That is absolute BS!

QUOTE(Shadows @ Feb 5, 2008 -> 10:51 PM) Preach! Its hilarious the only people who hate all this are the Bears fans and the lone Bills fan, what a shock Balta's a Bills fan too, so suck me And I have nothing against the '72 Dolphins. Oustanding team, outstanding story, but not in my mind the best team of all time. If you have a right to your opinion, I have a right to mine, and I'll hate the Dolphins all I want to. I also really hate Mercury Morris; I'm so sick and tired of people talking to him. If he didn't come out and talk about how "cool the '72 Dolphins are" nobody would hate them, and would instead love and respect them. But because he's a cocky douche about it, people hate him, hate the Dolphins, and the '72 Dolphins don't get the respect they deserve. QUOTE(Shadows @ Feb 6, 2008 -> 01:05 AM) Point being, the 72' Phins did what they did with their back up QB for the majority of the year Patriots aren't even a playoff team if Brady doesn't play this season You have to be drunk if you are making a statement like that. Put down the bottle, wake up in the morning, and read what you said. They wouldn't have gone 18-0, but they would have made the playoffs, and there's no doubt in my mind. They'd have picked up Vinny Testaverde or Brad Johnson or some other backup QB and they would have been just fine, even if Matt Cassel sucked. Hell, maybe even Drew Bledsoe, who knows. That's about the most ridiculous statement I've seen made in a long time on here.

major league is easily the best baseball movie of all time. And it's so quotable too and so few people realize it. I always say "you're screwed Vaughn" and no one ever catches on

QUOTE(Soxpranos @ Feb 5, 2008 -> 08:10 PM) He is an individual that was on the greatest team in sports history. NO NO NONONONONONONO my ears are bleeding from just reading that Mercury Morris is one of the few mouths on earth that I would be completely for sewing shut.

QUOTE(sircaffey @ Feb 5, 2008 -> 03:55 PM) Danks also gave up 28 HR in 139 IP (16 on the road). Lowry, historically, hasn't given up many HR anywhere he's pitched. Not saying he's better (not saying he's worse either), just pointing out that Danks is no lock to ever be successful if he can't get the ball down more often. Danks' last 3 stops in the minors (AA & AAA in '05/'06) he had WHIPs of 1.54, 1.38, 1.43 compared to his 1.55 WHIP last season. Personally, I'd take Lowry next season over Danks, but I'd prefer to get Danks the experience. Danks also gave up 12 of those in 50 innings in the second half; that's not excusing it, but it's not like it's uncommon to see a young pitcher who is fatigued later in the year get tired and leave the ball up quite a few times, especially guys who don't throw it 95+. Danks also pitched in the AL Central, where two teams averaged 5 runs a game (and two others average just under 4.5), whereas in the NL West only Colorado averaged more than 5 and San Diego, LA, and Arizona all averaged like 4.5 runs or less. And let's not act as if Lowry doesn't give up homers; 21 in 2006 in 160 innings is quite a bit, and he would give up more than that moving from AT&T to USCF. He was better last year, but I've seen no evidence that suggests he will be able to keep it down at 0.7 HR/9 throughout the year next year. If you can make it some sort of 3 way deal where the Sox deal Crede to the Giants, Lowry goes to another NL team, and the Sox pick up some decent prospect or two, then it's a good deal; otherwise, I really don't understand the point, because I'm not sure Lowry would pitch better than either Floyd or Danks, and he wouldn't be happy being relegated to bullpen work.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Feb 5, 2008 -> 02:13 PM) For those who think Lowry would not be enough for Crede, i honestly feel we'd be lucky to get him. The guy's only 27, and has a career 4.03 era with 3/4 years being under 4. In the AL he'd be capable of a 4.5 or better, and he'd be great insurance in case Danks/Contreas/Floyd falter... and something has to be said for the fact that he was 14-8 on a team that gave Matt Cain a 7-16 record He's also only thrown 200 innings one time in 3 full seasons at the major league level, and put up a 1.55 WHIP last year; John Danks had a 1.54 WHIP last year and an ERA of 5.50. I have no reason to believe that Lowry would put up an ERA below 5.00 in the Cell, so until I saw it, I won't even think about believing it. Yes, the Sox would be lucky to have him, but I really don't think he does anything for the Sox except take away MLB experience from Danks and Floyd.

willie!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!1!1!!!!11!!!11!1!1!!

QUOTE(soxfan3530 @ Feb 5, 2008 -> 01:22 PM) Hey sorry to do this but is there any updated news on crede to the giants. it seems like the thread has turned to upcoming free agents and i dont feel like reading through the whole thing. thanks in advance! no not really

I still think the 07 Patriots are one of the top 3 teams of all time. Just because they lost in the Super Bowl and went 18-1 doesn't mean you can discredit their 18-0 stretch and the fact that they had the most dynamic offense of all time.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Feb 5, 2008 -> 07:28 AM) Bobby is an interesting character. On one hand you have to admire and respect the effort he put not only into basketball, but turning his boys into men. You never, ever heard about scandals or problems from ANY of his players, even after they left his programs. On the other hand, his methods left something to be desired. Either way he leaves as one of the all-time greats. Isiah Thomas is kind of a scumbag

QUOTE(joesaiditstrue @ Feb 5, 2008 -> 09:39 AM) batting average is a very important number for a hitter that plays half his games in arguably the best hitters park in baseball i'd say it's the most important offensive number given that he'll be playing in the cell most of the time That would be OPS, not average.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Feb 5, 2008 -> 12:14 AM) Have you tried said foods in nugget form? lol

I thought my 145 was light. I have been outdone by 20 pounds by Heads.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 4, 2008 -> 08:39 PM) And between my knees and my lungs, the 4k run would be a looooooong way. well the solution to this problem is to obviously quit smoking cigarettes with your knees

Reading about this Mexican food is going to give me the schlitz. I would still kill for a good burrito right about now. I may have to hit up the Mexican restaurant in town here some time this week.

I'd give someone my yahoo for about an hour for $20

QUOTE(scenario @ Feb 3, 2008 -> 08:48 PM) Why is Cleveland "the team to beat"? Because they had a great year in '07? They had ALOT of things go right for them this year. For example: How many of their players had career best years... or played waaaay above their career averages? Pretty much everyone offensively except Hafner... and their entire bullpen... and two of their starters. I think they're in for a BIG letdown if they're expecting repeat career best performances from almost everyone on the team. Name the players who had career years. Carmona came out of nowhere, but I really don't think they had that many players play over their head.

You knew watching the Giants last drive that this was fate. Eli surviving the sack, Tyree somehow coming up with that ball, and Samuel not intercepting that pass (how does he not pick that off right there?). Not kicking the field goal looks real, realy dumb right now; I didn't understand that at all when it happened, and I still don't understand it.

Moss has to go get that ball

QUOTE(Shadows @ Feb 3, 2008 -> 07:17 PM) I wish I was there for you to say that to me so when I put my hand in the air and you put yours I could shaft tap you and then laugh as you fell to the ground I'm going to say that won't happen

QUOTE(haroldbainesknees @ Feb 2, 2008 -> 09:23 AM) Reading this at first I thought Kenny re-acquired Mackowiak. zinger

I'm sure it is, but it's just funny this deal is done too, and will probably be announced later tonight. He passed the turning his head and coughing portion of the exam.

QUOTE(Hawkfan @ Feb 2, 2008 -> 02:49 PM) I excited about his talent as well, but I'm waiting til spring to pass judgment on whos starting. Owens deserves a shot just as much if not more than quentin. How does he deserve a shot more than Quentin?

QUOTE(rockren @ Feb 2, 2008 -> 01:06 AM) While I don't think Balt meant 1-2 million to be EXACTLY 1-2 million, it still isn't a lot of money to the Mets in this case. The Mets knew they were going to take it in the ear in these negotiations and didn't care. It's still probable that they sign Lohse to a contract near 10 million a year. I love taking it in the ear

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Feb 2, 2008 -> 10:09 AM) Vizcaino is, I think, unfaily maligned. He was a solid arm for us altogether. from June and beyond he was a stud...ERA of 2.33 in 46.1 innings.
