BrandoFan Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Ehem... he pitched MORE innings and was better than everyone else.. he WAS an ACE on this team... Fine....lets throw 50 Mill on a 32-yo FAT, somewhat LAZY pitcher who not only barely cleared a 4.00 ERA barrier, he did so in a s***TY-hitting division and who's had a TON of pitches in that "rubber" arm of his and has complained to his trainer about his back giving him problems during two of his June-July starts.....OR NOT. Waitaminute.....He was better than Loaiza last year?? Okey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waitaminute.....He was better than Loaiza last year?? Okey. Excuse me... where did I say we should have paid Colon that kind of money? Don't bother looking, cause I didn't. The question was will he be missed. And no matter how you look at it, right now, today, at this moment, there is NO ONE on this staff to pick up the slack of his inning eating. So.. stick with the topic of the conversation or run on back to the "God" thread and give another sermon.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandoFan Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 So.. stick with the topic of the conversation or run on back to the "God" thread and give another sermon Will do. But not before you drop by as well, further showcasing yourself as a soul-less escapist drone who is ignorant of the (potentially negative) power of propaganda cinema or the millenia-old Judeo-Christian blood strife that it will help flame, and downplays alternative "serious" motives many other people might have for going to see it. I sure hope you clap and giggle your heart out during the film's most "entertaining" parts such as human skull getting crushed in the mob scene, the various torture and exectution moments AND the "very merry" cruxifiction finale....my fair lady. A canuck McLuhan once said, "Chances are, those who can see the clear and absolute difference between entertainment and education, don't know the FIRST thing about either". It was my old sig. It might just become your new motto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSF Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 You'd think "The Worldwide Leader in Sports" would even as much have a tiny snippet of news at least on the Sox page about Person? Nope. However, if Jeter gets a paper cut, call Pawtucket Gammons, STAT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 Steff is right. Colon pitched 242 innings and we don't know who is going to pitch those innings for the 2004 Sox. SSI is right. Last year at this time we had Colon, Buehrle, Garland and question marks for a starting rotation. This year we have a different 20 game winner in Loaiza, with Buehrle, Garland and a bunch of question marks for our rotation. Ever the diplomat.

Pastime Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 I personally think we'll have a "5th starter by committee" this year. We'll eat those inning with about 4 different guys, hope for 9 wins amongst them, and pray to God that it's good enough to help a patchwork pitching staff win a weak division. Pathetic. Did I miss something? I didn't see a Baj post anywhere in this thread. My bad, but they have the same damn avatar. Between people sharing the same avatar and the whole "Rex Hudler - Hex Rudler - Hudler Rex" crap, it's hard to tell who is who anymore. So sue me.

southsideirish Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 Ehem... he pitched MORE innings and was better than everyone else.. he WAS an ACE on this team... Lat year? He was better than Loaiza? Hmmm Loaiza: 34 Games Started 226.3 Innings Pitched 21 Wins 17 Home Runs allowed 207 Strikeouts 1.114 WHIP 2.90 ERA Colon: 34 Games Started 242 Innings Pitched 15 Wins 30 Home Runs Allowed 173 Strikeouts 1.983 WHIP 3.87 ERA Colon was the ace of the staff? He was better than Loaiza? OOOPSIE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Honda Civic Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 And this is different from last year how? Well last year we got 3 wins out of the 5 spot --- 1 for cotts, 1 for porzio, maybe it was 4 wins... I think stewart won twice... I'm too lazy to look it up.. So the difference is 5 or 6.

Pastime Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 A White Sox fan who drinks? Hmmmm. I can't see any tie-in, but I wish I could. It would make for a fabulous research paper. I say just stick Cotts in there, let him take his lumps, and we'll be better off for it a year from now. My positive thinking about the upcoming season is sinking faster than the Titanic. Schoenweiss is a decent pitcher. He would be a long reliever on a championship team. He would be a 5th starter on a pretty good team. He's our 4th starter. It's UH-OH time, folks.

DBAHO Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 I'm away for 1 day and sumthin like this happens? I didn't think he eva had a chance to win more than 10 games during da year, but it's a blow that there'll b less competition for da 5th stater's job now. My money's on Rauch or Diaz now.

This is your quote: Ehem... he pitched MORE innings and was better than everyone else.. he WAS an ACE on this team... You didn't state that he was better at pitching more innings than everyone else. You stated that he pitched more innings AND was better than everyone else. That means he did both, when in fact he was only better at pitching more innings. Better than everyone else and he WAS an ACE on this team? In fact he wasn't better than everyone else. Just because he pitches more innings than anyone else makes him the ACE and better than anyone else? That is a strange conclusion to come to. In every other category besides innings pitched Colon's numbers do not measure up to Loaiza's. Buehrle pitched more innings than Loaiza last year, 230.3 to 226.3. Would you say that Buehrle was better then Loaiza? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
