i2ockbotm Can I take the Indians?

It seems like that lineup could definitely take the central division, but I somehow come to that conclusion before the start of every season.

I'm very thankful he's a part of our team, flyball pitcher or not.

It helped him land Freddy Garcia for multiple years.

KW has made some quality moves. Turning Chad Bradford into Freddy Garcia probably the best. Bringing Esteban (2003), Uribe, Gload to the Sox were all respectable decisions. He's not the best, but not the worst.

Sticking metal objects into the toaster? I'll risk the burn instead.

Definitely not cool. I feel for your son.

Are you referring to Harris? He had a terrible final full month.

Right you are. He has regressed ever since he got here. Buy low, sell high. Can't trade Crede away right now.

Dye is considered an offseason splash? More like a dribble.

I have OCD and consequently wash my hands 20-30 times every day. It's the worst habit to have going into this part of the year.

Not that useful unless the rest of your team can provide you with a lead going into the late innings.

I think you're just getting a little stir-crazy. $12 million buys you three years of Vizquel. Add a little more and you get four years of Guzman. There are better ways a team could spend that much money. Detroit got fleeced.

Good thing he didn't use those pennies to purchase some CD's or bonds. They were much better off in the basement, losing value.

Except uglier!

I'm in favor of not dealing with Boras all things considered.

Hopefully he's better than Jason.

Burke impresses me more than both Damian Miller and Dan Wilson. I hope they'd just be bench players.

Guillen, Beltran, Guerrero...best outfield of our generation?

Man, you'd think I had claimed to be a proctologist somewhere in this thread. Steff and YAS keep telling me I don't know s***. Even though you two out-age me by more years than I'd like to know, I'll be mature and remove myself from any and all future posts in here. I'm sure the discussion will be better off with the combined insight of the poignant parental powerhouse that is Steff and YAS. :rolly :rolly

How can you honestly say I started anything with YASNY? I feel that is completely unfair. If anything I defended myself against the s*** he started. Things YASNY said to me BEFORE I took a jab at him: "Shut the f*** up". "You don't know s***." "I repeat. Shut the f*** up." "You still don't know s***." "You don't have that knowledge yet." "You have no basis to judge ANYONE as unfit or bad parent." (rediculous). "Stop acting like you have a f***ing clue. You don't." See? I was going to remove myself, but I think if these judgements were made about you for your OPINION then you might derail things slightly too. I did add something to this conversation anyway. I think there might be some blame to be placed on the boy's parent, and I argued my case. If you don't like it, then so be it. You don't have to chastise me the way YASNY did, or even call me stupid, ignorant, and idiotic like you did Steff. So before you single me out just because I'm one of the few posters who isn't afraid to have a different opinion than you and won't 'totally agree' with everything you say (don't you get tired of it?), I think it's only fair if you and YASNY accept some of the blame as well.

While you're spending those 'happy' years in prison, your sexually abused son would be forced to grow up in a strange, confusing world with no father figure to guide his way. Maybe once I gain this knowledge you speak of, I will understand and be able to parent my future children at your caliber.

Shut the f*** up? I don't know s***? Wow, I may only be 20, but your retorts don't suggest that maturity and age are correlated. Let me at least explain myself. I feel that if your child, at age eight, doesn't know that having intercourse with friends' mommies is wrong, then you have failed as a parent. I can understand it happening once, but the kid willingly let this go on for months. No morals had been instilled in him. Also, I know if I had a child, I would be extremely careful about which hands I entrusted him in. If you can't find anything odd about a woman who considered the child her "boyfriend" and hoped to "marry him someday" (doesn't suggest appropriate mental health, does it?), then your perception skills are about as deep as the kiddie pool. In a story like this, articles will always portray families as the helpless victims. All of you are so quick to accept that because you fail to realize that this may have actually been due to negligence. I think this could've been prevented.
