Daily thread : who's crying now..

Mike Hampton....

If he were to pitch for anyone, it should be the Rockies. He owes them a bunch of production still for the $$ they gave him.


Does anyone else remember the reason he signed with them? According to him, it was not about the obscene amount of $$, but all about the school system there, for his kids.

Riiiiiight......

And, related, I would have been back sooner, if I had known that the riff raff got cleaned out.

When things are good and stable we can start getting the word out and getting more posters in here.

 

[obxyankeefan]

What about John Garland or Mark Prior? And no, they're not in the Padres system.

Anymore.

Nothing left the Yankees gave him a try out last year or the year before and he couldn't make the AAA team. Sad because he could have been great.



WTF is going on with Verlander? Twins have 6 runs and 10 hits and only in the 4th inning.

 

[redseat]

OBP .415 for Boggs didn't know that... Impressive. Yes.... 4,000 hits in TWO leagues.... Not really a big woop!

David Ortiz calls out Dempster (according to weei)..... Which was complete BS.... All he was saying was it sparked a rally so it was stupid to do... Media loves to twist things!

His body could only take 6 200+ inning seasons in a row, with 7 being his breaking point?

David Ortiz needs to

1.) learn English, and
2.) never speak it again until he retires (or is before the House Juidiciary Board testifying about his use of PEDs.)

Forgot that. Fair enough then. He plays for both.

Wasn't Mike Hampton, by all accounts, a dickhead?

dont know, he spent too much time on the DL for anyone in Atlanta to ever find out

much like the QB position, the MLB has granted that ace pitchers can make the most amount of money for doing the least.

he's got a guaranteed contract. he can suck if he wants to. that's a risk most teams do not want to take.

Will not make the national news but the Marlins announcer just called Kershaw a slacker.

I just hope what ever he has he gives to Scherzer.

Did the Dodgers give Brian Wilson a little league jersey? That jersey looked about 5 sizes too small or something from a 70s pron.

Consider the source.

I guess we will find out if slackers win Cy Young awards soon enough.

Nothing wrong with hazing ex-Giants I say......

Never will happen. But in all honesty there was nothing wrong with what he said. He wasn't truly defending A-rod and he wasn't throwing Dempster under the bus.

All I got out of it was he didn't agree with throwing at ARod. No big news as the beaning is about 50/50 for and against.

Yes, tremendous anus...but he gets a pass from New Yorkers because of 2000.

At this point is there anybody in the NL that is still in the discussion?


IMO unanimous Cy Young for Kershaw.
