You beat me to it. That's one decent party and one below average party for a college kid.

Blew It Big Time He was also working with 1050 ESPN Radio. I haven't had a chance to listen but I wonder what the Yankee sycophants on there (Max Kellerman, Steven A. Smith, Michael Kay, Brandon Tierney) are saying in his defense over this. When you find out...for the love of God keep it to yourself.
  3. I feel like next year's team is about ten losses more than 2007's team for some reason. I'm not sure that this has a rational basis. So I'm not really looking forward to the season. Also part of it is listening to the idiots that will boo the shit out of Glavine in a game next year. The one that Matt Wise will be starting for us.
  4. They must be photo-shopping over at MLB.com right? Did Milledge really take a picture that fast? And have the exact same facial expression as his old picture?
  5. ="Gwreck"]="iramets"][Now, as to my point: do you really want all trades where you get a veteran for a prospect to be labelled as unqualified successes until ten or fifteen years down the road? To a certain extent -- yeah. We can safely put Kazmir/Zambrano on Jim Duquette's "bad" list but we really won't know HOW bad until Kamir has a few more years under his belt. Or a lesser example, the deal we made in '02 where we lost Jason Bay was a deadline deal. He hadn't hit the majors yet, and it probably wasn't until mid-2002 -- 2 years after the deal -- in the middle of his rookie of the year season where we could safely say "Oh shit, didn't we have this guy? What the fuck?" And in 2007 everyone stopped caring again. (.247/.327/.418//.745)

Maclane is not going to put in a decent multi-year career. I know, you know it, a retarded monkey knows it. Actually the last one is me again. But you catch my drift. Also, circumstances come into play. We needed Green's production RIGHT NOW when we got him. Thoughts?

  8. 18 million a year for Hunter?! That's 9 million per i. The free agent world has gone a little crazy again.
  9. TORVO is always looking for more members.
  10. Fuck that pussy. The one redeeming factor about not winning a title is that bitch won't get a ring that says "New York Mets". I wish Piazza had caught him. OE: Or Burnitz who comes flying out of the corner of the screen to almost catch him as he scurried down the dugout steps. I gotta find my tape of SC from the next day.
  11. Either way, it does nothing to corroborate the theory that Castillo corrupted Reyes.
  12. No I mean Reyes. Try to keep up.
  13. So this was called off right?

Remember, you're talking about Derek Jeter. "Yankee Magic" trumps all common sense. I dunno, this was pre- Jeter = God, no?
  15. What a prick. Fuck him.
  16. SteveJRogers wrote: ="Valadius"]I would have liked this before I found out that Castillo was a bad influence on Reyes. My dad has a good source who told him that Castillo parties way too much, and stays out really late, and that Reyes went out with him nearly every night after Castillo was traded here. Just to corroborate, remeber he missed Glavine's 300th game, a NIGHT game after a DAY game due to "exhaustion." Well...I can tell you I saw him the night before the Glavine game, and he certaintly was still up around 2-3am. This is not corroborrating. Reyes was being overworked and needed a day off.

  18. Valadius wrote: I can't remember who the source was. My dad can't remember either, other than he thinks it was someone close to Willie. However, I faintly recall him saying something about a bouncer at some club. So I dunno. All I know is, he's certain that it was somebody in the know. A bouncer at a club is someone in the know? If so, it is hard to take seriously anything you credit to "inside sources".
  19. G-Fafif wrote: his whole purpose in pitching was wrapped up in the individual glory of 300. Of course that's not even remotely true.
  20. Somehow lots of WFAN callers have gotten access to CPF accounts and are posting in this thread.
