I am...I am positive that Koch will be closing in August sometime. And I'm not saying thats a bad thing, hell I like the guy. I'm not trying to be grim, just honest. I'll have no problem with Koch in there as closer, cause hopefully Coop can figure out what the problem is, he's been outstanding with our other pitchers.

Again, no one is gonna take Koch in a trade, and like I mentioned, JR doesnt pay 5 mil for just another bullpen arm. Gordon will unfortunately blow one sometime soon, then everyone will be jumping off the Gordon bandwagon. His numbers themselves say he has blown 4 out of 9 opportunities. Koch has blown 4 out of 15. Tell me again how those numbers say Gordon is better? Right now, yes, he is throwing better. BUt it won't last all season. ANd then, Koch will step in.

Not a chance my friend...JR doesn't pay someone $5 mil to be a mop up pitcher...He'll be closing again by mid August.

Which backs up my point. I can't argue on the subject of umpires, but Bartolo Colon has good enough stuff to where he doesnt have to try and eat away at the corners, most of the guys in that Detroit lineup couldnt touch his high heat, so why not use it.

He's not pitching like Bartolo Colon...the colon i know goes after hitters, challenges them with heat that they cant catch up to. The Bartolo COlon I see this year is going after corners, throwing 90 mph, and that COlon is getting lit up.

It just doesnt appear that he is pitching like he wants to be here anyways. Is another year gonna change that? The guy just appears not to try.

CLee and Colon traded? I'll be the first one to celebrate that day. CLee is getting better, but if you all want to see some of these "great" guys we have in the minors, LF is where they are gonna have to play.

I'm not hating. I'm just pointing out that anyone who thinks that TG is gonna maintain his 5-7 pace over the past week is sorely mislead. I appreciate what he has done. But to bench, R Alomar, PK, Thomas, or Daubach.... just to play TG everyday..... is ludicrous. I wouldnt want him starting over any of those people, but over Crede and Valentin once a week for each, hell yeah. Those two are about as consistent as TG anyways...they are both hitting under 250. Whats the love affair with Crede and JosE6?

I whole-heartedly agree, I DO NOT want TG in there everyday...but until he proves he isn't hitting, play him at 3B or SS, the positions we arent getting any production consistently out of.

--gonna stray from the norm here--- David Hasselhoff drove a car named KITT

no he's not....good try though

Just funning ya, Heather

or even Giants pitcher Jason Schmidt

Here Heather...just for you...

No f***ing way I agree with that,,,Manuel is gonna tinker...and except for a couple games in this past series, Joe Crede ain't done s***, quote me on that

I agree Now i'm just having fun with images

Oh, I have a foul mouth, but I vowed to only bring it out when necessary.....as for Heather accusations...that can't be an entirely bad thing

HOLY COW........ f*** i dont believe i just said that s***......... former A's pitcher Bobby Witt

Holy s***burgers....hsc is lethal with the language

Mets manager Art Howe (can ya tell hsc that all my words are gonna be baseball related)

Yes, he is not full-time player...but while he's hot, you have to play him over Crede or JosE6
