Intimidated more like it.. Facts are facts. Can't hide from them.. and they prove you are FOS.

No way. Neal knows I love 'em...

Far away NOW. Gone to a rehab assingment. Perhaps you should not ASSume??

He did... where?

Where did I say we should get rid of him?? Show me that and your post might have some merit..

Where did I say that? Yes, please show me where. I specifically said THIS YEAR in several of my posts.

"whether he struggled...." ? "Noone should say a damn thing...."? Oh please...

Where will you be seated? 159 row 1 seats 13 to 16.

I know you're just mad cause CLee was winkin' at me Saturday and you know it!

I will definitely be there - might have 2 extra tickets too. Michelle... Tailgate...?

We should be so lucky to have a few "dirtbags" like him on this team ...

thankyou for the pleasant welcome...though I beg to differ on Koch Well duh!! And thanks for the meatloaf tip in the AC thread!

Well.. we know for a fact that's how a couple of the posters here are able to communicate. Oakland mgmt must have to wear depends every time Koch takes the mound or when they hear about his arm issue.

Koch is still one of the best closers in the league and anyone who disagrees is stupid.. Other than that.. not too much. Welcome back.

Oh Tex.. you're so stupid and you don't know anything about baseball....

You forgot Danny Patterson, Byung-Hyun Kim, Jorge Julio, Francisco Cordero, Troy Percival, Joe Borowski, Mike Dejean, Mike Williams, Jose Mesa, Braden Looper, and Rod Beck. Unless, he gets his 99 mph heater back.................NOT! Thank you. Point... THIS year Koch BLOWS.. and he should stay in Charlotte as long as necessary.. for the rest of the season if necessary. Because THIS YEAR he sucks!

Best closers.. eh?? Here's just a few better than Koch this year.. IMO of course. Eric Gagne, John Smoltz, Keith Foulke, Billy Wagner, Rocky Biddle, Mariano Rivera, Tim Worrell, Urbina, Guarado, Armando Benitez, Lance Carter, Mike MacDougal, Danny Baez, Scott Williamson. I'd take ANY of them over Koch THIS year.

So I see you didn't want to elaborate.. Koch has OPENLY admitted he's sucked this year. Hw should have been rehabing in June - when the pain in his elblw started. For not doing so.. he is SELFISH! And if you want to sit there and say Koch has been a better closer than Keith - or 10 other closers - this year.. then someone sure is stupid.. and it's not me.

You had the wrong speed.. And actually initially it was the top 5. He's not in the top 5.

You all aren't much fun today.. here's the answers. "100 MPH Club" In Order by Fastest Observed Speed Pitcher Radar Speed Date Location Mark Wohlers 103.0 mph 1995 Spring Training Armando Benitez 102.0 mph 2002 Shea Stadium Randy Johnson 102.0 mph 2002 Bank One Ballpark Robb Nen 102.0 mph 10-23-1997 Pro Player Park Rob Dibble 101.0 mph 1992 Candlestick Park Kyle Farnsworth 101.0 mph 2001 Wrigley FIeld Jose Mesa 101.0 mph 1993 Cleveland Stadium Guillermo Mota 101.0 mph 07-24-2002 Dodger Stadium Billy Wagner 101.0 mph 06-11-2003 Yankee Stadium Nolan Ryan 100.9 mph 08-20-1974 Anaheim Stadium J.R.

Yes to Randy and Rob Dibble. No to JR Richard.

Nope. Let's forget the speed and just go for the names now.. So far just 1 and that's Armando. He is #2 on the list

No, no, no, and no.

Paul should have been on a bench 50% MORE than he has been. Care to elaborate on your logic here...?

Yeah.. and it's real logical to keep around a closer with a bum arm, right?
