He bitches just to freaking bitch

Yes he does. He used to get so mad when people didn't agree with his incessantly negative opinions. That's one guy I'm glad isn't here. Dan Anthony and thackattack are two others.

The said thing is that he knows it. He knows that he is a total MY homer.

How he thinks he still has any credibility as a writer is beyond me.

It's a non point. You are saying that using hindsight. There is no promise it happens next year.




Were they much worse off everytime they lost one of those guys?

When Giambi left, they won 1 more game the next season.

When Tejada left, they went from 96 to 91 wins, with much of that being due to struggling years from Zito/Mulder and Hudson missing a month moreso than losing Tejada.

When Mulder and Hudson left after 2004, they won just 3 less games the next year


They seemed to do pretty well when they lost a big name, wouldn't you agree??

In other words, it's not as they go from 95 wins to 82 wins overnight when they lose their top guys.

I guess you just lost the farm

HaHa, sure did Mate, 20 acres in the wind, but that's cool by me....my F250 has a heater, a nice system, and a fluffy new pillow. Plus the Rangers have the perfect leadoff hitter. I'll worry about 2019-20 if we're still around then. Someone talk JD into signing Nelly too and I'll throw in my truck and sleep in a tent
:yahoo:

They lost Colon and Balfour. This also isn't 2004. It is a decade later, so relying on magic from 10 years ago that netted them nothing but embarrassing ALCS collapses is really not a trend or anything. It's just past happenings.

As I said, they are gonna get a Dh. Bank on it. They wouldn't have to backload it unless they wanted to make one more move. That would be stupid. I'm tellin you that's the plan. I know some of you ( won't name specifically) think I'm just talking a bunch of bs but I'm tellin you that's what the plan is.

BTW y'all gotta listen to one alter bridge song of my choosing!

Who doesn't like Alter Bridge...Broken Wings baby

As stated before, playoffs are a crapshoot and more about who gets hot at the right time.

Seriously, you think the 2006 Cards were built for the playoffs with guys like Jeff Weaver and Jeff Suppan? Or the 2003 Marlins with Carl Pavano coming out of nowhere? Or the 2000 Yankees with a very mediocre pitching staff (and I'm saying this as a Yankee fan). Let's be realistic here...

So much this!!!

The entire point of alt rock is to be not mainstream. Great...now I sound like a hipster asshole.

I know what you mean, but I have no respect for the lack of originality and integrity in any genre of mainstream music. It's all commercial, over produced, similar sounding crap.

Of course you don't, because you seem to see everything only through red, white and blue tinted glasses.
