SnB Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 He might have been talking about the Urbina trade. They got 3 of the Marlin's top 7 prospects. They did all right for Everett, but remember they are paying 98% of his salary, and these kids are in A ball, although their futures look bright. We'll see. Yeah, he's right, the rangers made tons of trades this month, not just everett, they did really well off the urbina trade. Tonight on sportscenter they had an interview with valentine and they did a little segment on the sox, valentine said the sox WILL make the playoffs.

Jim Fainter Posted July 31, 2003 Author Share Posted July 31, 2003 More Gammons. 7-30. Wed. He really blasted the Cinci management for the way they are dismantling the team. I thought he was going to cry or spit or s***. " Cinci fans will rue the day that current ownership bought the team from Marge Schott." "Bud Selig should not allow these trades." (paraphrased that one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Man, Peter is PISSED about the Reds shenanagans that are going on...I've never seen him actually upset...but really, it makes no sense for the Yanks to get Boone, just because they can...our commish is spineless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Man, Peter is PISSED about the Reds shenanagans that are going on...I've never seen him actually upset...but really, it makes no sense for the Yanks to get Boone, just because they can...our commish is spineless And in a nutshell, that is why he is pissed. Not because the Reds are being dismantled, but because the Yanks are going to steal White and Boone. He didn't cry when Boston picked up Williamson.

The Bones Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Did anyone else see Gammons get pissed about Jeff Weaver on Tuesday night? I guess when the relievers for NYY came in and blew the game against the Red Sox on Sunday and Weaver didn't react too well in the dugout. Gammons was basically saying stuff to Harold Reynolds like, "I was there...I saw what happened...this guy has done nothing his whole career" and Reynolds says, "He didn't lose the game." Gammons responded with, "he didn't win it." Lay off man, this was the yankees #5 starter who pitched, i believe, 6 or 7 solid innings and the relievers came in and blew it for him. He just reacted in a bad way. At least he is showing that he cares, he wasn't in taking a shower. Oh Stutterin' Peter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 And in a nutshell, that is why he is pissed. Not because the Reds are being dismantled, but because the Yanks are going to steal White and Boone. He didn't cry when Boston picked up Williamson. Actualy he did say something about the Red Sox getting Williamson. He thinks the whole situation is bad for baseball.

Dick Allen Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Actualy he did say something about the Red Sox getting Williamson. He thinks the whole situation is bad for baseball. He did, but only after this Boone deal came to light. Even then he was nearly as upset about the Williamson purchase, as he was about the Boone-dogle.

IlliniKrush Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Did anyone hear him talk about this like 4 team deal that has Drew getting traded like 2-3 times (and i can't even remember where he ends up..Oakland maybe?) It was ridiculous, he's like "i can't even explain it" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then he was nearly as upset about the Williamson purchase, as he was about the Boone-dogle. Of cousre he wasn't because he didn't realize what was happining till the Boone deal came up. And once he figured it out he critized them for everything they were doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 His problem is every team is trading for every player. So it a trade occurs he has his ass covered, and came up with a scoop. Gammons baseball acumen was on display at the All Star Game. He picked Boone to win the HR Derby. Boone hit 0 HR's and even whiffed at one. For the actual game he compared the NL line up to the 1933 game's AL lineup, Ruth Gehrig, Foxx ect....and said if the NL had the lead after six the game was over. It wasn't a Cap Cod league team the AL had out there, but listening to him you would have thought that. Gammons is mostly fiction, there's really no substance to most of what he says.

The Critic Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 do you people realize that gammons works for the boston globe? do you realize that the boston red sox play in boston, which is where the boston globe is located? phil rogers contributes to espn.com too, and all he writes about is the cubs and white sox but nobody ever complains about that. I knew that he worked for the Boston Globe, but I had NO idea that the Boston Globe was located in Boston OR that the Red Sox played there!!!! Fact of the matter is, Gammons is an imbecile who is almost NEVER correct about anything he says. And he looks like a gerbil. And he is 112 years old. Also, I don't care about Phil Rogers - maybe if Phil Rogers was flapping his loose jowels on ESPN television instead of pecking away at his PC for espn.com, I'd have more of an opinion about him.

Well everyone acts so shocked when he talks about Boston all the time. It's like they can't put 1 and 1 together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
