Adam G Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Joe Borowski lives in my building and I've gotta think of something snappy to say to him about Jeter hitting his first career grand slam off him in New York. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Why the JoeBo hate? I always had a sort of respect for him, he always got by on decent but not great stuff. Its not my style to rip on a journeyman pitcher who was made out to be something that he isnt by the Cub fan-dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, it's good natured teasing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Even if there's some good-natured fun already established, I personally can't see the point of taunting one of the decent guys on the Cubs roster for giving up a slam to Jeter. There are plenty of other Cubs who are far more deserving than Borowski. Wood, Patterson, Baker, Maddux immediately come to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of other Cubs who are far more deserving than Borowski. Wood, Patterson, Baker, Maddux immediately come to mind. And if they lived in my building, I'd tease them too. Maybe I'll just stick to the fact that the Sox have the best record in baseball and the Cubs, uh, dont. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CubKilla Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Obviously the idea of what appears to me as good-natured ribbing has flown the coop with some SoxTalk posters. He said he and JB bust each others balls regularly. Lighten up people...... we're 7.5 games up in first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LosMediasBlancas Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 I've always suspected the guy was on the juice. I wouldn't say s***, unless there is a fence between us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him and Clemens were just too damn big for guys that only throw a baseball. ..Gagne is another one.... and look at him now.

He's 6'2" and 225, which means he's got some size on him, but if you see him in person it looks more like pudge than muscle.

I know 2 or 3 years ago, the guy looked like he was gonna burst through his uni...and his forerams and neck were enormous...just like Clemens...... and just like Gagne. Pure specualtion.
