  1. they look good so far, but man, i get pissed pretty much every time campbell touches the puck
  2. you signed a contract knowing you were suppose to earn it. he hasn't come close to earning it and won't. if i'm the angels i say "you want a chance to play every day? fine, we'll release you. all you have to do is forfeit the rest of your contract. basically you can stay here and be a bench player for 3/32, or you can test your luck somewhere else. what do you choose?"
  3. this sounds like the definition of a desperation move
  4. I love when crappy players who were lucky enough to get ridiculously big contracts (that they didn't deserve) bitch about playing time. Just shut up and be glad you're so rich for sucking
  5. oh i thought you meant number 2 player. i suck
  6. both of those guys are also better than gordon and did either of those guys win a title as a number 2?
  7. if ben gordon is your number 2, you're never winning anything. it's as simple as that.
  8. You can't be serious. what? every time gordon has a game where he goes off we hear about how awesome he is and that we need to pay him. so after one of his patented "i'm ice cold tonight but i'm going to keep heaving up shots like crazy anyways" nights i can't call him out? or it could be because of his overall stats. which aren't great. he's a good shooter, that's it. he averages like 20, 3, and 3. that's a guy you want to give a huge contract to? that's a waste of money on a non-star player. we need to save that money and go after one of the 2010 guys to pair with rose. THAt is how we'll win a championship. not by giving big contracts to alright players like gordon.

  10. yeah but we can wait like 10 games for khabi to get hot again? What did my post have to do with Khabi? Everyone always says Huet needs a few games to really get going. I was just pointing out that we don't have that luxury right now. just pointing out that even though khabi has been trash since he came back, nobody says a word about it. then the second huet is back in there the posts about him sucking start to show up again. khabi gets a free pass for some reason Honestly, I don't a [expletive] rat's ass about that right now. well is khabi continues to play like crap we'll have no chance whatsoever in the playoffs.

  13. may have had something to do with cabrera and do we still think miller is even that good? Considering his history, potential, and lack of major league service time, yes. potential, yes, but what history? his small minor league career has mixed numbers. the only place he's really been that good was aa at age 22 (4 starts) and then a few brief appearances in A ball from 21-23 that made his career numbers look good. if you take out that 4 start stretch at aa there's not much to get that excited about, numbers wise, and so far at the major league level he's shown nothing.
  14. the 39 is total bases. he has 10 rbi
  15. it's about doing what's best for the team, not making individual players happy. marmol is most valuable where he is now. anyways, if he hits free agency as a closer he's going to get a huge paycheck and one i'd rather not pay for a reliever
  16. he's been garbage since he came back but nobody can admit it
  17. hawks win this one 3-2 on an ot goal from toews
  18. nobody is saying he wouldn't get paid even if he hits FA without closing experience. he'll just get a lot more if he is a closer at the time. thats just the way it works, even if it shouldn't
  19. I'd rather have Hoff in CF than half shirt wearing nancy boy. Hoff will give you the same range but won't dramaqueen it up. I guess you were in a coma last summer? he was talking about defense. edmonds was really really bad defensively last season
  20. may have had something to do with cabrera and do we still think miller is even that good?
  21. i never understand when people say this. the only way a person would even see a cuss word is if they were standing over your shoulder reading. and if they did, they'd be close enough to see that its a baseball message board. why would they care if somebody on it said a bad word?
  22. yeah i think it's pretty weak too, but whatever
  23. 8 of 10 possible points in the last 10, 3 straight wins, 2 straight against top 5 teams.... lookin pretty good
