Mr Crunchy

station to station baseball is ok when your team hits .300 or even .285 drop this softball teams avg down under .275?? they will leave 1500 runners on base next summer as it stands they need coco to be big this year and i mean .300 with a .390obp they need lugo to hit .280 with doubles up the ass they need tek to bat my weight,not tina cervasios lowells glove will be there but he needs to push a consistant .270 with more than 20hrs same with youk he tailed a bit last season(didnt they all after manny went out) hes a .300/.400 obp guy that should be hitting for more power as he ages im not expecting anything big out of duddy pedroia if he hits .260 from the 9 and dont f*** up in the field i'll live with it now mr drew since hes here for the long haul i will no longer bust his balls until he f***s us heres what i see .300 with a .375 obp,diminishing power due to fenway being death valley for lefty power guys such as drew,more speed than nixon and he does have a rep for being a clutch hitter 100RBI isnt out of the question in fact it is nessesary for drew to produce or we'll get cornholed like last year. manny best get his track shoes on,papi too theyre will be lots of oppurtunity to go 1st -3rd with drew in the lineup he will have crisp lugo manny and papi in front of him he'll be up in the 1st inning of lots of games he'll be put in a situation to earn what we're paying him God forbid he come outta the chute 1-27,theres so much negativity pointed his way i fear he could become catatonic after his 1st year ala roger moret theres 7 papi and manny need no explanation wily mo being the 1st option off the bench?? another 250ab season will not reveal what this guy can be with manny still in the fold i love our chances in the east this summer

at these prices lloyds of london will be involved in insuring the arms legs and health of all these guys with 9 figure contracts

i'll call you with juan pierre and raise you a carlo lee

agreed as you know obrien had them on the fence of greatness 3 years in a row and 3years in a row he failed to get it done as huge favorites in 04 he was a 13pt favorite at home against syracuse and got beat by 40 a win wouldve put us in the fiesta bowl but instead a back up safety scored 4xs and ran for 275 yards in 05 he lost to a suck nc team that cost us a newyears day game this year he goes 9-3 finally beating va tech and fsu but his losses?? to a suck 3-9 nc state game on a hail mary of all things to a miami team that hadnt scored in the 2nd half since september and to the wake team as a 4 point favorite with wakes 3rd string tailback and freshman qb sticking it up his ass he had integrity he recruited very well he couldnt win the big game and his teams often looked uninspired i thank him at the same time as i hold the door open for him mixed emotions i guess

as riverside says boras has opened a new market in japan now if he has to send this guy back to seibu for another year he would be disgraced over there see in japan there is such a thing as shame

as far as setting the market goes we're in charge of that now we have no right to bitch moan or behoove the skanks for spending as we're the culprits today as far as driving to baltimore goes i go to ny i buy sox yanks tix in a row and take 8-10 of us the money i save on tix we spend at the hotel and it is a lot of money when you consider sox yanks in fenway are generally 100-200 tix minimum and if you buy them for ny theyre 25.00 last year was the 1st in 10 i didnt take my kids to fenway this year it wont happen either lest im given tix i get into maybe 10-12 games with friends every year but the days of every weekend are way gone plus i always find myself resisting the urge to choke the s*** out of some panty waste on a cell phone screaming CAN YOU SEE ME NOW TREVOR....LOOK IM OVER BY THE MAN WITH THE MASK ON....TREVOR....CAN YOU HEAR ME?? my god when did the sweater vest and beirkenstock sandal wearers get into baseball? 1 reason i like the bronx is that these people generally end up getting beaten or robbed after the night games when they venture out to jerome ave and 159th

5 shortstops in 4 years?? and we traded the nl rookie of the year who was a.......shortstop who will be a 30/30 maybe a 30/60 guy we pay edgar rent 19M for 1 year of league leading 34 error service?? what do i want?? some f***ing sanity is all

well if he dont sign here he can go back to seibu looking like a greedy prick that wont play well in japan and it may doom boras in the international marketplace if he cant cut a deal with the guys who just threw 14M at jd drew i dont think boras will worry about his next meal but he is 1 greedy prick

the rotation when including petitte makes the 1998 all star staff nearly complete their only missing piece is petey rj is failing fast petitte really didnt do well in houston of all places mussina is steady but declining wang is their best pitcher i'd say the other guy?? i dont know we have our own issues here

and again i ask who else was bidding for this guy?? there all a lot of stupid owners in bball start with hicks in texas and go all the way to reinsdorf(who seems to be have smartened up since albert bell) and angelos in baltimore,mccourt in la who cant pay his machine rentals on time yet drops 50M on juan pierre and the nittwits in dc who let soriano walk but this?? i dont wont and refuse to understand we refused to inherit salary in july because of these so called fiscal restraints we were in 1st place and the yankees were to be had we stood pat and ended up behind toronto now?? we're spending like we own the us mint on guys who quite frankly arent all that lugo is good drew is decent neither will be allstars yet theyre making 23M between them?? i guess when the bleacher seats are 100 a yo we can again say IN THEO WE TRUST unless ortiz figures out that drew is making more than he is then we may indeed have a problem

Come on Jacks, Clemens is a much better pitcher than Pettitte, regular and post-season. I'd rather see the Yankees sign Clemens for 1 year at 15 million over Pettitte. I still haven't forgiven him for Game 6, 2001 W.S. regular season sure id take clemens,who by all accounts is the best april thru august pitcher ever. post season?? are you s***ing me?? you call yourself a yankee fan and come up with a statement like this?? do you watch these games roger clemens is the biggest fraud ive ever seen with my own eyes come october outside of arod. if i have a 6 run lead up 3games theres no one else i'd want out there but clemens however when matched up with equel talent raj tends to either (1)pull his trick hammy (2)blister up (3)tweak his trick groin if ive seen it once ive seen it 10times from the 05 world series game 1 against chicago to the 2001 playoffs against oakland to the 90 playoffs when he got tossed out of game 4 to game 6 in shea when he blistered up to game 7nlcs in 04 when the odds makers made him,a 7 time cy young winner, a huge underdog against jeff suppan because they knew he'd choke the chicken.. roger clemens is the biggest underachiever in october history not named arod just think of the head to heads with petey or dave stewart if you need a reminder of how f***ing pathetic this man has been in the post season.

does anyone know what the other teams were offering drew?? seems to me we were the only game in town for his services somewhere in the world of los angeles and ny baseball there are people wetting their pants in laughter

Reports out of every boston news service indicate BC coach tom obrien is leaving boston for nc state,no news as to if bc will have obrien coaching them in their 12/30 bowl game as a season tix holder i have mixed emotions obrien ran a good program,recruited very very well and brought back some dignity to the school after the dan henning era of misery however he could never seal the deal and win the big games that were in front of him. he lost 3 road games in conference this year as a big favorite including the season ender against miami,who by all accounts packed it in back in october.

jimmys place on 2nd ave and 48th? i think larry used to drink there after the garden fights which i used to attend a couple times a year jimmy died a couple years back but i hear ole larry still goes in to get cheap scotch **** that he is

art garfunkel?? 6 words the horror the horror the horror

i see youve followed larrys career jimma after the hamsho fight im 10 rows behind haglers interview and im watching it on tv ""MARVIN(he refused to call him marvelous) YOU DONT REALLY THINK THAT YOU CAN BEAT THOMAS HEARNS WITH AN EFFORT LIKE THIS(2nd round ko) and to haglers credit LARRY,YOUVE BEEN DOUBTING ME FOREVER,WHEN WILL YOU LEARN 2 fights later,april 15th 1985 if memory serves sean patrick well tommy hearns is on his back,eyes rolling into his head in the 3rd round and hagler is screaming LARRY.... COME ON OVER HERE LARRY,I HEARD YOU HAD 5K ON HEARNS...LLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAARY WHEN YOU GONNA LEARN BITCH...WHEN YOU GONNA LISTEN MUTHAf***A and larry couldnt do the interview instead lampley had to get it all as larry was hiding like the **** of a dog he really is

the bottom 3rd was lousy last year agon hit what?? .250 but most of it came in a 10 week stretch when he was pushing 300 for a while tek was brutal douggie was below mendoza pedroia was too cora seemed to play better when he was used situationally lowell was great with the glove,mediocre with the stick our spark was missing,the catalyst if you will he was in ny doing his thing and i didnt think i'd miss him this much a year later but i do coco will need to shine this year

has anyone seen jackie macmullen and dan shaughnessy in the same room??

ive lived here my whole life outside of some winters in miami banging nails we tend to eat our own as fans IF we perceive the athlete underachieved or didnt put forth his best effort or lied to the fans or tuned up his girlfriend or whatever dennis oil can boyd broke down when he didnt make the allstar team the fans ate him up over it but it was the media that did the hatchet job on him THE CAN WAS SEEN IN A PLAYGROUND IN CHELSEA IN A DRUG INFESTED NEIGHBORHOOD truth? the truth was he was playing hoop with some black and spanish kids in a drug infested neighborhood....which if youve been or lived in chelsea you'd know that there arent any non drug infested neighborhoods certainly not circa 1986. the boston media is just brutal from shank to buckley(remember his picture in the herald with the goatee??) to callahan to tony""i have no testicles"" mazz these fuking guys need to be punished physically i was listening to larry merchant commenting on a fight last weekend on HBO couple of mexican kids going 12 rounds of nonstop action...beautiful fight anyways old larry was sternly correcting roy jones jr on the art of counterpunching?? larry merchant 5'6 225lbs of lard telling 1 of the best middleweights ever how it was?? unreal i was thrown out of the late jimmy youngs place(rather physically) in nyc 20 years ago for threatening larry merchant after the hagler/mustapha hamsho fight in madison square garden if i ever see him again the old prick is getting dusted for the good of all of us. my only question is why this no nothing no talent ass clown isnt writing for the globe or herald

point taken sir very eloquently stated for the record i'd like to lock manny in a room with tony mazz,buckley,shaughnessy and callahan give manny the bat

i like crisp i think out of the leadoff spot he can go 15-75-.290 30sb with some range hey we need a bit of speed out there as of now we have a slow pitch softball team from soup to nuts

jackson has a point but jackson,the men today work so much harder to stay in shape than they did even 15 years ago as his contract goes down i feel his value actually goes up was it in 02+03 the sox waived him there were no takers....none now? there are several teams looking for him and i assume 30 that could use him

im not concerned about randy johnson and andy petitte i was in 1998 but not now today as it was yesterday and will be tommorow is about pitching and pitching depth and do we have enuff..... i dont feel we can count on much of a return for lowell or youk in a deal broxton appears to be a horse out of the pen,the real deal 97K's 33bbs in 77ip? exactly what we could use for a closer if we move manny our O would be decimated even if we bring in drew and another decent stick aboard,nobody can protect ortiz like manny i expect a good season out of crisp i think youk could be a good #2 hitter with his patience and obp#s pena at 3 papi at 4 a righty at 5 and drew will be a decent look at 6 7tek 8ss 92b and we may be able to survive if we have the consistant pitching we had in 04

ive seen chris carpenter try to pitch in the american league it wasnt pretty in fact he was given his outright release he was a member of what i used to refer to as the 4 horseman of the apocolypse joey hamilton dave burba rick helling karen""we've only just begun"" carpenter any time you'd see the above names as starters we'd bet the over line made a fortune betting on these guys and their abilities to lite up a scoreboard.. of course carpenter has bounced back and made a good career for himself over in st louis i do believe he was hurt for a spell maybe in 03?? anyways i wouldnt want him in fenway if suppan couldnt make our rotation im not convinced this guy could either.

is that your argument for trading manny? calling me a moron?? you should be antiquing over by the pink elephant in essex rather than discussing the merits of keeping or trading ramirez. moron?? moi?? evidently this dialogue is too much for you to handle. go get yourself a wine spritzer and a pedicure lest your thong end up in a tight knot where your scrotum should be.
