QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 12:24 PM) Wait, you mean saying that one player is better than or equal to every other player at his position in MLB and then backing up his statement not with stats or fact but with conjecture is somehow hypocritical? you better watch your words buddy or you will be on the wrong side of a 1000 dollar bet

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 12:19 PM) It has to do with you people shooting off your mouths, THEN not having the cojones to back up your words! Sure buddy. We have backed pretty much everything we have argued with facts, while you keep trying to change your argument and then bet us 1000 bucks so we will shut up. Give it up, even if you were a lawyer, and even if you did take 1000 bucks from Rock, you would still be wrong in your arguments here.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 12:17 PM) Haha, didn't even notice that he mentioned Vlad's name. You'd figure someone who supposidly watches Sox games would have seen him lay a massive egg in the playoffs last year. Oh, Felix got him on that one. If you go back, Felix kept throwing in some good zingers

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 12:16 PM) Why does everything become a bet? I think that has to do with feeling a little inadequate after being pwned in a thread repeatedly.

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 12:14 PM) Then bet me!!! BTW, dob 01/01/1962!!! would you stop making that dumbass bet and try and argue like an adult?

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 12:11 PM) A 14 year old lawyer. Wow! I'm impressed. uh oh, another Admin pwning?

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 12:08 PM) Keep on backing down, Rock. That's one thing you're good at, not letting your mouth write checks that your ass can't cash. Coward. :headshake This is hilarious. you keep doing the same thing, making bad arguments through a thread and deteriorating into name calling, worthless bets, and more name calling. Steve Bartman would be ashamed edit: Kalapse, you better not close this at 220 just so you win the bet

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 12:06 PM) You can bet me too, but I know you can't get a $1,000.00 together, McDonalds doesn't pay that well. LOLOLOL. You know you have won an argument with SBMI when this happens. Take note people!

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 12:05 PM) I'LL SUE YOU. WWSBMID?

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 12:03 PM) We're at 193 right now and I'm surprised its got this far, I say 220. SBMI is betting people a grand again, that usually closes threads rather quickly. I think thats his escape clause when the argument overwhelms him. Start throwing around monopoly money and IQ numbers, and VOILA'! Closed thread

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 12:01 PM) So then ask me to compare Barry Bonds with Ichiro. They are outfielders who played in a WS. Ichiro was never in a world series. Keep changing the argument Steve, its just funny to watch now

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 11:57 AM) Malatov threads. Add one seemingly benign topic, mix in one SBIMI, three regular posters, and watch the thread explode. LOL

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 11:54 AM) Why don't you ask me if I'd rather have Konerko or Bonds? At least they're comparable talent-wise! because he is comparing outfielders, just like you were comparing pitchers, randomly with the criteria being whether they were in and won a world series. Come on lawyer, stay with the flow.

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 11:52 AM) It would be more embarassing WHEN you are handing me $1,000.00. How/when do you want me to prove you wrong (again)? the online bet means nothing. Quit posturing, you have been so wrong in your last couple arguments its just silly

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 11:44 AM) It doesn't. Admittedly I don't watch NL baseball, I don't like it. I think it's inferior. Then why are you making all these crazy claims?

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 11:43 AM) If you insist. (You're the genius here, not me.) There it is again. You always have to bring this up in your arguments.

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 11:41 AM) There are intangibles that need to be considered that don't necessarily show up on stat sheets. MB is a great defensive pitcher. He's a leader, a great clubhouse guy, and a "stopper". Hmm, So how does that make him better than Smoltz, Clemens, Santana, Peavy, etc...

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 11:36 AM) You can't say how he'd perform in the playoffs. Look at Barry Bonds...arguably the best player in the last 20 years. Check out his playoff numbers...they suck. One could argue that he's not clutch; that he doesn't perform well under pressure. We cannot make an assumption on Santana either way, because we have yet to see him pitch in a playoff. What about Barry Bonds performance in the 2002 playoffs?

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 11:33 AM) And they guy with the lower era could have that cuz his team is better defensively and/or cuz he pitches in the NL. come on, stay on your topic. We are talking about Wins, the most important stat, not ERA. Your argument is falling apart at the seams

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 11:28 AM) I asked, if you had a WS on the line and had to pick one of these guys to win your game 7, who do you pick? I'd go with MB (or Pedro) (proven CLUTCH pitchers). No, you started this fun thing off by stating that Buehrle is better than all of the above mentioned pitchers. Then you changed it to "I would take Buehrle over (insert pitchers name) or Clemens because Clemens is old" Same story, different thread.

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 11:26 AM) Over the last 5 yeras, who has the most wins out of all the pitchers mentioned? You guys have access to all the stats...educate me. Wins, the holy grail of pitching stats.

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 11:23 AM) I agree. Over the course of their respective careers, Clemens is much better than Buehrle. However, in 2006 AND beyond, I'd rather have Buehrle than Clemens. (Rocket is 43!!!) who asked that? What does that have to do with what we are arguing about?

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 11:22 AM) Dude...you just said that I can't base my opinion of MB based one his having one good season...he has had as many, if not more good seasons than any of the pitchers I have just mentioned. Oh yeah? Prove it mr smarty pants. If you are gonna shoot your mouth off repeatedly, back it up.

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 11:21 AM) Except that if I said for example, that 2+2=5, that is a statement that can be proven wrong, whereas if I say I'd rather have Mark Buehrle pitching for me than Roger Clemens, you cannot prove me wrong. but thats the funny thing. You didnt say that. You said, and continue to say that Mark Buehrle is BETTER than the above mentioned pitchers. You saying that you would rather have Buehrle start over Clemens is you changing your argument mid-stream, again.

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Jan 26, 2006 -> 11:19 AM) Based on the last 5 seasons! BTW, if that's the case, how could you say Peavy, Halliday, Santana, Prior, Zambrano are even as good as Buehrle? They have had 1, maybe 2 good years each. Im sorry, do you even watch baseball?
