    So they miss the playoffs, but maybe the rest of the guys learn how to play together and grow into a TEAM. i'm confused...that's the result you want?
  2. abuck1220
    they could have had a 1-2 punch of hamels/myers last year if they weren't idiots. maybe they would have won a game in the playoffs if they weren't starting kyle kendrick in game 2.
  3. abuck1220
    yeah, i wonder who we have to thank for that.
  4. abuck1220
    :evil:

    yeah, i would like hendry, for once, to stay out of the FA reliever market...but i'm not sure he can help himself.
  6. abuck1220
    no.
  7. abuck1220
    ouchers.

    you're still crying about this?

    "he was an all-star 8 years ago" is the new "he led the league in hitting for two months" and "he had the fourth highest average with runners in scoring position among guys with 100 strikeouts."

    at least giving arod $30 mil/year would be overpaying for someone good for once.
  11. abuck1220
    is there a baseball comedy hall of fame?
  12. abuck1220
    absolutely. he's still two years away from being a FA, right?
  13. abuck1220
    and this is where the $2.5 mil for blanco, $3-4 mil for eyre, etc really comes back to bite you. there's not really anyone worth spending $15 mil on, so you might as well pony up an extra $10 or so and get arod.
  14. abuck1220
    damn.
  15. abuck1220
    all i know is that we are about to enter a golden era for firejoemorgan.
  16. abuck1220
    exactly. and he'll know it's a safe move because people love that little guy.
  17. abuck1220
    clearly baltimore's problem the past few seasons is an overabundance of starting pitchers.

    It's possible the Yankees might not have made the playoffs without A-Rod this year. However, 7 other teams did make the playoffs without A-Rod. It doesn't require that you have a 30m player on your roster to make the playoffs. If the Yankees lost A-Rod this offseason, and they went out and spent 30m on pitching (and not just part time players like Clemens), I think they could get back to the playoffs without A-Rod. this is a valid point my man... yeah, the more i think about it...i just hope we keep building without a-rod...way too much money that we could be spending else where a-rod is not single-handedly going to bring up a trophy Even without A-Rod, the Yankees offense is awesome. Let him walk and spend that money on pitching like BBB said. Pitching was the Yanks achillies heel this year, not hitting. yeah, because johan santana, jake peavy and 1967 bob gibson are all free agents this winter. i'd rather pay $30 mil for arod than $30 mil on the equivalents of jaret wright and carl pavano just so you can say you "spent it on pitching."

    iowa state has 70 average to below average players and one above average player. you'd think that when they have the chance to beat the #5 team in the nation, they'd want to involve that one above average player.
  20. abuck1220
    only really cool people are in both.
  21. abuck1220
    i kinda wanted usf to win so there could be a pitiful bc/usf national title game, but after watching usf's qb for five minutes i wanted them to lose. how have the won all those games with him back there? terrible.
  22. abuck1220
    who said hart is untouchable and who gushed over rocky cherry? gushing cherry!
  23. abuck1220
    can't help it if i'm cool.
  24. abuck1220
    is it for a burn book like in movie mean girls? it is, isn't it? it's a burn book. good luck with that.
  25. abuck1220
    none of the above. what is it then? you've posted like 100 times in this thread, and i can't figure out what else it would be.
