March 9, 200422 yr Author Again I can't claim ownership of this one, but it was too funny not to post. No picture is safe from NFL-Fans.
March 9, 200422 yr Serves that free spending Anaheim owner Arte Moreno right for mindlessly throwing his money around on the likes of that apathetic, lazy fat tub of lard and on that Vlad character as well. Here's hoping that the Angels finish in last place. You are kidding.. right? Had the Sox paid him would you be saying the same thing about our ownership..? 242 innings pitched... keep that in mind.
March 9, 200422 yr Something else regarding Bart last year... His park-adjusted ERA last season was 16% better than the league average, and only Roy Halladay threw more innings. I think that's an impressive performace. Andy Pettitte won 21 games for the Yankees while performing just 9% better than the league average. With good run support, Colon would have won 20 games easily and very few fans would say their team couldn't use a 20-game winner. No matter what the cost...
March 10, 200422 yr Steff, there is no doubt that Bartolo was a valueable asset to the Sox last year. Regardless of what some other notoriously infamous anti-Bartolo posters may think. But there is no need in dwelling on those 242 innings pitched. Someone will pitch them for the Sox this year.
March 10, 200422 yr You are kidding.. right? Had the Sox paid him would you be saying the same thing about our ownership..? 242 innings pitched... keep that in mind. Steff: I did not want the Sox to re-sign Fat Pig Colon. He is only a .500 pitcher and if we have to have a 242 inning pitcher, it should be a guy with both a better attitude and a better W-L record than 15-13. As for the Sox spending money, I want it to be spent wisely and not give out big contracts like that Arte Moreno moron did just for the sake of making a big splash. YASNY: Since when is a pitcher who only goes 15-13 a "valuable asset"?
March 10, 200422 yr Obviously, we have a difference of opinion. Colon did not perform up to expectations last year, but he was the rock of the rotation down the stretch and those 242 IP also account for the "valueable asset" comment.

I would prefer it not be 3 different guys though...

May 21, 200421 yr Colon Update: 4.96 ERA, getting beat by the Yankees tonight 4-0 in the 4th... Raise your hand if you're glad we didn't resign him...
May 21, 200421 yr Colon Update: 4.96 ERA, getting beat by the Yankees tonight 4-0 in the 4th... Raise your hand if you're glad we didn't resign him... Even Jeter hit a homer off him. Only gettin up to 92 MPH on his fastball.
May 21, 200421 yr I'm glad we didn't get him to even sign the papers on the 4 year/$36M now. Colon really seemed to let himself go now that he has a guaranteed contract.
May 21, 200421 yr Cotts I have faith in. Watch him pitch a gem on Saturday.. That sounds awesome. I think the time in the bullpen will really be beneficial for him.
May 21, 200421 yr Looks like KW's cheap manuevering of Garland and Show to step up this year and be solid in the 3 and 4 holes has worked out so far....Let's hope it keeps up. As for Bartolo... :puke See ya El Goo
May 21, 200421 yr Cotts I have faith in. Watch him pitch a gem on Saturday.. That'll be pretty hard: Cotts will probably only pitch a few innings, because he is not accustomed to a high pitch count. He said he will approach this start like any relief appearance. "I'm just going to pitch like I've been pitching," said Cotts, who is 0-1 with a 2.45 ERA this season. "I've been successful so far, so I'll stick with it and see how it goes."
May 21, 200421 yr Raise your hand if you're glad we didn't resign him... Old news, could have (and did) told you that months ago.
May 21, 200421 yr Old news, could have (and did) told you that months ago. I think you have a disorder that makes you want to get the last word in everytime, maybe you should get treatment for it.
May 21, 200421 yr I think you have a disorder that makes you want to get the last word in everytime, maybe you should get treatment for it. Maybe.
May 21, 200421 yr Colon freaking sucks. Man was he awful tonight. Thank god Ortiz came in and I could finally see someone decent pitch for the Angels. Speaking of which, I think Ortiz is on the verge of figuring it out and wouldn't be a bad pick up for the Sox. Also note that the Angels are screwed with Colon's contract. I reitirate that I can't blame JR for not giving him 4 yr 48.

It'll be interestin to see what they with Colon if he continues to struggle.

May 21, 200421 yr Also note that the Angels are screwed with Colon's contract. I reitirate that I can't blame JR for not giving him 4 yr 48. Yea, even the offer JR proposed was a bit much when I think back to it.
