  1. What a hypocrite. "Cock-eyed optimists" "FO ballwashers". Etc etc etc. If anyone's sick here, it's you, with that unnaturaly inflated ego. Who do you remind me of? Oh, wait....
  2. This thread makes me wanna punch myself in the face. I'll be taking a time-out. Peace.
  3. Oh, you mean like the name calling you engage in? Do you want me to find some examples of you calling people who express a positive view of the team names? Because i can.
  4. Zambrano was traded, unless you're talking about the leftover money. If he manages to move the Soriano contract, he would be doing a great service to that franchise.
  5. I know exactly what i say, how i say it and when i say it. I take posts from where they come. Here's the thing: You are a grade-A *******. You think that all of the negative ******** you spew is the complete and absolute truth, and you combine yourself with the rest of your crew to create a shitstorm of negative ******** that turns this board damn near unreadable. I take everything you say as an insult, because it usually is a thinly-veiled insult. Or an outright insult. You have no moral standing to call anyone out on anything in this board. When i say something, i mean it as such, without any second intention. When i want to call a poster stupid, i will call him stupid, and not the specific idea which i am quoting. I do not give a flying f*** how you and your crew interpret it. And for the record, i don't consider a700 to be stupid, even though i do consider him to be extremely annoying.
  6. I find this to be deliciously ironic mind you.
  7. An early candidate for POTY award!
  8. Please post more. Please.
  9. Whatever bro. Read into it what you want. I will continue to call a spade a spade.
  10. I was talking about the Cubs bro. I've been one of the most ardent defenders of the current Red Sox team on this board. Please don't lump me in with the "disaster strikes" crowd.
  11. By the way, comparing the Marlins to the Cubs is asinine. The Marlins have newfound revenue and reason to spend: They had no bad contracts, a solid farm system, a new stadium and internal stability. The Cubs are quite the opposite, it's comparing apples to dragons. And like dragons, the Cubs' chance of contending in 2012 is a mythical creature who many believe exists, but no one can provide proof of its existence.
  12. They are blowing up the team. There is absolutely nothing complicated about that. They have no design on contending in 2012, because the 2011 team was a piece of s*** loaded with bad contracts, a barren farm system, and incompeten coaching/managing. There is nothing "Moneyball" about it. It is not rocket science.
  13. This may be the dumbest post i have read on this site. Congratulations.
  14. Didn't you just say in another thread that you read the Sox have around 5-6 mill to spend? That would be enough for Harden and a BP arm, which would make it a successful off-season IMO.
  15. It was very interesting reading on WEEI yesterday when the Kuroda rumor was posted that his signing immediately sent the Red Sox back into the MLB's "elite". That tells me that this team is seen as being a pitcher away from being one of the best in the Majors, and that the collection of talent is significant, contradicting some of the rhetoric you read around these parts.
  16. Boy, you sure are sensitive today. I was looking for clarification, but apparently caught you in "one of those days". Btw, i missed an H on Buchholz while quick-responding, which does not have a K or T in it.
  17. Then this sentence is extremely confusing. The end seems like affirmation that the Sox actually passed on Kuroda at 8.5.
  18. How do you know they passed on Kuroda at 8.5 million? That's simply speculation.
  19. That's my definition of a joke. What i was getting at was the initial tangent, not the smiley-faced comment in the last post. Should have made myself clear.
  20. And this is where the use of the term is incorrect and the discussion goes on a tangent. Maholm is not a "moneyball" acquisition. He's a cheap starter for a team in rebuilding mode.
  21. See, now this is funny.
  22. fred, seriously with the f***ing nicknames? Also, the Sox appear to be working hard on Kuroda. I wonder, if they sign him, will you calm the f*** down before you throw yourself off a 12th floor?
  23. It is as obvious as the fact that water is wet that the Cubs have no designs on contending in 2012 and are rather plugging holes in order to field "a team" in 2012. The Cubs are focused on the long-term because there is no logical way for them to build a contender for next season. There's nothing to see here, folks, move on. This has nothing to do with "Moneyball" as a concept.
