Mr Crunchy

look out michael young eh?? na but if agon can hit a .245-.260 which is in the realm of reason in our lineup and park and get his 40-50 rbis his glove makes it worth it gentlemen this infield is solid,real solid and gonzales has been outstanding as have youk lowell and loretta...we need to put up with it

mookie doesnt have to buy a drink in nyc because he got lucky that was my very simple point i guess sea- tonites game wasnt going to be easy but it has nothing to do with superstition or karma or mojo but rather the #s of the starting pitchers. that being said our sox lineup has the best 1-2-3-4 in the game and at any given chance theyre very very capable of big innings as evidenced by ortiz's near grand slam theyre always in the hunt come game time for above reasons

the fukin royals are prone to give up crooked #s in the 8th and 9th innings if mussina cant beat kc?? wow he was 400/100 tonite,the biggest favorite ive seen all year in baseball

san fran may be solvent fiscally as they play in a beautiful park and have bonds filling up the stands every nite in his quest for 755 frisco has always been a midlevel market not as big as the dodgers,bigger than the oakland gays schmidt is just 1 guy who i covet as mj said theres a few horses on the market come july this season depending on how the races are going at the time last year the nl west had 4 teams at .495 most of the year so no one is ever out of it till september this is a clement thread but clements ballessness begs us to discuss other options

did arod really say that or was that his team of image consultants that came up with that quote? congrads to derek for his 2000 hit

3run 9th for the braves?? my god do the cubs eat it the long way blowing a gem like zambranos with 2 9th inning errors and a couple walks good f***em

4-2 cubs bottom 7 they suck they really really suck and i love it. i used to feel bad for the cubs fans theyve suffered forever but after the nomar deal a few of them started busting balls here at work as our headquarters are in peoria it was so much fun after nomar got dl'd and we won it all then the cross town team beat them last year just to rub more salt on their wounds..

and thats the end of that story hes a mental case,borderline insane but in a good way with maddox prior and wood who would think that carlo would be their best pitcher

he bb'd 4 after a 40 pitch 1st inning hes 7 outs away which in itself is a mile

is that what the quote button is for?? im not that bright when it comes to these things

the only luck anyone ever has is the luck they make for themselves i had to think about this for a moment are you familiar with mookie wilsons cult status in nyc? if so,can you explain how in gods green earth he made that luck for himself?? how about bob kraft circa 2001? hes 0-2 after losing to the jets and cinci his franchise qb is bleeding to death on the field courtesy of mo lewis and in comes a 6th round draft pick who was passed over 178 times before we grabbed him?? im sure krafty new that he'd be the best quarterback in football but elected to wait till the 6th round to pick him... ive heard this analogy before luck=preparation and oppurtunity but if theres no oppurtunity theres no luck in other words if bledsoe stays healthy tom brady is on the bench....still if buckner fields the ball we go into the 11th tied and mookie is another ny stiff

I dunno. I just remember him talking about having recess. Then he said he was 14. is the FBI monitoring this thread?? perhaps hes the cop from keene nh who catches a few hockey coaches and a dozen perverts every year trying to get 14 year olds in the sack?? its difficult to discern whos who from a computer

tampa bay has the power to make me a favorite if i was pitching against them however they are going against a damn good pitcher tonight so what do you do?? take wells as a small -115-120 favorite or lay it on the kid who is amongst the best lefties in the league? if it were kc i'd play wells till the cows come home but this tampa team has some courage and some free swingers and will be heard from tonite and of course scotty K has the muscle to stick it in our ass good to see another guy who questions clemens on board by the way i hate that texas faggot

theyre 0 for this century in championships they tell us their minor leagues have been ravaged for 5 years now then they come up with wang cano and cabrerra just last year?? their roster resembles the 1998 all star team,they got bigger issues this year than theyve had in the last 10 which in essense makes them more desperate for help than ever payroll is not a concern of theirs in 2006 nor has it been since CBS owned them nor was it 85years ago when they bought babe ruth from us. deep pockets my friend im not a clemens guy either but to think that he wont be an improvement over biggie smalls boogaloo chacon and the other stiffs is naive i fear

over the last 30 years ive seen so many studs show up in yankee unis in july i cant count them from cliff johnson to david cone to jeff weaver to denny neagle they go out and get the best player available at the break how?? who the f*** knows,many of these have come via the waiver wire,many have come for cash and many have been stolen

flash flaherty is available i hear

Pull a pitcher to soon, put in a reliever that fails, he's an *******, leave a pitcher in too long and he gives it up, he' an *******. ...Pitch hit and he fails, he's an *******. Don't pitch hit and he fails, he's an *******. ...Don't start the "correct" line-up, he's an *******. ...The list goes on and on. excellent point so the consensus is hes an ******* right?? kidding here he seems like a nice guy

if francona won 98 games last year he wouldve won the division he won 95 which is decent with the staff we had. grady little got fired for taking this team 5 outs away from the world series. he had a sucky bullpen all season and only the last month were they clicking well. he got crucified for staying with the best pitcher ever to wear a sox uniform instead of?? i dunno,who was it scott williamson timlin or embree?? i wouldve stayed with martinez myself and i bet many who called for littles head wouldve done the same as far as baseball being a just a game?? HA you should consider your audience before making a statement like that. nitpicking is one thing calling the guy out for making bonehead moves in the middle of the pennant series is something quite different

i'd love to think youre right but i dont know... $$$$$ talks in this league theyve got 200M in current payroll and its spent to make sure theyre playing in october as they have for 10straight.... chacon was 1-7 when they got him and he's back in that groove now,aaron small was a 1 hit wonder,hes pitching like hes supposed to now. (i dont remember who they gave up for chacon) cabrerra phillips and cash can get them anyone available in july. clemens will simply be a matter of money.

how old is mike lowell?? how old were cabrerra and meintxxxx?? suppan was over 30 renteria was under 30 but those were in dominican years who knows how old he was schmidt is merely an example and i dont even know if hes on the table hes 3-2 with a 3.07 era and theyre hitting .200 against him hes got 2 complete games,he eats up innings like a madman and hes a big time K guy ive seen him pitch this year,hes lost nothing on his fastball,hes had some control issues but we're living with wakefield and clement as our 3s.... the upgrade for a guy with these #s would be immense and if we dont......and ny gets a guy like this with another arm?? we're f***ed. there are others i prefer power guys from the nl,the soft servers get their tits lit up when they make the move over the big boy league i certainly see your point of view but ive seen prospects come and go for many years i'll take proven pitchers over prospects all day long,we're in a pennant race my friend. we aint in kc,we're not competing with oakland and cincinatti either we go head to head with that friggin juggernaut in ny and as much as its prudent and even common sense to groom the young guys we just dont have that luxury if we want to compete every year for every jonathan papplebon i can give you 3 juan penas a couple of john curtices and raise you a jeff spinelli we're in boston we got schill and beckett,the best D in baseball and a lites out pen manny and papi and coco and youk.....we'll have plenty of 0 to get there in my opine bring me a #1 starter and let me put him at #3 suddenly we now are the favorites to win it all and if we lose him in october while the trophy sits on yawkee way i can live with it. 33 isnt that old by the way

theos modus operandi?? the leadoff hitter in florida is hanley ramirez who we got beckett and lowell for hanley was untouchable last summer,if we made the deal then we wouldve had a pop to win it all....theo didnt we got swept by chicago and lost the division to ny. the 3 hitter in pitt is freddy sanchez who we dumped for.... jeff suppan,who will never be confused for jason schmidt or carlo zambrano freddy sanchez was deemed the next nomar we use alex gonzales as our shortstop because theo dumped the future shortstops for pitching we get schmidt as our#3 we win the world series if the other 2studs stay healthy it may only take a pena and 1 of these ""Phenoms"" who havent won a game outside bumblef*** maine yet to get schmidt or a carlo zambrano type a power pitcher who can get it done in october prospects are nice but dont make believe that theo doesnt use them like anything else to make this team better for october,after last falls miserable playoff effort dont be surprised at anyone getting traded come 7-31,manny included.... as far as duquette goes just think of the core of the 04 team manny damon tek lowe petey (meintxx and cabrerra for nomar who he drafted) he stacked a decent deck for theo,who filled in the blanks with schill and foulke he also got youkillis who is quite frankly our best position player right now. the duke was an arrogant ******* but he wasnt nearly as bad as people make him seem to be he didnt resign mo vaughn and if he did resign clemens to a 40M deal in 97 after clem went 39-40 over 5 years he may have been fired and then we dont get pedro martinez

you have this knowledge based on....what??

thats the deal .700 prospects are nice on paper but a guy like schmidt who still throws a violent 95,could make the difference in the american league,especially if you use him with a schill and beckett,then you have 3 hosses who all have pitched under pressure with success and with baseballs best defense behind them?? look out

the cubs need a 1st basemen they had chow mein and cut him what in Gods name gives anyone the idea that choi can hit when banjo hitting suck clubs like la and chicago gave him up for nothing??
