"Our Father, art thou in Heaven,
please bless this Cubs fans for his team will know only
the bitter fruit or failure and rot in baseball purgatory,
not because of a goat or a man named Bartelman (or whatever his name is),
but simply because they suck @ss. Allow them this
brief moment of hapiness over the 1st place Mets, for a candle shines brightly
before it goes out, and . . . did I mention they suck @ss?"

Amen.

Who the **** is Yuniesky Betancourt and why has he both owned Halladay and Ryan.
Click to expand...

He actually is one of those "hard luck hitters" who hits the ball hard all the time, but usually it's right at people. He makes a lot of solid contact, but doesn't get many hits because he tends to swing hard only to make contact, and really doesn't have much strategy at the plate. He has a decent amount of plate discipline but it doesn't help him.

I guess he was pissed that all the close calls were going the Jays way, he should be more concerned that Gil Meche sucks.

His numbers are pretty good for a shortstop I guess, OPS is a little average but OPS doesn't matter. /joe morgan.

Harold Reynolds was fired from Baseball Tonight for sexual harassment.

There's a seperate topic and it has been posted in this thread...but becauase of your post I can post this newest piece of info that makes the situation even more ridiculous:

Three people who work at ESPN and were familiar with the case said the cause was a pattern of sexual harassment, apparently culminating in a recent incident involving one of the network’s young production assistants.
...
Sexual harassment charges are nothing new at ESPN, which operates out of a sprawling “campus” in relatively isolated Bristol, Conn., and employs many production assistants in their early 20s. The network has an extensive program of education and sensitivity regarding gender issues and an elaborate system for pursuing claims of sexual harassment.
...
In addition to “Baseball Tonight” Reynolds, 45, who is married and has an infant daughter, worked as a game analyst for the Little League World Series and College World Series. Reynolds was very popular personally among ESPN staffers, many of whom were shocked by his dismissal.

I don't know why we are using both Speier and Ryan, what if we need them tommorrow. Just send League out there to clean up.
 
Fifty said:
Yeah, I have no idea why Ryan was pitching....He'd better be able to go tomorrow if need be.

He threw 10 pitches so I guess he can go, but still a baffling decision.
 
Fifty said:
The explanation must be that he hadn't pitched since July 20th and he needed to get work in.

I guess that is a good enough excuse.

And Oaklands bullpen ****ing sucks, 6 runs in the 8th. Jesus.

Oh please, your team took 3 of 4 at Fenway. Quit bitching.

Or are you still mad because Derek Lowe crotch chopped your dugout 3 years ago?

I'm mad because my team has an ERA of 235.2 and puts up about 10 runs a series.

DEENK OF DE CHEELDREN
 
Alex Rodriguez, who is booed worse in Texas than at Yankee Stadium, found a way to make the crowd laugh.

After the sixth inning, the "Kiss Cam" -- in which couples are shown on the stadium video board and encouraged to smooch -- zoomed in on Rodriguez and Andy Phillips on the Yankees bench.

So Rodriguez grabbed Phillips and gave him a peck on the head. The fans cheered, and Rodriguez stood up and raised his fists in triumph.

"That's the first kiss I had in a long time," Rodriguez joked after the game. "They loved it."

Asked what Phillips told him, Rodriguez said, "To do it again."

Said Phillips: "It means a lot. I can tell my grandkids about that."

Sup mother****ers, you can't touch this!

Harang is probably a top 3 pitcher in the NL (behind Webb and Carpenter) and he gets NO press. Amazing.

PS: The best pitchers in the league are in the AL this year!

The Rays GM is an idiot. Ever since the Kazmir/Zambrano trade the Rays apparently believe they can trade shit for great prospects. Now Lugo is far from crappy, but he's a free agent at the end of the season. The team quite simply doesn't know how to trade.
Click to expand...

Disagree, the new front office has been much more reasonable and active in the market over the past year. They've moved Baez, Gathright, Hendrickson and Huff since taking over. The Baez deal probably won't work out (Edwin Jackson looks ruined), but they got a steal moving Hendrickson and the other deals were fair.

As for Lugo, being a free agent isn't necessarily a bad thing, as some teams don't want to commit eight figures and several years to someone just to get veteran help this season. The Rays will need to negotiate and bring down their price a bit, but I think they'll actually be flexible, unlike the old regime which really was filled with idiots too afraid to make a move.

The Post and Daily News really are ****ing awful when it comes to this stuff. Completely unbelievable rumors always involving the Mets or Yanks picking up good or even great major league players for prospects not named Hughes, Tabata, Milledge or Pelfrey.

You mean Proctor? That's what the Post is saying. Apparently such a move would then allow us to also shop Cano next season. I smell horseshit.

'Cause it is, why would they shop Cano? :lol































SORIANO RETURNS?
 
I really think the media is confounded that we haven't made the same asinine moves of the past so they just make up asinine scenarios to gin up some controversy.
 
The Yankees should trade for Todd Jones and try to bring back Gabe White. That would be awesome to have that many porn staches on the same squad.
