  1. Well they looked like crap in the offseason when they were made and.... surprise.... they look like crap now too. This thread may be a little much though.
  2. Well that's relevant.
  3. Are you still going to bash us for criticizing Hendry's offseason moves or are you going to continuie to give him a free pass all season again. Nevermind, I know the answer to that.
  4. He's proven that he has a career .824 OPS. Seriously, I was blasted in the offseason when I had some questions about how good he'd be even when he was on the field. I thought he'd be good, but I don't understand why people were penciling him in to be some awesome offensive threat. I was expecting a high .800's OPS, but it wouldn't surprise me to get like 100 games of an .830 OPS or something trashy like that. YeAh his career .824 is partially because of bad parks, but he always got helped ENORMOUSLY by Arlington last year. So for all the people saying "he's getting his walk, he'll rake eventually..... walk were never the question. He has a career .370 OPB and still only an .824 OPS. He doesn't always hit guys. I was right there on board with you. Bradley's offense has often looked quite good for a center fielder, but he's not playing center field. He's a corner outfielder that posts an OPS a couple dozen points better than Matt Murton's 2006. And he's not on the field much to boot. If it wasn't for this stupid crap about needing a more left handed lineup, we could have just used DeRo in right full time. And we still would've added another lefty in Fontenot. Not to mention that Bradley isn't even good as a lefty. He has a .798 OPS as a lefty and .887 as a righty. Hendry basically added another one of the guys he thought were the problem in the playoffs last year.

  6. Lou is awful And here is exactly what I was afraid of when we traded DeRosa and signed Bradley. Reed Johnson against RHP. Yay.
  7. what is hendry doing to this bullpen
  8. it was the same thing in 2004.
  9. even during an awesome moment you have to be a little bitch Is that really necessary? his post? no. mine was tongue in cheek
  10. even during an awesome moment you have to be a little bitch
  11. i hate evenly split PPs between 2 periods
  12. Saying "oh noez" is as clever and original as your avatar
  13. Need to keep the momentum going
  14. Whatever, you're being really obnoxious. And once again you don't argue any of the points I made. You're right. Khabi isn't playing badly. The Flames aren't outplaying us at all this series. They had no chance in either of the first 2 games. We straight up dominated them. Hawks win in 5. Is that better? I'm not sure I'm allowed to point out anything negative. What point am I supposed to counter? The only thing I took exception to was you declaring the series over. Do I really need to explain to you why we shouldn't just stop watching now? And I'm the one being obnoxious. Uhh, once again, where did I ever say I was going to stop watching or giving up? I didn't declare anything over. I said I don't feel good about it. Never gave up on anything
  15. Better than a reputation for being a little obnoxious kid who likes to take shots at me even though he can't argue a single thing I said. If I pointed out that Bradley has sucked so far you'd probably criticie me for being over negative and ridiculous. Oh well, keep thinking that your avatar of a manager who left 3 years ago is funny and original.

  17. God that last soft goal from Khabi really hurts now
  18. Yawn. What? I didn't understand the talk of the series being over after the first 2 games, even though it was arguable which team outplayed the other. Now in the 2 games at Calgary the Flames have clearly outplayed the Hawks. For the whole series, the Flames have been the better team. We were lucky to up 2-0. Now that advantage is gone and Khabi looks like complete ass. The Flames clearly are the favorites right now. Best 2 of 3, with two in a building the Flames haven't won in all year. The Flames hadn't beaten us in Calgary either
  19. Call me when Calgary wins a road game, which they sort of have to do. Because they had no chance in either of those 2 games right? And the Blackhawks have no chance in game 6? Huh? You're not even listening to what I'm saying. I'm not saying the Hawks are dead or anything close to that. I'm saying that right now the Flames have the advantage.

S orry, but you're way out of line and just using my reputation against me. I'm not being pessismistic right now, I'm being realistic. You didn't argue any of the points I made because they're all true. Am I saying the Hawks don't have a great chance? No. They could easily win the next 2. I'm just saying as of right now, the odds are probably on the Flames.
  21. Call me when Calgary wins a road game, which they sort of have to do. Because they had no chance in either of those 2 games right?
  22. Call me when Calgary wins a road game, which they sort of have to do. It is just dexter being dexter.......par for the course. Wow. Yeah we're getting outplayed like crazy, were lucky to be up 2-0 after the first 2 games, have lost all the momentum, and our goalie is playing like trash. Dn't let that get in the way of you trying to take shots at me for no reason though.
