  1. Conversely, you could be 2 or 3 games out of the wildcard. Knife cuts both ways.
  2. Come on guys, at least LOOK at the trade offers.
  3. As a player ages, his strikeouts will increase and his walks will decrease as pitchers are more likely to challenge him. Therefore, I believe his Ks and BBs are consistent with decline. Also, as has been stated, players who use only a portion of the field will see a decline in their BABIP as the defense is covering the majority of the holes due to a severe pull-hitters inability to use the entire infield [see Giambi]. I believe what you are seeing from Ortiz is a repeat of Giambi, just a year or two behind. If you look at their stances and hot zones, they are basically carbon copies of each other. Lumbering, left-handed hitters with the ability to hit the ball out of the park if you make a mistake in their wheelhouse, but little else, and a halfway decent eye...and who can attribute a great part of their success due to performance enhancing drugs.
  4. Trade offers sent out. Yeszir, check it out...you'll love it.
  5. I never bought into the defensive matrices. I've seen him a lot at the park, and to me, his range is EXACTLY the same. The math isn't there yet. However, there are idiots who adhere to defensive matrices like they are God-given truths. When you all of a sudden have better pitchers who are strikeout pitchers, his range increases. Whatever. As for Mariano, his velocity has gone down. That's steady. His control has remained. Control pitchers last much longer, so I doubt Mo. Go look at Ortiz in Minnesota and then Boston. He put on at least 25 lbs of muscle. All Mo did was watch his bald spot increase. Posada on the other hand, I'd be surprised if he didn't. Ortiz getting caught with PEDs sure took you off your high horse didn't? I f***ING LOVE IT!
  6. It doesn't matter. As for passing the drug tests...well, so did Arod. If you still want to believe that Ortiz did it on red beans on rice, then I've got a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn. At this point, it doesn't matter who we face. I wouldn't be all that upset if we got swept by Texas either. :harhar:
  7. Ya ya...the guy build a career on PEDs. He had no talent before, and none now.
  8. Papi is a below average offensive player. Like any other player, he'll have hot and cold streaks. However, his days of an average hitter, let alone an elite hitter, are gone.
  9. Must be a small pipe if you can lay it that fast.
  10. Dude..what happened to your date tonight?
  11. You know your team better than I do, but he was not unrealistic in the least for the Yankees.
  12. No...but Abreu is better than Drew, he's better than Papi, and on our side, he's better than Swisher or Matsui. He also makes less than all those players except Swisher.
  13. Why don't you get down on your knees and give him an Around The World blowjob?
  14. Who am I? I'm hitting .310 with a .404 on-base percentage. I only have 11 home runs but I have 80 RBI, 74 runs scored and 26 stolen bases. My teammates and his manager love me. I'm also getting paid a base salary of only $5 million. Bobby Abreu. I strongly pushed for the Yankees signing him and trading Matsui for Washburn [the deal would have been workable, as the Mariners had a dearth of offense, and if the Yankees ate half of Matsui's salary, it would have worked with ease]. Imagine the Yankees with Abreu and possibly Washburn at an extra 4 million instead of Matsui. Even more so, imagine what Abreu would have meant to the Red Sox. Both GMs s*** the bed for a player that not only succeeded in the AL East, but thrived here. Unlike Swisher, Abreu can actually hit a good pitcher. Unlike Drew, Abreu can tie his shoelaces without going on the DL. They both dropped the ball. f*** them both.
  15. Can someone trade him to me then?
  16. Who is MJD?
  17. In the presence of a lady, one must show respect. This is why you're still a virgin.
  18. It is of the utmost pleasure that I make your acquaintance. Although we support different sides in baseball's most famous rivalry, I extend the hand of friendship and kinship so that we can both enjoy each others company and politely debate the finer points of our national pastime.
  19. Funny...everyone bitched about the Bedard deal [the one where I gave up Mauer]....and now that deal looks terrible for me. I also couldn't GIVE Cliff Lee away...and he goes out and throws a complete game 2-hit shutout with 11Ks today. On the season, he's got a 2.86 ERA and leads my team with 21 QS. Funny how s*** works out sometimes.
