QUOTE(Heads22 @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 08:50 PM) Torres takes no hitter into the ninth for Kanny. You jinx. :headshake

QUOTE(GoSoxGo @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 08:28 PM) Good point, I forgot about Rowand. But if last season was a fluke and this is the real Rowand, he isn't as good offensively as those guys either. However, our pitching staff does look to be better in the future than the Indians. Especially when they lose Millwood to free agency. He is going to want huge dollars this offseason. But I still think their offense will be way better than ours now and in the future. Now you're changing the point. I was never arguing that their offense wasn't good, I was saying overall they aren't as young as people make them out to be. Sure, they do have some nice young offensive talent but it's not like their whole team is in their low 20's. Anyways, like I said, they can have their hitting core, I'll take our pitching core.

QUOTE(GoSoxGo @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 08:21 PM) To be more specific, the Indians' key position players are mostly young... Coco Crisp Victor Martinez Jhonny Peralta Grady Sizemore These 4 guys are all good, young players. We have Uribe and Crede as our young position players. Are Uribe and Crede even close to any of these guys offensively? Aaron Rowand doesn't count? Anyways, I'll take Mark Buehrle, Jon Garland, Bobby Jenks, Neal Cotts, they can have the offense, I'll take the pitching.

QUOTE(GoSoxGo @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 08:01 PM) You sure about that? C.C. Sabathia, Cliff Lee, Jake Westbrook, Grady Sizemore, Coco Crisp, Jhonny Peralta, Travis Hafner, and Victor Martinez are all young. Keep in mind that their young players are actually good. We have young guys like Uribe and Crede. Hafner is 28 and Westbrook is just about to turn 28 so I wouldn't necessarily consider them young. They have some young players but as a group they aren't very young, their average age is 29.3, ours is 29.5.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 07:51 PM) With the Indians being loaded with young, terrific players...this is the year to win the AL Central! The Indians aren't that young.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 07:48 PM) This is no dynasty. This team is overachieving and it will NOT happen next year, not unless we get more offense somehow and I mean a LOT of it. That being said, I don't see why they can't ride whatever it is they've been riding so far all the way to the WS this year. Ohh, thanks for the info, I guess I don't have to watch next season then.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 04:24 PM) What's written under Silva's cap? (this is the High Res pic) It's my turn now.

QUOTE(SnB @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 03:54 PM) um.......what!?! that's it, i'm finally befuddled. ^^^ QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 04:00 PM) What the hell? No one has ever heard people get offended at that phrase. Wow. I said it at school one time and everyone turned on me and I almost got myass beat...broaden your horizons people. Maybe, not to be racist or anything, the white people dont interact with the african americans or mexicans enough? Just throwing this out there. I am very surprised.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 03:49 PM) You have never heard people get offended by the term "you people"??? All the time, my grandma's dog got kicked because she called someone a person.

Farnsworth, Wagner and Jenks are the 3 hardest throwers in baseball, imo.

A few things: What exactly happened on the play where you guys said it was a bad call( I had to watch the last few innings on gameday in class) and how did Bobby look?? Perfect inning with 2 k's, I assume he looked good.

QUOTE(knightni @ Aug 25, 2005 -> 12:29 PM) More Griffey speculation, but alas, more talking and no real info. Gotcha, that's pretty much what I figured.....

So anything to make out of this 13 page thread? I just got my internet connection back so I just saw this......

Hooray for this thread. :rolly

The offense was horrible tonight just like it's been for a while now. I think ozzie is referring to the 8th inning though cause we absolutely hammered the ball that inning and got nothing to show for it.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 23, 2005 -> 10:50 PM) Always the consummate optimist. It's only your birthday for another 10 minutes after that, your free pass is gone. Go ahead, rip into me. You should know by now that I could care less about being ripped on for being optimistic. You got to admit it seems that nite is enjoying this.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 23, 2005 -> 10:13 PM) Stripjoint? Not yet, that'll be coming though.

You seem to be enjoying this. Have fun running your mouth while you can, I'm happy you're having a good time with the team losing. It won't last long though.

Thanks a lot guys, I had a pretty good day.

I think you guys know my answer. This team is to good to be this f***in bad, they'll get it going it just needs to be soon. I won't give up on them because of 2 s***ty weeks of baseball, they've earned more respect then that.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Aug 23, 2005 -> 07:42 PM) If that won't inspire this team to score some runs, I don't know what will. Panties.

QUOTE(SnB @ Aug 23, 2005 -> 03:54 PM) i wish i was as pretty as those dumb as brick girls Would Hawk have married you if you weren't?

Julio's one of my favorites. I hope he plays until he's 50, and why the hell not?? The guy can still hit, he's amazing.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 23, 2005 -> 11:56 AM) Why do people continue to argue with Jeckle regarding Gload's defense? The same arguement is just going to come up the next time someone mentions Gloads name, I don't see the point. Yeesh, sorry Kalapse. I'll play nice
