    Why are you happy he got injured? I'm happy with the Celtic's recent good fortunes, but cheering another person's misfortune? :dunno:

    See Red how do you see the Bronco defense shaping up? Champ is champ, and Dre made a great play knocking the pass away in the end zone. Elvis Dumervil had his moments like the INT, and Ian Gold looked really bad doing anything out there today. I think they could be one of the top defenses if DJ Williams plays like he did today and they continue to improve. I don't follow them closely, I'm just a Pats fan that doesn't want any part of them in the postseason. Champ looks like he is picking up right where he left off last year.

    So now we are comparing Joba to Randy Johnson...he is great, and has a lot of potential, but very few aces ever pan out to become those aces. I thought people were getting ahead of themselves saying he was already better than Paps... Rdsxmbnt, I think Paps is the best closer in baseball too, I just didn't want to sound like a homer.
  4. iSeenHippos
    I will give you Putz is the best closer in baseball, but Paps is definitely in the discussion if not right there with him. Since the Gomes homer on 7/28, Paps has been striking out everybody in sight. The only hit off him in the 13.7 innings since then is a single by Orlando Cabrera.

    2x ...Buchholz can replace Julian Tavarez...moron.

    You really sell hard on Papelbon's injuries. Paps is the best closer in baseball right now. Today. It's a lot more than just being around more. Joba can potentially be better than Paps, but saying that he already is based on his potential is a bit much, IMO.

    I am a Pats fan and love Brady, but Manning is the better quarterback.

    Ian Kennedy doesn't have the potential the other young pitchers do, but I could definitely see him having a long career, because he arrived in the majors as a pretty competent pitcher. How often do potential aces ever turn into aces? Paps IMO is the best closer in baseball right now. I worry about the temptation of getting Buchholz to start in the postseason, but that's the only negative I see surrounding him. I don't think Lester will be anything more than a back of the rotation pitcher, and Masterson looks good but ended the year poorly.

    One World Series is a lot though...

    You are an idiot when it comes to baseball, it's no surprise the same holds true with your musical taste.
  12. iSeenHippos
    LMAO, took a little bit more than Anderson and Buchholz to get the Rangers to trade Tex.

    Theo's a genius!

    He didn't look really impressive at the futures game, but most of the pitchers get told they are going to the game, are given a chance to pitch in relief once before going, and then pitch their inning. I don't think he threw a curve. He did look pretty impatient and excited pitching his inning yesterday, along with the control. I chalked it up to the event and it just being an inning, but you're right.

    Papi or Manny could have won this easily. They had their choice of Schilling, Timlin, Hansack, and Craig Hansen's fastballs to use for batting practice.
  16. iSeenHippos
    Why not San Francisco? They're going to need someone to sell tickets next year with no HR record to chase, all-star game, or Zito signing. I could see them as an outside choice to get aRod if they decide to part ways with Bonds.

    Joba is the man. Every time I see this guy, he impresses me more each time.
  18. iSeenHippos
    Yes, an extension. Extending the current contract is not a new contract. If you don't understand, it's okay. I did go to an excellent school. I'm also going to another excellent school next year. Read into it whatever you want. I only brought it up because you mentioned Princeton Review prep courses. I'm guessing you'll need it more than me, but couldn't care less.
  19. iSeenHippos
    Thanks, but I already graduated from an excellent university. Thanks for the tip on the Princeton Review though, lol. "Now, I don't know if Texas got some language into the agreement about extending the current contract constitutes a new contract, but short of that knowledge, their money would still be in play." Do you have to speak like a Texan when discussing Texas? CrespoBlows wrote one sentence: "No, if he signs a new contract, Texas is freed from their salary obligation." CrespoBlows is correct. A-Rod can void his contract, and sign a new one, which frees Texas from their salary obligation. Extending his current contract will not free Texas from their salary obligations. Did you go to school, or do you just like to say big words and act smart on the internet? A new contract, and an extension of his current contract are two different things.

    Whatever. I'll hold out until these guys prove it in AA. Hughes did it, and Chamberlain is doing it now.
  21. iSeenHippos
    Joba Chamberlain has had one bad start in AA (5 ER in 5.7 IP), but otherwise: 27.7 IP 20 H 2.60 ERA 48 K 11 BB 15.6 K/9

    Bailey's starting tonight. Papi and Youks rest the weekend, and WMP isn't out on the field.
  24. iSeenHippos
    No kidding. It's not a matter of if but just, when.

    Life after 30 isn't necessarily going to be that bleak for Ray Allen. So the Celtics decided that a team that gets around 50 wins for the next 3 years, with Rondo and Jefferson to build upon, is better than a team that would be mediocre, and have Rondo, West, the #5, and Jefferson to build upon. Would you rather have the Celtics continue through a few more years of mediocrity, only to get back to the point they were this past offseason? I can't blame KG for not wanting to come somewhere that hasn't been a playoff contender for some time. Once the Celtics start getting in the playoffs and making some noise, it will get a lot easier for them to bring in free agent talent.
