Think about the younger people, too. Some of the sox biggest fans are in their teens. They don't have money.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 1, 2007 -> 08:33 PM) And don't put words in my mouth and claim I said there weren't more than 12K TRUE fans. There are many more. They just don't put their money where their mouth is. They watch from home. Then... they come out when the team wins. Jeez, that's a bit harsh. Not everyone has enough money to even make that a decision.

Sending Danks down would be absolutely retarded. I think you are forgetting about the 3-4 games that the bullpen blew his wins in and the fact that we are out of the race. He might as well learn here if he were doing poorly, which any avid fan can see he is not.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 1, 2007 -> 11:58 AM) "AJ Pierzynski and Scott 'Pods' Podsednik accidentally get caught in a pose that seems to resemble doggy style sex" A little on the nose there, no?

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 1, 2007 -> 03:37 PM) Fitting, since Ozzie only nominated Jenks, Buehrle and Javier as our potential All-Stars. Javier? Are you serious? I guess he is quietly having a good year but he is no where near an all star

QUOTE(bulokis @ Jun 29, 2007 -> 10:06 PM) Win 40!!! Twins, Indians and Tigers need to lose 40 also then we are definitely going to the playoffs. Eh . . .

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jun 29, 2007 -> 07:43 PM) What was up with the Uribe RBI groundout to the pitcher? Was it a bunt? Softly hit, off his glove.

Nice play, sort of.

Whoever is scoring this game for wciu is starting to piss me off Are they even watching the f***ing game?

No one cares about this game I take it?

At this point, I'll be happy so long as this team wins more games than it loses. Losing seasons are for the north side.

Dear god . . .

QUOTE(Omar Minaya @ Jun 26, 2007 -> 03:11 AM) what in god's name are you babbling about. the only thing i talked about in this thread was the fact that lastings milledge is worth more than compensatory draft picks. i never said anything about buerhle; i didn't say anything about his trade value (by the way, the white sox would trade him for milledge), i didn't say that there weren't advantages to keeping him around, etc. etc. etc. i can't believe you refuse to address the only point i've tried making. you keep on babbling about all sorts of retarded s*** that is just completely irrelevant to my argument. me: "lastings milledge has more value than 2 compensatory draft picks" you: MARK CAN TEACH DANKS HOW TO BE GOOD PITCHER!!!!! AND HE CAN MAKE ME FEEL GOOD AND HAPPY BECAUSE ME LIKE SEEING HIM PITCH GOOD NICE! me: "you're an idiot. i can't believe you're a moderator. you're incredibly stupid." you: YOU'RE A MET FAN WHY YOU HERE BEING MEAN I LIKE BUERHLE HAHA METS PITCHING NO GOOD WHITE SOX 4LIFE. Setting up and trolling with annoying strawman arguments like this should be reason enough to be banned.

You ever wonder why they have the draft during the season as opposed to the off season? I do

Did you steal them all or something?

I wouldn't have any confidence in shilling's health at this point of his career.

He blew every chance in the world during spring training. They will do it again though, you are right about that.

He is one of the only reasons I still watch games at this point in the season. I like him, and understand that not every at bat is going to go his way.

QUOTE(spiderman @ Jun 24, 2007 -> 10:33 PM) I think Gavin Floyd should have some success in the majors before we consider his spot in the rotation secure. but he is two games over 500

Looking at the awful spellings of his name is pretty entertaining too. I can't spell it either, but at least I am close.

Why would I blame someone in the organization? I want him traded to replenish our minor league system's talent. He will be way over paid. Blame the giants, I guess?

Because our team is a piece of f***ing s***?

QUOTE(Omar Minaya @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 12:28 AM) in philosophy, that is what we call a false dilemma. "either the mets trade for buerhle or they don't go to the World Series" now, I don't know if you watched the play-offs at all, having failed to make it, but the Mets problem wasn't pitching, it was their offense. and considering the way jeff weaver, jeff suppan and anthony reyes pitched in the play-offs, it seems to me that having quality pitching isn't nearly as important as having hot pitching. Its just my opinion, I am not trying to present false dilemmas as fact or insert logical fallacies into some kind of internet argument. It might not have been their biggest problem, but it could have been a strength, which it definitely won't be and wasn't last year. The other team can't win when they don't score. Mark is a big game pitcher. . . . and of course I watched the playoffs. I won a few thousand dollars off of your team's loss.

They might have some guys pitching well for them right now, but it won't last. It won't be reliable. Someone who wants to win -this year- will pay.

The mets would be wise to deal with Williams. The alternative is another year without a pennant. Pitching wins championships. That is rhetoric, as I have no stats, but I believe it to be the truth. Mets fans can look forward watching to what happened to them last year again.
