IlliniKrush Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Oct 13, 2014 -> 11:40 AM) I found both WSI and this board in 2003 but when I first started posting I was mostly on WSI. But between the Mods just being complete assholes there, the minor league coverage here and just the people in general, I switched over here and completely stopped posting there within the year.

almagest Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I lurked here for a long time (and WSI, but ehhhhhhhhhh) before creating an account, so I remember Ncorgbl. He was the one who used to call Bartolo Colon "tub of goo", and treat it like it was the best insult ever, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand why either, Colon was a good pitcher for the Sox his first go around, and they got him for essentially nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have no idea how that team, with all the talent, didn't go anywhere. I remember Colon was just filthy down the stretch that year.

I remember we had a lead going into the Metrodome and they straight up swept us. Â We had 3 of the best starters in the AL that year and somehow ended up not making the playoffs. Had we actually made the playoffs, I think we could have made a nice run. But you could have said that about 2003, 2006, 2010, etc. In other words, f*** the Twins.

Billy Koch: -0.4 WAR, -0.98 WPA Keith Foulke: 1.8 WAR, 3.98 WPA Sox lost the division by four games and that's one of the easiest reasons to point to. Â I remember Colon had a complete game 2-hitter, allowing two solo HR's, and we lost 2-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peaked at 19%, has dropped to just over 8% today. On opening day, 3 teams had 0 African American players. 2 of them are in the NLCS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, I'm pretty sure that was 04.  Anyways that 03 team after they traded for Robbie and Carl was so damn talented and nothing. The offense was loaded, we had 3 of the best starting pitchers in the league and Damaso/Flash were absolutely unhittable aaaaand nothing. If it wasn't for 05 I'd still be super, super pissed about 03. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
