Mr Crunchy

you never trade pitching,especially rubber arms who can give you 200 innings,150ks and 15wins per with an era under 4.5 in the american league while being very affordable in the process plus that kid had balls of steele. pena surely helped us and hit fairly well while he was playing ever day but arroyo on the other hand is marching towards a cy young and hes the ace of a sucky cinci staff that scores a s*** load of runs.....

there will be some oppurtunity come july the fins will move willis if the price is right,im just not sure hes the man for us i doubt clemens will come here the cubs have some pitching that they may want to shed as they have no hope and are paying big money for no performance sanfrans jason schmidt(ANYONE KNOW HIS CONTRACT SITUATION?) is a guy that'd look pretty good down the stretch and if theyre not in the hunt he may be had when coco comes back we'll have pena available to deal im pretty sure as well as the young arms to entice some teams into playing lets make a deal with us come july

i collect for caterpillar

david clyde?? thats the 50.00 trivia question of the day good for you man you know the game a bit eh as far as lester being groomed along slowly didnt we throw papel into the fire last year on a sunday afternoon start against the twins? by the end of the season he was our best pitcher. with wake being awful the other nite and the lenny d experience coming unglued and matty boy sucking as bad as he has we now have holes that need to be filled. today they need to be filled,not next month

no seabeach i was refering to the guy who said leskanic pitched well in games 4-7 he never saw the ball after game 4 and the guy who thought it was a great move because it worked.... i guess he has a point why argue with success right??

we won in 04 because curt schilling stapled his ankle tendon,derek lowe remade himself into an october legend,keith foulke was unhittable and the yankees stopped hitting after pedro threw at matsui... we won because bill mueller was able to hit rivera and ortiz made himself into every kids idol by refusing to lose.. we won in 04 because jeff suppan was the stud in st louis a guy who wasnt even capable of making our 03 playoff roster. leskanic pitched 1 1/3 innings of shut out ball in game 4 after getting his tits lit up to the tune of 3 earned runs in 1/3 of an inning the nite before... that was his last game in a sox uniform the entire season francona laid in the lap of a career stiff who got beaten like a dog 24 hours before. you liked that move?? we were fukin blessed and for that you want me to think hes a good manager?? even blind chickens get worms as for joe torre hes favored to win the world series every year,overwhelming favorites year in and out he has the best available players in the market dumped on his door every year every july they get the best player available at the trade deadline their payroll is 100M more than their closest competition has anyone UNDERACHIEVED more than joe torre?

thank you the cubs have had some monumental meltdowns over the last 20 years 1 game and 5 outs away in 03 up 2-0 in 84 then getting swept that franchise may indeed be the worst run franchise in sports

you mean mark prior, not aaron? no i meant aaron until he gets his s*** together hes aaron pryor ""I'll blame Dusty Baker for allowing a twenty-three year old to throw 211 IP in one year, and allowing that same twenty-three year old to throw 138 pitches in a complete game against the Brewers in 2003. Anyone remember the Mark Prior injury? He got hurt, and instead of being coddled, Baker went right back with him. wasnt felipe alou there manager till last year??

clement is no different today than he was when he broke in with sandiego no different than when he pitched for the cubs he will find ways to lose he will never ever be consistant he doesnt have the mental capacity to handle stress never did never will

randy gave up 5 in 5 and al leiter gave him a b+?? 9.00 era for 16,000,000.00 a year?? my god is there no end to the ballwashing

i dont see the front office standing idle this july with schill and beckett in form theyre the best team in the east we all know this whether the yank fans want to admit or not dontrelle willis is struggling this year so far there will be other deals on the table for a decent starter and we have the goods in the minors to get deals done ny has s*** and shinola to deal and shinola left the building theo stood pat last summer and we started the playoffs with clement wells and wakefield we got swept and lost our title i dont see him standing still this july and if we have to deal a couple of unproven youngsters to get us a horse then so be it some people thought in march that we had enough pitching to get it done then we dealt arroyo..... now?? now it seems that weve got 2 studs,1flake in clement,1 inconsistant guy in wake and a 300lb question mark in david wells....with an army of arms in the minors ready to roll. its may 25th and im disappointed but not delusional the only year since 1998 we havent been in 1st place on 6-1 was 2004 trading nomar made this team click down the stretch in 04 prior to that theos mid season deals have essentially been failures suppan sauerback bunny kim and cliff floyd come to mind look for them to step up this year

the cubs perhaps the only franchises run worse than the cubs are in ny and the yanks arent even on the list the knicks and jets come to mind kerry wood and aaron prior set this franchise back 10 years they were supposed to be the A and B fdrever,instead they lost games 6,7 at home against the marlins and then took 2 years off. the day they got nomar cubs fans attacked us on the herald and started busting balls f*** em they get what they deserve and i hope that billy goat f***s em all in the ass forever

francona lost me back in 04 when he had curtis leskanic come into game 3 tied against ny in the 2nd or 3rd inning curtis leskanic?? at that point no team had come back from 0-3 and this guy brought in curtis leskanic?? ever since then i havent trusted him

that happens see that detroit cinci game sunday?? adam harang went 8 detroits pitcher 8 1-0 final cinci scored 15 runs the following nite for arroyo i dont know what to think,every time i feel i get a handle on what to expect i end up paying the bookmakers

true enuff kevin youk beat down any and all comers,he made the mueller dumping much much easier for all of us to take and he has played a very very solid 1st base. although his power#s arent all that his OBP has lived up to and even exceeded our hopes as sox fans. its 240 and im getting thirsty for beer and blood tonite its almost like a football game its also may 24th and i have yet to see fenway parks inside this year which in itself is a goddam travesty.... id rather see beckett and mussina but anytime rj comes to the fens it gets sort of electric and if his previous efforts are any indication the yanks are f***ed tonite the only thing stopping us?? which matt clement shows up

It's likely that Jeter will get his 2000th hit tonight, how will Fenway react to that depends on the time of the hit if he gets the go ahead hit in the 9th?? outside of it being an act of God it wont generate a favorable response from 36,000 people who each paid over 100 a seat to watch the sox lose... if it happens in the 1st?? small applause,maybe a nod....it aint 3000 hits or 500hrs its a nice milestone

Let's look at this thread say, 4 months from now and see who's numbers are better this is certainly fair when do you think damon will go to the d.l with his (1)ailing shoulder (2)bone spurred foot (3)vaginal warts(every yankee gets d.l'd once a year with vaginal warts)

jd is hitting .284 for 13,000,000.00 per year youk is hitting .305 for 350,000.00 per year hows your math??

wade is unreal and hes got young legs detroit is in real trouble i feel out west?? dallas should handle phoenix phoenix looks at defense the way most of us look at fat women,with scorn and contempt l.a. outrebounded them outworked them and shouldve won anyone see shawn marion last week?? dallas may have shot their load in a brutal 7 game series against sanantone dirk needs to play like he cares and i think dallas can prevail with the home court thruout it'll be fun for sure 275 point games arent out of the question

'fternoon james im very bitter about last nite and i think i'll take it out on the 1st bloated pasty ********** i see wearing a yankee hat this evening.... its been a while since my wife got the call from the ballpark

didnt pedro send jetsey and soriano to the emergency ward on consecutive pitches to begin a game??

those guys should have been where they were in the order... If anything maybe put Harris #9 and move Doug to #7. Theyre really wouldnt a better spot for them, you cant just put raunchy stiffs high in the order if youre willing to surrender 33% of your offense out of the chute then youre doomed we can hide a banjo hitting ss in this lineup. we're pushing the envelope every 5th game with mirabelli and a banjo hitting ss but when combined with a .100 hitting centerfielder and all 3 of them come in sequence?? ya cant have the 3 of them hitting in sequence under any condition

heres how the gambling world spins it randy johnson has lost so much respect hes an underdog to matt clement tonight Yankees Johnson (L) (7:05pm) 5-4 5.62 5-5 5-0 3.63 13-7 0-2 14.2 7.36 18.4 Red Sox Clement ® 5½-6½ 4-3 5.36 5-3 1-1 5.54 1-1 2-1 17.2 4.08 11.2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

yeah ted lilly and gussy chacin those 2 pricks are brutal on us they needed to be patient with jarett wright last evening they werent too many meatballs were hit right at people

anyone feel like theyre owed an apology this morning?? willie and doug and alex at 789?? when you play the yanks with 6 hitters you deserve to lose we can hide 1bat,maybe 2 every 5th day but 3 consecutive stiffs in a row is cancer memo to francoma mix the stiffs up
