got.
  12. a700hitter
    The only throws to home that got anyone out were relays from Jeter.
  13. a700hitter
    He couldn't even reach 3B.
  14. a700hitter
    Wilson would come with a pricetag that will make the FO wish they kept Damon.
  15. a700hitter
    I used to call him Home Run Derby Weaver.
  16. a700hitter
    Uh, no, it's not decent. It's pretty weak. He needs Jeter to relay throws to the plate when he is in short LF. He has a quick release, but no arm strength. He could never make the throw from RF to 3B.
  17. a700hitter
    Yeah, I'd like to see Matsui make the throw from RF to 3B. He'll need 2 relay throws.
  18. a700hitter
    Weaver? yuk!
  19. a700hitter
    Yeah sure, I'd like to see Damon make the throw from RF to 3B.
  20. a700hitter
    Congratulations.

    http://www.dfw.com/mld/dfw/13489985.htm Millwood to the Rangers
  22. a700hitter
    I don't know if I am leaving anyone out, but assuming Wells gets traded, I have 11 locks for the pitching staff. If Millwood gets signed Arroyo or Clement get moved. 1. Schilling 2. Beckett 3. Wake 4. Arroyo 5. Clement 6. Papelbon 7. Mota 8. Foulke 9. Timlin 10. Seanez 11. DiNardo I doubt that they will take more than 11 pitchers north in April. Who would Lester replace?
  23. a700hitter
    A SS and CF are more important.
  24. a700hitter
    I'd be very surprised if he made the opening day bullpen.

    It's a long list, and not about to go researching names about an issue that ML pitching coaches have acknowledged. I'm not even sure 170+ inning is the magic #. For some guys it may be 150. It depends on their development. Roy Halladay had a significant drop off in performance after throwing 200+ innnings. He had shoulder problems and was basically innefective. Dontrelle Willis experience a tired arm and ineffectiveness in his second year after throwing around 150 innings in his first year. Chris Carpenter's ERA ballooned to over 6 after throwing around 150 innings. The theory about young pitchers and innings is out there in the ML mainstream. You do the research and disprove it. Are there any predictions as to Papelbon's innings this year? I am going with 140.
