I'M BRINGING THIS SHIT BACK

Bobby Parnell with 6 scoreless innings! Highlight of the Mets' season!

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #301 on:** August 14, 2009, 11:29:11 PM »

Hey look, an overworked Braves reliever coughs up the lead in a game that matters.

As long as Bobby is responsible for managing our bullpen, we need to have the best offense in the league cause he overworks relievers like no other. Of course, we could solve that problem another way...

Also, obligatory lol mets.

I was so shocked to see the Braves come back and win in the bottom of the 9th tonight that for a minute I could have sworn we were playing the Mets, especially considering how we came back.

Why couldn't have Lidge blown just a few of these saves last year? Fuck.

And Johan got totally owned by Kung Fu Panda today; it was fucking embarrassing. He threw at the fat piece of shit, missed him behind his back, and then the dude hit a bomb. I hate everything.

Oh yeah, not to mention the only player the Mets have left got hit in the fucking head.

Astros did well against Phillie. 7-0 knocked right out of their socks and Wandy really stepped up to the plate.

Also, Braves will be super good next year if they play their two hotshot prospects at 1B and OF, Freddie Freeman and Jason Heyward. Plus, I only have to endure one more year of Bobby Cox mishandling the bullpen! Bring on 2010!

I don't htink they got rid of Kazmir because they needed money, I think they got rid of him because they're fucking stupid and thought that just because he sucked the beggining of this year, meant he was suddenly shit, and that's why they got rid of him for two prospects that are terrible. The Rays just have a terrible FO when it comes to trades. Look at Edwin Jackson, a prime candidate for the Cy fucking Young this year and we traded him for Matt Joyce, a no body. WTF. It's like all the bad karma we got for stealing Kazmir from the Fets bit us in the ass with Edwin Jackson and Kazmir. And now they want to get rid of BJ fucking UPton and i'm sure they'll trade him for some more shitty ass prospects.

Smh, we should've picked Lincecum over Longoria.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #322 on:** October 04, 2009, 07:42:06 PM »

Edwin Jackson is not about to win the Cy Young award. Sorry.

Also, they traded him not because they needed money (although they do) but because in the future they wouldn't be able to afford him and wanted to get something for him while they could. Please don't talk to me about stupid trades, either- the Braves have written the book on them in the past decade, from trading a LEGIT Cy Young contender in Adam Wainwright and a serviceable middle of the rotation starter in Jason Marquis for a rental of JD Drew. Then, after not learning that lesson they traded a hot catching prospect, a guy who has turned out to be the best defensive SS in the AL, a future ML starter and a top reliever for Mark Teixeira, who when we learned that we couldn't sign him we traded for Casey Kotchman, who we thought so much of that we then traded him for Adam LaRoche.

MyNameIsMethodis · « **Reply #323 on:** October 04, 2009, 07:44:24 PM »

who does mark textiera play for now

and ya I know edwin won't win a CY, but he's a damn good pitcher, or prooved so this year that he was.

Just Kazmir as a Angel is disgusting. Atleast trade him back to the NL or get something good you distinguished mentally-challenged fellows.

Yeah . . . that was horrible.

Longoria is a fantastic positional player and the Rays have him locked up until 2016 for peanuts. According to fangraphs, he's worth over $30 million this year alone, and the Rays are paying him less than $5 million a year over the term of his contract.

Pitchers are risky draft picks and rarely live up to their potential.

I'm not baseball fan but I love sports radio so it's impossible not to know what's going on. Seems like the Tigers really dropped the ball to be in this situation.

Yeah but Longoria is going to be a Yankee as soon as he's done. Lincecum will always be ag iant.

Flannel Boy · « **Reply #328 on:** October 04, 2009, 08:05:45 PM »

you have him locked up for seven more years! Lincecum will be making $20 million+ a season long before Evan hits free agency.

If we can't even keep BJ Upton more than two years, what makes you think we're going to keep Longoria before trading him for more prospects?

And I can't wait for next year when cigarillo gots like Dave Cameron and RJ Anderson start their yearly circle jerk about how great teams that pay attention to defensive metrics are. They'll always just be "good enough" until they a) they can't afford their prospects like Tampa Bay or b) get outspent within their respective divisions by the unlimited coffers of the Yanks and Angels and then both teams are irrelevant the following year.

Can't wait for bluemax to cock-gobble Dave "Cano will always be shit/Red Sox dropped the bomb cutting Brad Penny/John Smoltz" Cameron and whine like a pissy bitch when you say anything remotely bad about him.
