What a terrible player.

JP with ducks on the pond. Fail probability: 98.7%

QUOTE (Real @ Apr 18, 2011 -> 06:43 PM) Every team in our division has a pitcher better than anybody we have, save the Royals (though will that be true next year?) I'd take Masterson over anybody in our rotation I like Masterson. But over Danks?

QUOTE (Real @ Apr 18, 2011 -> 06:41 PM) LOL? Yet Pierre can? Ozzie's not benching Pierre under any circumstance.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 18, 2011 -> 06:29 PM) you gotta admit, he's shown flashes. Of course he has. But when you see the Castro's, McCutchen's, Heyward's, Posey's, ect make pretty effortless transitions to the big leagues it gets rather frustrating.

Really frustrating when you look all around baseball and see young talent shining, while we're still waiting for Beckham to 'get it.'

Beckham reverting back to 2010.

QUOTE (knightni @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 07:38 PM) If someone paid me to talk on the radio about the Sox, I'd be a colossal homer too. True. And I said in chat that I understood that. But he brings that here as well.

Sorry, Ranger. You're lying your ass off if you dispute that you're not a colossal homer.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 06:54 PM) Well...I played all through college...and in leagues (baseball) until I was 45 in IL and AZ. I understand the ebbs and flows of the season. If you read back to some of my earlier posts in the offseason...I was one that said didn't expect too much out of Gordo. Love his drive. But I just don't see...or anointing him as a future star. I hope I'm wrong. He'll have his hot streaks...but I don't see him carrying his team during stretches (which is what a star does IMO). It has nothing to do with the last week or so. Let me ask you a question...so do consider Juan Uribe a star? lol. you apparently don't remember how much DA worshiped Uribe and I think Contreras.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 06:50 PM) Don't think the Sox will offer arbitration to JP after this season. They better not. I've had enough of JP to last two lifetimes.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 06:36 PM) Anyone who would trade Rose for Paul right now or ever needs their head examined and puts way too much emphasis on one playoff game. Steve, you've become a homer to the extreme. I'm just fine with Rose. But don't act like comparing Rose and Paul is like comparing MJ to Reggie Miller.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 06:15 PM) Not just hear, I mean on Twitter etc. it's a little out of hand. Exactly like how people talk about a QB after a Super Bowl Haha. You said hear. I'm just pointing this out because I'm still embarrassed that I didn't realize that was EE in your avy. but At least I was intoxicated.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 06:02 PM) This is funny, CP3, while fantastic, has a great game for the first time in who knows how long and all of a sudden he's the best ever again. You know I'm not like that. But today just reinforced how good this guy is when he's right. And he hasn't been that bad the last couple years, actually. It just looks bad compared to '08 and '09.

Joe Saunders and trash for Dan Haren. Unbelievable.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 05:38 PM) I read that forum a ton for Bulls news, but they are so anal there. If you don't 1,000+ posts, anything you say will be flamed. Realgm overall is a terrible board.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 05:43 PM) Matt Kemp Walks off against Franklin, his 2nd HR against him in a couple days. Not sure if it was you. It probably wasn't. But I argued a few months back that guys like Kemp and B.J. Upton are the types you take a chance on even if they've underachieved. And multiple posters said I was crazy. I'd give up anything for Kemp.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 05:43 PM) Wow, Ryan Franklin f***ing sucks He makes our bullpen look like the '90 Reds. Oh my god. He's fun bad.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 05:24 PM) That offered right now, you take it and run. That offered 3-4 years from now, you say thanks but no thanks. And judging by this game, CP3's knee finally looks explosive again, but we'll see. If it's back to normal (and that's a big if) it's not even a debate who is the best. Go to the Bulls thread on realgm and say this and you're getting banned. lol. Rose is fabulous. But so is Paul. That's all I'm saying.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 05:22 PM) I wonder if you watched the Bulls game yesterday. I doubt the Lakers give Paul that much room again. The Lakers had a couple of possessions where Gasol got crossed up and was defending Paul 1 on 1. It's not that hard to shake a 7 footer when you have the quickness that Paul has. I'm surprised that somebody like you that is obsessed with advanced metrics would dismiss any argument that a healthy Paul is better than Rose. lol.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 05:12 PM) Isn't Car Go one of your favorites? He didn't exactly start out on fire. Beckham has produced. He produced as a rookie and had a nice 2nd half last year. He also was on fire this year until about a week ago. I didn't say Beckham sucked. But he has been inconsistent. Are you disputing that? Other younger players have not had this problem. I want Gordon to shine probably more than anybody on this site. Everybody knows my obsession with young, premium talent.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 05:12 PM) You wouldn't be upset about trading a 22 years explosive, athletic freak for an older PG that is good but is breaking down health wise? That would be an awful trade right now. QUOTE (danman31 @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 05:14 PM) From an age standpoint that would be dreadful though. All things being equal, of course. I mean, LeBron is 4-5 years older than Rose but his ass is gone (if i'm the GM) and the Heat called and offered him up for Rose. But all things are really never equal in cases like this. So I'm just fine with Rose. lol.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 05:03 PM) Biased, very limited basis for comparison, but Rose still seems to be the better player to me. But they're both fantastic. Let's just say if the Bulls somehow traded Rose for Paul I wouldn't be that upset. That's not a knock on Rose at all by the way.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 05:00 PM) Lakers down 10 with about 1:20 left, Chris Paul taking over in the 4th. D-rose is god. But Chris Paul is the f***in' s***. When he's healthy, I don't know, It's hard to argue that he's not the top PG in the game. Then again, Fisher was checkin' him most of this game.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Apr 17, 2011 -> 04:56 PM) It's actually pretty upsetting when a player has a s***ty week and everyone writes them off lmao. Beckham continues to improve every season everywhere they stick him and people are saying he is going to be Tadahito f***ing Iguchi because he has a bad week and everyone is pissy that we get our asses handed to us by the Angels. Explain yourself.
