QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 03:57 PM) Its like smart ball, its called backwards bullpen, its new. Opposite day. Duh.

Relax. This one's ours... I hope.

Marte is nowhere near as bad as some want to make him out to be. Nor is Ozzie... Just thought I'd point that out.

QUOTE(beck72 @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 03:30 PM) Even if the player himself says the other guy is the better fielder, not to mention the manager who says Gload could win a gold glove there?! I'm not dissing PK, who has improved a lot over the years. But Gload is the better fielder, no question I just hope this isn't a 'ross gload should be our everyday starter next year' argument...

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 02:22 PM) Crede with a throwing error. Joe's in a defensive slump right now. f***in' sideburns...

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 10:14 PM) Who would have ever thought Illinois would come from behind and beat Arizona when down 15 with 4 minutes left? Sure, the refs resembled Helen Keller...but it was still a miracle. Yeah, those weren't the cleanest steals...

QUOTE(Ozzie Montana @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 10:09 PM) Somebody has to wake Podsednik up. He cant hit or steal or even take a walk. QUOTE(Ozzie Montana @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 10:07 PM) This game blowed. Podsednik is just terrible now 2 for his last 25. Bad stretch, but I'm not too worried.

QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 10:00 PM) I think Iguchi should be traded lol Use green!

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 09:56 PM) Is that the first time you agreed w/me all year? BTW, think Mejia will be any good for DePaul this year (you can save that for a different thread some time). LOL. Possibly. And the previous post was meant towards everyone who second-guesses Ozzie after the fact and not just you. Sammy needs to break out this year. It's his team. I'm expecting an emergence and play similar to how Francisco Garcia played for Louisville, although not quite at that level just yet. That's my humble opinion.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 09:53 PM) Screw who's better: Willie or Timo. I personally think both of them should have been off this team. At least Timo has produced lately. Willie was awful for far too long this season, and didn't seem to have a very positive attitude on the field. Yep.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 09:50 PM) kelly drandsfeldt :puke

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 09:47 PM) Can steal an occasional base? I hope you're talking about Podsednik, too, because over his career, he's been .3 percentage points better than Harris. Let's not go there...

QUOTE(Sox Hustler @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 09:44 PM) 17 left on base, how rediculous is that. Didn't they leave like 12 on last night? ugh. And it's ALL Ozzie's fault... :rolly

Thanks again.

QUOTE(Benson&Rexage @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 03:51 PM) I hope not. Even though the show became way too over quoted it is still hilarious. I hope they come back and make a third season. If not I will start a side topic and list top five skits* 1) Mad Real World 2) Black Bush 3) Clayton Biggsby 4) First Black s*** 5) Sneeker gang fight * except rick james and prince skits Talk about buckling under the pressure... Anyways, "Is Wayne Brady gonna have to choke a b****?" was funnier than any you have listed, in my opinion. The show was funny until it got as overrated as it did.

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 03:37 PM) ESPN's Fantasy Baseball page usually has an article called the Closer Report that will list and rank all the closers (and some elite setup men and the probable replacement). Thanks. Edit: s***, I hate insider.

Scoop writes 1 bad column for every 30 s***ty marriotti columns. :headshake But I shouldn't be surprised that all you white guys are taking his side when race is brought up.

I hate dorrell wright...

Is there a site that lists all teams' current closers without having to look up each team individually?

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 09:24 PM) He doesnt really lead the team..... and I dont think the players really look at him as the leader like Manny or Schilling.... With Sweeney partly because of him being such a great guy and part because he is on a very young team i bet everyone in the KC clubhouse looks up to him. Wait, manny is a leader?

QUOTE(GBlum## @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 10:18 PM) Ok, take out weak and put in, not the 2nd best. I'm arguing that saying a guy is not great defensively by pointing out his 1 rebound/3 minutes and respectable block total is weird. Better? Fine. And I still say "great" is a stretch. He was once dominant...then great...but I don't consider him great anymore. We're arguing two different things anyways. The point of my posts is that he isn't 2nd best and I provided about 5 examples of far superior defensive centers. I guess the outcome is that you consider him to still be great a great defender while I consider him good, at best. Also, minutes are earned. If you're not gettin' your minutes, you probably don't deserve them. I don't consider role players elite because they aren't called upon to do it on a consistent basis.

QUOTE(GBlum## @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 10:14 PM) Did I say he was the 2nd best defender? I'm arguing that saying a guy is weak defensively by pointing out his 1 rebound/3 minutes and respectable block total is weird. Point out where I called him a weak defender. A shadow of his former self means I recognize what type of defender he once was but I clearly pointed out that he is no longer elite. Is he still serviceable? Yep. Is he elite? Hell no. If you were to read my posts, you'd understand that...

QUOTE(GBlum## @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 10:09 PM) The part where you said he's not the #2 defensive center because he averages 1 board/3 minutes So does that make him the 2nd best defender in your eyes? You were the one who asked what rebounds mean to defense...I then had to point out the word "defensive" in the term defensive rebounds. I POINTED OUT HIS NUMBERS BECAUSE YOU CANNOT BE THE 2ND BEST CENTER DEFENDER IN THE LEAGUE IF YOU ONLY PLAY 10 MINUTES PER. What in the hell are you arguing exactly?

QUOTE(GBlum## @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 10:07 PM) So you rip his 1 rebound/3 minutes? That's intelligent. I ripped him being ranked the 2nd best center defender. Seriously, what part didn't you understand?

QUOTE(GBlum## @ Aug 1, 2005 -> 04:22 PM) I'm not defending him if you had any ability to comprehend what you read you would know that. It's f***ing dumb as s*** to trash a guys numbers when he plays 15 mpg. HE PLAYS THOSE MINUTES FOR A REASON. Please learn to comprehend what you read. Touchy 'cause you had to change your name?
