ugh, i really dont want to play this stupid playoff game tomorrow. in the fucking playoffs all year and the team that is about to spend it's first day in a playoff position the entire season gets the home game

you should see this fat shit lefty they have in there, he's horrible and they aren't taking him out

meanwhile the dbacks are throwing in scrubs in a 1-1 game in the 8th, so so gay. this is all a conspiracy against me

and then has two pitchers warming up in the bullpen when the lead gets cut to a razor thin 5 runs?

im with you, i just fed-ex'd tony gwynn some condoms

it is a nice story, i just dont need to hear it 10 times

haha, well for SOME fan bases the only criteria is a ring, so they'd probably agree but yeah, nen's the man, anytime my friends and i would play strato and one of those assholes would draft hoffman, nen would be my guy

i know what you mean, but the truth is the series was over after mark langston's 2-2 pitch over the middle of the plate was called a ball in game 1. the pads were going toe-to-toe with the yanks the whole game and were just demoralized after that grand slam. the only reason why the pads had the lead in game 3 was the yanks took the day off.

as far as gates and shockey dropping a lot of passes goes, i'd like to know what their dropped balls/balls throw at them % is. im sure most other players with less balls don't get as many thrown to them (and for a reason to)

he still produces more than almost every other TE in football. i'll keep him

i definitely don't view him the way you view wagner. hoffman has saved games in the playoffs before and i'm not going to go nuts about him blowing game 3 of a four game sweep in '98. i didn't watch tonight's game cuz it wasn't on extra innings, but he struck out 2 before giving up the triple so i have a hard time thinking the importance got in his head and he got nervous. my rule is that i never get mad at him for blowing regular season games cuz if you get mad at the guy who does his job in regular season games better than anyone in history then who can't you get mad at? however, i dont view him as lights out no matter what the situation is either. IMO he hasn't proven that he's fits either one of the descriptions you listed. if he fucks up in the playoffs i can no longer argue back at people who try to tell me he can't do it in the big spot (though i will still ridicule people who cite a blown game in the exhibition all-star game as supporting evidence). besides, if the pads don't make the playoffs now and that was his last appearance he definitely won't retire and i would think he would not demand a ton of money either

yeah, im not going to get mad at a guy who saves games at a better percentage than anyone who ever lived, he can give one up once in a while.

you should've gotten a vasectomy, faggot

so the 'tiki barber rules' apply to fellow fans of your favorite team too huh?

i couldn't watch the game last night cuz i was in ac for a couple of days, but boy did i have a playing poker with phillies fans and drunkenly talking mad shit to them as the pads kept increasing their lead

haha good point, mo fits the minimum criteria though. he's hispanic and owns a glove

gateb, the two best closers of all time are both free agents this season

i think that during the offseason minaya was counting too much on sanchez returning and being just as good as he was in '06. maybe they would have not had so much turnover there had he known such an intregal part of the great '06 bullpen wouldn't be back

sprained mcl. it couldn't have been that bad though if he's walking around without a limp or wrap less than two weeks after the injury. then again the dude's a freak of nature, i can't wait till he returns

congrats guys, even though i never thought 14.5 in june was insurmountable it's still a really really impressive regular season.

almost two weeks ago i read that jacobs was walking around with no wrap on his leg and no limp. so i would think he shouldn't be out any longer than one more game, then again im no doctor.

their individual ages would make me feel better if they were a more consistent unit. i still think we are using the wrong philosophy when building a defense. IMO we should be signing established corners and drafting linebackers and linemen

yeah i really should shut up. pads won 7 straight and still gained no ground in the NL west or some separation in the wild card standings, i can definitely see them going 5-2 this week and still not making the playoffs :brooding:

personally i'd like to run the ball more when jacobs gets back so if i had my way jacobs would still get his carries without cutting too much into ward's workload. i still think jacobs is the better back but in the interest of preserving his health it looks like a committee is the direction we're headed

is he native american? does he have polio? i need to know these things
