    Playing Devil's Advocate, every year except last year. But I definitely think he will be competent depending on your definition of competent. What do you mean every year except last year? He didn't have a good year in '05? '00? Ell his ERAs were good those year but he wasn't really that good. His WHIP was 1.35 in 2000 and 1.43 in 2005.

    For all the people saying it was necessary to dump DeRosa to get Bradley Gregg plus Miles- $6.4M Wuertz plus DeRosa- $6.6M I'd much rather have the second combination.
  3. 17 Seconds
    any way you slice it, trading derosa and bringing in bradley was an upgrade to the team. that remains to be seen

    so you're saying he should be a quitter?

    i feel the exact opposite. this kind of loss pisses me off to no end. here are my rankings of "types of game that piss me off most" 1. losing because of a blown call or just crappy officiating in general 2. completely dominating but losing because of bad luck/ bad breaks 3. blowing a game right at the end (aka heartbreakers) 4. just flat out getting beaten tonight's game is a combination of the top 2, which is pretty much the worst ever. we win this game 19 times out of 20

    how many effing time are we going to watch a backup goalie play the game of his life against us this season? seriously.

    by far the most frustrating game of the season i'm just going to pretend this one never happened
  8. 17 Seconds
    If that's what you want to pretend, go right ahead. I tried tio make nice and you told me to shut up and then called me an effing [expletive]. I have more PMs recieved from you than PMs I've sent. Whatever though, I don't care. I guess all that matters is that I now know that a guy who has a high 4's ERA over a 5 year span is a very good pitcher, as long as his peripherals looks pretty.
  9. 17 Seconds
    Oh and stop saying Vazquez is a very good pitcher. Peripherals don't make you a good pitcher. When your ERA is in the mid to high 4's for 5 out of the last years, you're not unlucky or decieving. You're just not that good. The goal is to not give up runs. When your peripherals don't match up with your ERA one season or maybe even 2 seasons, you can make arguments about the pitcher being good. When it happens every year, it's no longer a fluke. You're giving up a lot of runs every year.

    Why did you post this? Yeah, it's not like Young was good enough to be the centerpiece in a trade that netted a four time 200 K guy. Badnews never said anything about him bringing back a good pitcher. If you're not saying he brought back an elite pitcher then why did you reply to his post like he was? Oh and don't even bring up PMs considering you're the one who sent me PMs telling me to "Shut up" and then threatening to ofllow me around the board and taunt me.

    let loose cyno, let loose this is garbage

    soft goal from huet. i can't bleieve they're going to lose this game.
  13. 17 Seconds
    wow. cherry picking pecota projections to argue that they're similar pitchers? i'm shocked that meph would resort to something like that. shocked. vazquez is one of those guy whose peripherals always looks good but they never translate into actually being good. ERA+ last 5 seasons 92 100 98 127 98 wow. STUD. seriously you could make the argument he's a decent or even good pitcher, but to say he's an elite pitcher is just a flat out lie and you know it. when your era has been in the mid-to-high 4's in 4 of the last 5 seasons, you're not a top pitcher. period. you still didn't answer the question that would potentially end this argument though. is javier vazquez an elite pitcher?
  14. 17 Seconds
    it's not semantics when the argument is that far from the truth. that's like saying that arguing whether or not orlando hudson is an elite hitter is semantics.

    lolol

    [expletive] Toronto We're gonna lose this game 2-1 on soe BS bounce

    Okay now Harding is really starting to make me mad.
  20. 17 Seconds
    They aren't helping themselves by pissing away a 5 on 3 by passing it for over a minute without shooting
  21. 17 Seconds
    Wow pathetic shift on the 5 on 3 after the review. Kane hols the puck for about 20 seconds and then does nothing
  22. 17 Seconds
    How to neither of those go in? That's unbelievable
  23. 17 Seconds
    Is Harding serious right now? WTF
  24. 17 Seconds
    Wow that's the third time in the last 2 games Toews has blown a wide open net Long 5-3 here... must score
  25. 17 Seconds
    So then you think that Miles has respectable numbers too, right? Last year was the only season Miles has matched Grudz production. In previous years he wasn't really close.
