Mr Crunchy

sidney ponson looking like aaron small these days

i dont know why bobby keilty isnt here but moss won the game so...ya whatever. a great comeback and despite lesters lackluster #s he kept us in the game long enuff for us to pork the twins late. manny seems to have found himself after a tuff few weeks he could be on the verge of going on a tear

webb had been struggling after a smoking start i dont know about brandon lyon either,he blew a couple games last week,1 in miami was truly pathetic. i just dont have any confidence in any of these nl teams to wager on a pennant winner. as of today the cubs are a solid favorite followed by arizona and the brewers. 3350 ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS +300 3351 ATLANTA BRAVES +1000 3352 CHICAGO CUBS +120 3353 CINCINNATI REDS +3000 3354 COLORADO ROCKIES +2000 3355 FLORIDA MARLINS +1500 3356 HOUSTON ASTROS +3000 3357 LOS ANGELES DODGERS +600 3358 MILWAUKEE BREWERS +350 3359 NEW YORK METS +500 3360 PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES +300 3361 PITTSBURGH PIRATES +4000 3362 SAN DIEGO PADRES +4000 3363 SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS +3000 3364 ST LOUIS CARDINALS +800 3365 WASHINGTON NATIONALS +5000 too bad sandiego hits like a ladies softball team or they'd be a small risk at 4000 sure theyre 20 games under 500 but if their pitching shores up theyre capable of getting back in this thing as theyre only 8-10 games out of the hunt. that aint happening theyre selling off come 7-31 in the al the sox are the chalkers followed closely by tampa who is getting a ton of respect,the angels and then....the yanks at 4-1 3396 BALTIMORE ORIOLES +3000 3397 BOSTON RED SOX +120 3398 CHICAGO WHITE SOX +400 3399 CLEVELAND Guardians +1000 3400 DETROIT TIGERS +600 3401 KANSAS CITY ROYALS +4000 3402 LOS ANGELES ANGELS +300 3403 MINNESOTA TWINS +1000 3404 NEW YORK YANKEES +400 3405 OAKLAND ATHLETICS +1500 3406 SEATTLE MARINERS +5000 3407 TAMPA BAY DEVIL RAYS +200 oakland is another team that isnt good enuff but has an attractive price at 15-1 too bad they sold out already.

i agree when you hit a grandslam in an elimination game it cures a lot of bad vibes. who gives a f*** what tony larussa says? the man is the most overated manager in history and managed 2 of the biggest gag jobs ever in oakland circa 88-90

i say milwaukee has the better 1-2 but ben sheets is always a threat for the dl... but so is haren i guess.. zambrano is borderline insane and has a problem going deep into games due to him trying to K every batter he faces..i like sheets better and i like sabby better than haren but who knows what will happen when these guys see the new league. the cubs answered big time with this move i see the wildcard coming from the central unless the Mets start playing like theyre capable.

2 words for those who dont think tek belongs cal f***ing ripken....jr i am willing to agree that teks #s dont warrant a trip to the bronx ive been to the bronx,it too is overrated.

His past is respected, and overrated. He's not worth $10 million no matter how you slice it, and the fact that you staunchly defend him while at the same time bashed JD Drew last season is hypocritical. wait a minute here. jd drews #s from last year read 11-64-.270 jason veriteks #s from last year 17-68-.255 why are you going here other than to prove my point? i had every right to rip the sox for signing jd drew last year to a 70M contract,4M per more than the captain of the team who incidently had better power #s as sad as that is... drew had 5 tremendous weeks this year,lets see him finish the year off without missing 30-40 games and i will be thrilled. have you ever seen jd drew dive for a ball? me neither for the record i heard tim mccarver compare jd drew to stan musial on saturday afternoon. you're in good company.

i feel like throwing a f***ing party after this post

lugo's struggles are compounded by others who are struggling his defensive issues are confusing but his offense isnt shocking his obp is .350? and he runs the bases very well,he has no pop,none i expected more. has ellsbury had an xtra base hit in the last 40 games? manny was hitting .180 over his last 25? i think crisp isnt tearing the cover off the ball teks troubles have been well documented drew has cooled off since carrying us for 5 weeks as the guy above said,we can upgrade in a ton of areas but as a team we're fine and built for the long run...i see the yankees are persuing victor zambrano,that should cure all their problems eh?? Yankees scouting Zambrano Posted: Tuesday July 08, 2008 06:31AM ET Scott Kazmir is pitching at Yankee Stadium Tuesday night. Can Victor Zambrano be far behind? In their never-ending quest to find starting pitching, the Yankees plan to send a scout to watch the free-agent righty throw sometime this week, according to a source. Zambrano is infamous for being the pitcher the Mets got when they shipped highly touted prospect Kazmir to Tampa at the trading deadline in 2004. Zambrano, who went 10-14 over three seasons with the Mets, pitched for Toronto and Baltimore last season, but hasn't pitched in the majors this year. After being designated for assignment by Colorado at the end of spring training, Zambrano went 0-6 with a 9.45 ERA for the Rockies' Triple-A club oh f*** not this guy....bwahahahaha

tek single handedly turned the stories of these 2 franchises in opposite directions when he bitch slapped that f***ing scumbag arod back in 2004. his work in boston is appreciated and he is still loved and respected here whether kilo or jackson or anyone feels frustrated by his .218 batting avg. we can hide this guy in the lineup if everyone else plays to their potential well at this hour we have a few guys sucking and underperforming and this illuminated teks struggles at the plate. the mere idea that you question teks ability to handle a pitching staff better than any other catcher in the game tells me 1 of 2 things (1) you know nothing about this game (2)you are such a homer that you cant appreciate a goddam thing from your opponents. 4 no hitters he called in his career,no other catcher has done this in the 140 year history of the game. here are the names nomo lowe buckholz lester now if you want to s*** on tek because he cant .270 anymore thats fine and its legitimate but to diminish his value to the pitching staff is flat out stupid and it insults our intelligence and your standing on this esteemed panel. the yanks needed last night much more than we did they earned it we got issues and the season has 75 games or so left the yanks had a shot to get into the fray but cc just went to milwaukee so i think theyre f***ed and on the outside looking in come october...

good to see him heading out to the national league wouldnt want to see him try and make ammends for that horrible effort against us last october the brewers should be in a solid position to at least make a run at the wild card. with sheets and cc they have a good 1-2,suppan has sucked horribly as of late but should be somewhat serviceable down the stretch in a league where ted lilly and jason marquis are considered decent. how bad is capuano banged up? is solomon torres going to be able to handle this pressure come october? are guillermo mota and derek turnbow and david riske and eric gagne going to get it together? bush has thrown very well his last few outings,suppan has gone the other way and may finally be dust. how a mlb pitcher can have 4 suck starts in a row in that league is beyond me. a good move for milwaukee whether they sign him or not because they have a pop this year and can show their fan base that ya,we're going to give it a real run this year and with their 1-2's i say they have as good a pop as anyone...i mean really the cubs??...the cubs??? i dont think so,not with zambrano being a 6ip 100 pitch guy and not with brittle kerry wood and not with ted lilly and marquis either....

i'd like to leave gene nelson in the bullpen with some of the sox security staff that ive had to deal with over the years.... another big man putting his hands on the little guy....this jerkoff sucked anyways. i wonder how courageous he wouldve been had the guy been his size. are we on the subject of character here? if not,i'll bring it up anyways arod's classy wife drops a baby and as she's recovering arod is in bed with madonna... if madonna had as many pricks coming out of her as went into her she'd resemble a porcupine. this my friends is as big a scumbag move as i've ever seen without murder being involved. why does alex rodgriguez seem to find the lowest form of slash to sleep with? madonna is 60,has stretch marks on her lips after blowing the nba allstar teams over the last 25 years and his wife is giving him a baby,the most precious gift a woman could possibly give a man. this is just vile behavior and i hope to christ he pays for it.

tito best get control of his clubhouse manny f***in up youkillis acting like a giabrone,these guys flatter than day old opened ginger ale i dont know what gives here but this is going to be a long,frustrating summer if they dont get their motors running. i never liked francona in the begining of his sox career but his last 2 seasons he's done a good job. this year they had a difficult start which can be blamed on MLB and this ridiculous travel they were put thru but the last 2 weeks,even against AAA ball players,they havent had the spark. tampa attacked them and we been backpeddaling time for tito to get more personally involved i say.... and it should start with all world dice K going more than 4.2 innings with 115 pitches and 6 bbs.

i hate ray leonard like i hate cancer. i was in vegas for my dads birthday for the leonard fight,we are related to pat and goody petronelli so every time marvin fought locally we got tix and got to go to the after fight parties, the leonard fight was strange and dare i say bought and paid for. bigger gloves,1st 12 rounder rather the traditional 15 rounder and a ring the size of logan airport marvin sold all these advantages out for an extra 5M. my grandfather says to goody before the fight ""how long before ray falls??"" goody says ""tony i dont know about this one"" 1 judge had it 118-112?despite marvin throwing and landing more punches. the others 115-113 each way every time marvin left it up to the judges he got f***ed with the exception of the duran fight he put 115 stitches in vito antuofermo's face and got a draw out of it,vito is selling pencils in naples,legally blind and in a wheel chair today meanwhile on the same card ray fought wilfred benitez and was probably losing till the ref stopped it with 8 seconds left and the champion(benitez) still on his feet. BAG JOB marvin never left his trainers despite more money and more fame to be had he got f***ed for it...badly marvin was one of the few who walked away with more to give,he has his money ,his health and the knowledge of knowing he was the best middleweight ever (ray robinson was a welterweight at his best) boxing needs another warrior like marvin and another fight like marvin/hearns would put this wounded sport back on top of the market where it belongs.... god i miss him

id throw my kids into traffic to save manny and i defend him usually 100% unconditionally which isnt easy for a guy like me who adores the game more than the guys who play it manny and petey were the only 2 i bent over for and i did so because theyre the closest thing i seen to pure greatness as i'll probabky ever see,marvin hagler is on this list with ali and thats it 4 athletes over 35 active years of viewing at 42 yrs okd 4 manny burnt us here kids and its not the ""my gramma died"" or todays my day off s*** i never ompedafter hgh school outside barroom softball but know about team and family and the long days and s*** that plays out over a season of sports you dont put your hands on the equipment people or non members of the 25 the 25? well teamates fight and im not sure thats a bad thing in july someon was going to talk to youk about his duggout demeaner and it was manny who usually dont say s*** with a mouth full...thats part of the team and between brothers and lond forgotten this my friends is rag time and its so f***ing wrong i am fed up this evening i supect the x boston dtc said some things he regrets but manny is just so wrong to put his hands on this guy this isnt over i suspect

another evening of goin thru the motions for the beasts of the east tampa is going fo the throat for 9 innings and we weren prepared for a big series this week they should be embarassed but at this point no one is playing better than tampa as for the yanks? kevin millwood and the guy from last nite shouldnt handcuff these guys they too are playing as if it dont matter time to wake up because there aint any cherry picking in the american league this year and big streaks just aint happeni this summer

don zimmer storms out of the dugout to attack the opposing teams pitcher IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PENNANT SERIES and you blame the pitcher for defending himself?? the last i knew bench coaches were supposed to have their asses on the bench and werent supposed to assault the opponents... is this the f***ing mindset that yankee fans actually possess? is it just a couple of you ignorant f***s who feel this way or is it just typical another group stupid, i love the yankees mindset? f*** don zimmer i hope he gets struck by lightning in that bulbous head of his and never sleeps more than an hour at a time for the rest of his pathetic life.

you can add the cincinatti reds payroll to the sox for them to catch the yanks payroll the mets are just underachieving and without heart,they need petey to carry them thru the summer and the man dont have it in him any longer... the dogers and the angels combined for 2 runs this weekend?? please dont include california in any future baseball discussions unless we're discussing who sucks or who is getting traded.

i knew there was a southern connection to his misery ellie mae,he has no legs,what the f*** man??

what kind of people eat hot dogs at 5.00 a pop? lips, *******s,fillers,anything that come out of a pig ends up in hotdogs. s*** that would make bologna puke.. that said nathans are decent but the local pearls and kayems are the best in boston anyways.

teks shortcomings get exposed much more when the other guys are failing along with him. someone suggested that he needs some rest im inclined to agree,sit him for the week before the break and hopefully he can recover and get his average back to sucky as opposed to putrid.

he has never been able to control his mouth this guy has done more good for blacks with his vast charities and his home in new mexico than jesse and al have combined yet his mouth is all people know him for. perhaps he should shut it down,do some spot work for radio occasionally and start thinking about the rest of his life off the stage. some people get addicted to the spot light and this man seems to be one of them who needs the aggravation at this stage

its mindboggling how successful our pitching has developed and the blessing is that none have been injured with the obvious exception of jon lester getting cancer. the a's have had similar luck with their pitching development seems everyone they bring up stays healthy and produces till they sell

i find the entire new speak of political correctness f***ing nauseating. grow up,get a pair of stones and give up the victim card as a source of income
