Herc

you've won a world series. the end.

2005-1st round sweep 2006-1 win in the first round 2007-NLCS baby steps my friend--i'll take it. not making the playoffs 7 straight years is still fresh in my mind

padres. barrett and bradley haven't done anything gangsta yet in a pads uniform so i had to use some old pics

talk some shit about the pads then--specifically about how chris young is a slow healer...

maybe im wrong but i doubt gagne cares what inning he pitches if his bonus gets paid

yeah that's very true, and it could give them some leverage with mo

damn right. i wish the giles brothers would go back to church (though brian's been the man as a leadoff hitter)

sorry fe, i would've been happy to go talk shit during the pads series and liven up that section but im convinced that they get cold everytime i get too confident

it's only an extra 3 mil or so. and if gagne stays healthy and still puts up sick numbers they can resign him, put him back in the closer role and finally put papelbon back in the rotation next season

he might be better off. he's a big dude so catching probably isn't the best thing for his career

to be fair, if maine was projected to have a high 3's low 4's era as a member of an AL team then he's probably about where he would have been projected if he was on an NL minor league team--maybe a little better

not bad, he doesn't steal as many bases as he used to but last i checked he was still hitting around .300

i really don't want rice at all. it'll be lavar arrington all over again, he'll be on the IR by week 5

he did the same to me. he quit the giants board, bitched about it on the giants board, made his own board that no one joined, and then somehow became a mod and a total hypocrite

they're so freaking pesky....

pads scored 11 runs in the first inning and by the end of the 2nd they had a 12-0 lead. the best bullpen in baseball then proceeded to almost blow a 12 run lead to the astros and at one point had a 15-11 lead with runners on the corners and 1 out. the worst part was that mlb extra innings (for some reason) didn't carry the game, so i had to go through that agony on yahoo.com and chris young was supposed to start that game but went on the DL instead.

kay, like most NY sports media members, knows nothing about teams or players outside of ny

there are writers who didn't vote for them (or abstained) because guys like ted williams weren't unanimous so they think no one else should be. it's the same stupid thinking that cost nash the mvp this season--no one wanting him joining guys like jordan (and i forgot who else) as the only guys who won 3 straight mvps

yeah he should've been unanimous

good, didn't want the dodgers getting him

what do you mean? gwynn is why im a pads fan, he was my favorite player when i was a little kid--i was even a fugazi switch hitter in little league/high school cuz i wanted to emulate his swing. if you mean in terms of this board, i was excited when he was voted in a while ago. that's bigger to me than the actual ceremony

fuck blue sunday

IMO strahan just wants to get paid or cut a few weeks off training camp. sitting out a year will lower his value and he has two years left on his deal anyway. the truth is strahan has no leverage at all and will have to come back with his tail between his legs. i dont think the giants have any interest in signing simeon rice, i think this is being done to piss strahan off and get him back to camp. my respect for jerry reese just went up 10 fold and this is coming from a huge strahan fan

germano's been pretty crappy lately, and bonds LOVES homering against the pads--if i were objective i think i'd put my money on him

yeah that's true too, i was referring to the pads bullpen though
