Soxplosion Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 People say he helped Buehrle become what he is today but I say thats bull. MB got to where he is today all on his own. What I really hate Wells for is his bad pitching and hypocritical lying. He called Thomas a wussy on his radio station when Thomas had a very serious injury and then the fat terd went down with a sore back. So what, big tough guy Wells, a torn triceps is a wussy injury but a sore back is what all the tough guys get? Sorry dirtbag, it doesnt work like that...

Jim Fainter Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 He is the second player from New York to write an autobiography and then, when criticized for its content, claim innocence because he never read it. The other idiot was Darryl Strawberry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what, big tough guy Wells, a torn triceps is a wussy injury but a sore back is what all the tough guys get? Sorry dirtbag, it doesnt work like that... But he did help Buehrle get where he is today...along with Nardi. Both played big roles in Buehrle's success....along with Buehrle himself doing some too. Do not deny the truth. He did call Thomas out....but he was trying to be the team leader and doing the team leader's job...when he wasn't the team leader. Thomas was unhappy about Wells's comments and said a few not-so-nice things about Wells. The two then talked and agreed to put it in the past later...so they're all good now. What I don't like is that he sucked for us....going like 5-7 4.58 or something like that....but what I don't like even more is the fact that we could have resigned him last year for 2-years and probably less then the $7 mill he got from the Yanks(remember, this is also the same guy that took some shots at Cleveland as well, saying he'd never pitch for them and that Cleveland as a city sucks...I believe anyways). I know that I'd rather have had Wells than Ritchie last year, and I'd have to make a choice between Rauch and Wells. I don't like the guy's attitude....but the fact that he said he wanted to return to us shows that he wanted to improve and help this team win....and KW denied him....and then he traded Wells, Fogg, and Lowe for Ritchie....I'd say Wells got the last laugh. Had we resigned Wells...we would have possibly had a rotation of Buehrle, DWells, KWells, Garland, Wright last year....I like that a hell of a lot more than Buehrle, Ritchie, Garland, Wright, and a very unpolished, 80% healthy at most Jon Rauch. Then again....I don't like it as much as Buehrle, Colon, Garland, Wright and a more polished, 95% healthy Jon Rauch.....who knows. Maybe, had we kept Kipper, we would have traded him and some others to Montreal for Colon and company....without even having to deal with the Yanks. But then we'd still have Osuna.....eh. I don't know....hindsight is 20-20....but it's never clear how it would have happened. All I know is that is ALL in the past and we are looking at the most talented team in the majors in front of our very eyes. And cw.....you said... The guy is a blowhard and a braggert and a liar who lives to make himself look big. Come on.....I don't think Wells has to try to make himself look big....he already does!

But, didn't Canseco say in an interview last year that 99% of MLB players are on some type of steroid? Maybe they're both egomaniacs and nothing they say should be believed.

YASNY Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 Ken Caminetti also mentioned something about steriods. In fact, I think he was the first to do so publically. If I remember correctly, he put it at around 50% and Canseco said 65%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SI1020 Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 Look real closely, particularly at the position players and you can get a pretty good idea who is and who isn't on steroids. Then you have players that have never been power hitters and then all of a sudden they hit 50. Then a couple of years later they're back to hitting 10 or 15. I can't for the life of me understand why any pitcher would take steroids. You don't need to bench press 300 lbs to throw hard. Look at guys like Randy Johnson or Pedro Martinez. In any case, steroids are a real bad deal. They shrink a certain part of the male anatomy among other things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He called Thomas a wussy on his radio station when Thomas had a very serious injury and then the fat terd went down with a sore back. So what, big tough guy Wells, a torn triceps is a wussy injury but a sore back is what all the tough guys get? Not only that... At least Frank got injured trying to help the team win (diving for a ball down the line hit by Ichiro). David got injured because he's a fat out of shape slob who spends his off-nights out getting hammered instead of taking care of himself for the betterment of not only himself and his family, but also for his teammates that rely on him every 5 days. :fyou David Wells, you hot-air-filled-piece-of-s***.

IlliniKrush Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 David Wells got nailed by a batted ball yesterday, and was down, and then later he fielded a ball and threw it into centerfield, i was laughing pretty hard.

I was excited when we got Wells, and I'm not afraid to admit it now. We were coming off a great season, and were poised to make a run at the WS after bringing in David, a proven winner, regardless of his off-the-field tactics. Unfortunately, everything that could go wrong DID go wrong, and it turned out to be a waste of money. That said, I hope he gets traded to the Devil Rays for a couple of prospects -- it would serve the REAL "fat f***ing toad" right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
