  1. QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 02:08 PM) Ive never understood people's embarrassmennt over taking a loud dump or farting in a public restroom. I mean, that's the proper place to do it, right? Oh man, if Im in a public rest room taking a dump, I try and make sure my farts are as loud as possible.
  2. I thought you had to wait a certain amount of time before you are able to send someone down right after calling them up
  3. Luke Scott would make too much sense, wouldn't he?
  4. QUOTE (TitoMB @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 09:28 PM) f*** the Sox for continuing to use BP as a sponsor.. really pisses me off. Hey, we got the BP cup!
  5. QUOTE (Real @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 09:20 PM) Lillibridge would go back to Charlotte, and Kotsay would probably be released or traded. Stop it with the f***ing Kotsay love, the dude is GARBAGE. They even had a f***ing bat-burning ceremony to basically say, Ok. Let's try this crazy ass s*** to maybe help you suck less. No one said Kotsay doesn't suck, fathom just said he'd take Kotsay over Figgins. And if I had to choose between Figgins and Lillibridge right now, I'd choose Lillibridge. The only way I wouldn't is if the Mariners took on so much of Figgins contract that we weren't paying him more then 2 million per year for the next 3 years.
  6. QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 09:25 PM) You just described Teahen I know, unfortunately.
  7. QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 09:22 PM) For someone with a near 5 ERA, I like Tony a lot. I cringe everytime he comes out. He's a dumb pitcher, and when he's bad, he's real bad. And its just really frustrating with the stuff he has... but good work tonight!
  8. QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 09:16 PM) We better not trade Viciedo. I really think he'd be a productive DH w/out even trading for one. The guy can hit. Problem is he's gonna make a lot of outs cause he'll never walk. I'll be sick if we deal him. f*** the DH idea, I still think he can turn into at least a serviceable 3B. He's got a gun of an arm that I'd hate to see wasted at 1B or DH, and he is athletic for a big guy. His hands need work though, but if he works hard and religiously in the offseason, I think they can be improved. Its easier to fix a 3B with hands problems then it is to fix a 3B with slow reflexes or inconsistent throws.
  9. QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 09:17 PM) that's exactly what Rizzo wants from a team. To have them walking away head down and tail in between their legs. Like Rizzo has said, Dunn is too important to the fans,players, and staff in Washington. Rizzo loves to draft and i think he is fine with the picks if Dunn does walk. And when Rizzo demands that, that is when you say get real and stop wasting my time and hang up the phone.
  10. QUOTE (Real @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 09:13 PM) Ok, so we have a Kotsay is better than Figgins post, and now a f***ing Brent Lillibridge is better post Any other gems somebody wants to throw out? I think it's funny that people think Chone Figgins is as bad as his numbers are showing. I also think it's funny that you guys are dismissing the chance that Seattle would pick up parts of that contract. Figgins > Pierre, Lillibridge, Kotsay, gmafb. I hate to sound like Hawk, but where would he play? Also, yeah, Figgins is terrible this year. And considering the amount of money he is owed over the next 3 years, he ain't worth the risk, especially for someone who would only be a utility backup player for us, like Lillibridge currently is. Talk to me when the Mariners are willing to pay over half of the almost 30 million or so he is owed for the next 3 years. Otherwise, GMFAB.
  11. QUOTE (WCSox @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 09:05 PM) I don't think that Kenny would've traded for Jackson if he wasn't prepared to be stuck with him. Lets hope that is the case or otherwise KW is an incompetent GM who needs to be fired this instant. If you are going to make a 3 way trade, you better make it all at the same time and not give another team a chance to back out.
  12. QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 09:07 PM) Call me crazy, but i'm seeing tonights game as showcase game for the Nats. Rizzo made it clear Huddy wasn't what they were looking for (with him and Strasburg having injury prone wind ups). I could see KW saying pick any minor leaguer you have interest in and well show case him for you Friday. With Viciedo playing (yes I know against a lefty) and Santos coming in last inning to start the inning against a lefty with Threets warming. I could see a Viciedo 1B, Morel 2B (Guzman was traded), Harrel, D2, and/or Santos for Dunn with us keeping EJax. Sale moves into the bullpen in a few weeks. Granted this would be based on Dunn signing an extension. It's slot but we know Rizzo wants a lot. For me Viciedo is UNTOUCHABLE the tank is legit That would be ass rape by Rizzo and the Nats.
  13. There would be absolutely no need for Figgins with Lillibridge on the team, unless KW and Ozzie felt like we needed more black people on the team. Lillibridge does basically everything we would ask of Figgins, except Lillibridge is actually hitting this year and is immensely cheaper.
  14. QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 09:01 PM) His OBP is also .322, unfortunately. But has only 6 strikeouts in almost 60 AB's, and if you aren't gonna walk a ton, at least he won't K a ton either. Besides, considering he is still only 21, there is hope he will grow more plate discipline as pitchers start to pitch around him more.
  15. If I had to choose who to keep between Viciedo and Beckham, I would pick Viciedo everyday and twice on sunday. As long as he stays focused on rightfield and doesn't get pull happy, all signs point to him becoming a great hitter, IMO.
  16. QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 07:26 PM) Oswalt would have declined a trade. Yep, forgot that he came out and said he wouldn't go to the white sox. But it can't all be on Ozzie, can it?
  17. Apparently the Yankees didn't give up much and are getting a nice size of cash back... I'm not surprised Berkman rejected the trade to come here, it took Peavy 2 times to accept it, and everyone else seems to reject any trade to come here and play for us. I'm not buying Ozzie as the reason for players rejecting trades here, but for s***s and giggles, who do we know of that has rejected trades here since Ozzie has been manager? Larry Walker, Carlos Delgado, Jim Edmonds, Jake Peavy (you can exclude him if you want since he eventually was willing to come here), and now Lance Berkman? Who else has there been, I know I must be missing a couple.
  18. QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 04:36 PM) You aren't paying him that now though. You're paying him roughly $1.3 million more this season than you would have paid Hudson. Balta pretty much summed it up. Even if you do trade him, then you still need to sign a 5th starter.
  19. QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 04:35 PM) Ugh, hearing that Yanks won't give up any premium prospects to get Berkman really frustrates me. The only problem is that I have a feeling Berkman would have rejected a trade to us, especially if it were between us and the Yankees. But then again, I have a feeling KW never was planning on going after Berkman anyway.
  20. QUOTE (Real @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 04:30 PM) If TB is serious about Dunn, start uncrossing your fingers and hoping for Luke Scott Didnt you hear, the Tigers and us are in discussion with the Tigers for Brad freaking Hawpe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  21. QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 04:30 PM) Just one small distinction here...Jackson will only be making $1.5 million here for the remainder of THIS season. I don't think it's quite fair to be counting his salary for next season just yet... Until we are off the hook for it, it still counts. Just like Linebrink's salary.
  22. QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 04:28 PM) I think that Jackson could be exponentially better than Hudson. There is a reason why the Sox made the deal, and its not because they are in the business of overpaying for players who arent as good. My guess is that Coop soured on Hudson, while at the same time he likes Jackson. Could be a case of the grass is always greener, but I just dont have a lot of faith in Hudson. He may prove me wrong, but it wouldnt surprise me if the guy never is a major league starter either. And that would just be a dumbass way of approaching things. If you want to take on Jackson as a project, you wait until the offseason, when you have time to work with him. Not in the middle of a playoff run where he offers just as many question marks as the guy you traded.
  23. How did we make room for Harrell on the roster? Is the Huddy for Jackson deal still not official and we took Huddy off of the 25?
  24. QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 04:18 PM) It is now 4:18 PM. And I still hate this f***ing trade. Makes me want to go post in that thread you made the other day, but I'll give it until the deadline to see what happens.
  25. QUOTE (The Beast @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 04:13 PM) I'm sure that Hudson would produce much better results against the Yankees. No one knows... but what we do know for a fact is that Hudson would do at 1/15th of the cost.
