  2. abuck1220
    come on, give it to greene...you have three timeouts left. you really leaving this up to a guy named ricky?
  3. abuck1220
    so what's penn state, really, like the 10th best team in the nation?
  4. abuck1220
    hand the ball off, wtf.
  5. abuck1220
    stupid braves, you're nowhere close to competing next year. just let the cubs have peavy already.

    so meph has stooped to drafting fake trade reports? my how the mighty have fallen.

    Knights of Columbus, that hurt. Great contribution to the thread too. Also, glad you could make the assumption that I've only followed the cubs, or more specifically rich hill, since 2007. Would it be better to have a huge freaking internet ego like most of you and just type that I know everything about rich hill, and for that matter, everything? you continue to get upset about people who are not contributing to this thread, apparently unaware that you have not contributed one bit of analysis/info yourself.

    he didn't have time to research farther back than 2007, get off his back.
  9. abuck1220
    oh really.
  10. abuck1220
    uh oh, jared leto may have a second wind...
  11. abuck1220
    you know that part in fight club were edward norton beats the hell out of jared leto and then he just keeps punching and punching and punching until jared leto's all limp and bloody and they have to pull edward norton off him and everyone is just disgusted?

    i don't think many people thought iowa was terrible, except for overly-cynical iowa fans. it's certainly no walkover for penn state, but they certainly have a larger hurdle to clear before heading out to iowa city. iowa was terrible early in the season...no real two ways about it. of course they've since stopped playing christensen and they've gotten much better.

    if i've learned anything in this thread it's that kurt russell doesn't have a very impressive filmography.
  14. abuck1220
    they're spread out over like seven years. and he's had a couple very good individual series. did he go from unable to hit postseason pitching in the '01 alds to being ok with postseason pitching in the '01 alcs to back to sucking in the '02 alds to back to being awesome in the '03 alds?
  15. abuck1220
    sorry, but that list doesn't really bowl me over. there are too many crappy guys in the "good" area and too many good guys in the "crappy" area for me to put too much stock into that. also, guys at the "bad" end of that spectrum have had good playoff numbers as recently as this year (hunter, braun) and a few of the "good" guys (theriot, r martin) have sucked.
  16. abuck1220
    see, there you go...unanimous board love for a guy that everyone should know is terrible. thanks for proving my point. VICTORY.
  17. abuck1220
    because 1) he really doesn't swing and miss at every low and away slider and 2) throwing a pitch exactly where you want it every time is easier said than done.
  18. abuck1220
    i'm so sick of this board and its undying love for joey gathright. everywhere i look i see people clamoring to trade for him, giving him mvp votes, etc. it's sickening...he had a 55 OPS+ this year...55!!! that's terrible. you guys are such idiots.
  19. abuck1220
    so because smoltz's best pitch is his fb, he's like "well, i could get him out by throwing crap out of the zone (which i'm perfectly capable of doing), but because my best pitch is my fastball, i'm going to throw him one so he can hit a moonshot off me."
  20. abuck1220
    wow, this is just an atrocious post top to bottom. everyone realizes that soriano has a tendency to occasionally swing at garbage. however, if it were as simple as just throwing breaking pitches low and away, don't you think "control artists" like haren and smoltz would do just that to retire him? i mean, they're "control artists" after all.
  21. abuck1220
    where are you getting this delusional idea that everyone here loooooooves josh hamilton?
  22. abuck1220
    i wish the yankees would hurry up and trade cano and melky in one trade to some stupid gm so we wouldn't have to hear anything about them ever again.
  23. abuck1220
    this is not going well for you.
  24. abuck1220
    soriano has good career numbers against wakefield, escobar, lohse, carpenter, snell, garland, smoltz, haren, kevin brown...all righthanders who are capable of throwing offspeed stuff out of the zone if that's all it took to retire soriano every time. not to mention good numbers against lefty soft tossers like mulder, glavine and lilly.
  25. abuck1220
    i like the idea of marmol starting.
