i love the fact that this has turned into b****talk and ive taken part... im not taking a side right here, im just saying we (myself included) are being quite the barrel of b****es this afternoon. wow a hush falls over the crowd.... check this out to break the silence: dredg - bug eyes good song IMHO

screw everyone, lets blow the world up

QUOTE(WSFAN35 @ Jan 21, 2005 -> 05:57 PM) Prior accomplishments? in 2001 he hit 30 HR stole 44 bases and hit above .260 - not outstanding, but good his last 2 years have been carrer years in most aspects.... im just saying hes worth a chance

QUOTE(WSFAN35 @ Jan 21, 2005 -> 05:47 PM) This guy has had exactly two good years in the Japanese league. I believe he went 1-19 against major league pitchers in the Japan vs. MLB classic. didnt robin ventura hit something like 0 for his first 40+ MLB atbats? just because he didnt have sucess in such a small sample size (19 at bats) dosent mean you dont give him a look and seriously consider his prior accomplishments.... even more so if your scouts are saying he could hack it in the leauge

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jan 21, 2005 -> 05:48 PM) Well you can't blame KW for that. If we sign Iguchi, I don't want to hear anything about KW not getting it done this time around. If we get him, KW's done absolutely everything he intended on doing this offseason. if KW dosent sign iguchi, i give him an A for this offseason if KW does sign iguchi, i give him an A for this offseason kenny has done a great job this year, and iguchi would be a little icing on the cake that could pan out to be a cherry.

QUOTE(WSFAN35 @ Jan 21, 2005 -> 05:38 PM) How many of you are going to be b****ing about this guy when he sucks at fielding on grass, and he can't hit major league pitching? if that happens, i wont blam iguchi one bit... for a guy that has the kind of talent and potential he does... you put 6 mill on the line... i mean, s***... we gave borchard 5 million... borchard hasnt had anywhere near the success that iguchi has... i like the risk/reward factor and for a 3 mil per year loss (at most) you take it.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 21, 2005 -> 05:35 PM) Don't you think it is a little early to be drinking? no... however, i am sober right now... just in a strange mood, as always

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jan 21, 2005 -> 05:35 PM) What are you, 10? That's stupid. sadly, im a 22 year old grown man reading and posting on an internet msg board at 9:30am.... since your new, ill give you the lowdown... im a drunk asshole piece of s*** moron, so go ahead and inslut me, since i am indeed... a f*** faced retard that really should be shot to death in the rectum. im just a weeeeee bit odd, thats all... and i enjoy it... if you dont, sorry... didnt mean to offend anyone, aside from myself... and i did a damn good job, im f***in pissed off at me, can you imagine someone calling you a drunk asshole piece of s*** moron and a f*** faced retard that should be shot to death in the recturm.... wow

we win we win... w00t! just posted on www.chisox.com we got him sorry, that was cold i was lying but thats what will happen... daniel son, wax on... wax off... we win... win off... what the f*** is this guy talking about?

we dont need this BUM joke sweet news, this will get done... im fully confident JR said durring soxfest that getting Iguchi is now a 50/50 chance... i think that 50% chance of us signing him depended on his agent submitting an offer like this one... hence, we win. sweet

ah i see

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 21, 2005 -> 06:29 AM) I know my comment wasn't a slam at you or your friend. I was merely trying to put some perspective on things. I apologize if it came across in the wrong way. i think i was just in a bit of a bad mood and took something the wrong way, wasnt anything u said... wasnt anything to take the wrong way, just me being stupid once again =D

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jan 21, 2005 -> 06:23 AM) Bull...its great hearing your insite on Bmac. Heck, who knows more about pitchers then other pitchers. Were all pulling for ya to make Charlotte this season and who knows, maybe a September callup could be in order On a sidenote, you looking forward to potentially re-joining the rotation? what in sam hell are you talking about?

yeah, eek, screw em

ive know cantu my entire life, hes a hard nosed talented ball player that CAN hit... however, he has had 5 count em, 5 surgerys (1 on his left shoulder and 4 on his right shoulder)... he's not a hitting machine but the guy knows what he is doing.... why not take it as him complamenting bmac instead of cantu sayin "i cant hit" because thats what it was intended as. im just tellin you all what i was told, dont hang the messenger.... bow to him and kiss his feet after giving him a nice foot massage.... on the other hand, i dont think id want any of you touching my feet...

QUOTE(Man Of Steel @ Jan 20, 2005 -> 09:43 PM) If your friend KNOWS he does this why does he just not? haha.. seems funny to me, you would think that if you know you do that stuff you would be able to fix that that was just one example of an at bat... cantu was trying to tell me that bmac studys hitters relentlessly and uses his mind a lot for the battle.... so that was just an example of his first at bat in a game... so next at bat bmac would say something like, "ok, i threw him up and in for strike one on a fastball, so now ill give him a curve low and in since he grounded out on one out of the zone last at bat. i can get a fast out or strike one with that pitch of this guy." my friend seemed to empasise that he uses his mind a lot and prepares like crazy... that he has good stuff, just nothing like clemens or johnson amazing... just kind of average... and a 89 - 93 fastball is average.

i was at a local dive today when i ran into an old baseball friend of mine... we used to play high school ball together... turns out he is in the AA st. louis system and i asked him about mcarthy... he said, "average fastball, average curveball, average change, average everything except this.." and he pointed to his head... "the guy just studys the hell out of every player he will face, thats how he is a work horse. in my 3 years in the minors ive gotten one hit of him. he knows i will swing at a fastball out of the zone on the first pitch. he knows i will look at a curve ball on the second pitch for a strike. and he knows i will swing at a low and away curve to either ground out or stike out. the guy got a $500,000 contract for a reason." looks like my friend, timmy cantu... really has high thoughts of brandon and said that once he gets his time in the bigs, that he will do everything he can to suceed, and will. i put this in the pale hose fourm because i thought it needed the exposer it would get here, in contrast to the futures board.

last i recall, everytime one of these "around the horn" artilces pops up, about a week later... we signed a player that fit the catagory the article focused on see: around the horn starting pitchers (then we signed el duke) see: around the horn catchers (then we signed AJ) hummm

hes gonna be in a hot dog commercial soon, youll see him then

i be pimped now, sweet gracsis el pimper-eion
