Welcome to the annual MLB Hot Stove thread

[TheBrush]

It's safe to say that mr.pryck has never heard banter between rival teams' fans before.

I remember being in Philly a few years back to watch a mets game and that was where the rumor started about Mike Piazza (being gay), man o man, they were rough on him that week....

I never minded Piazza. Traitors like JD Drew and Scott Rolen piss me off much more.

 

[Hewson]

i thought you were simply refering to pre-game base running practice, when jeter applied the tag to a-rod's tookus as he attempted to steal third

or was i wrong?

Yeah, during rundown practice, also known as "pickle practice"

 

[Hewson]

I have a great sense of humor,

Evidence here would point to the contrary.

 

[Hewson]

Hewson, I don't know which is worse: Your original comment about Jeter "tagging" A-rod or you actually defending that comment.

Please show me where I "defend" my comment exactly.

In fact I apologized directly to you for offending your sensibilities:

If my brand of humor bothers you my friend, I apologize,

I never directed anything negative toward you personally and when I realized that something I had typed in jest had bothered you so dramatically, I offered a heartfelt apology.

Whereas your actions were to call me an "asswipe", a direct attack, in clear violation of the rules of the forum, yet you show no remorse.

Glavine is 50/50 between the Braves and the Mets

 

[phanan]

I don't see how Glavine goes back to Atlanta. They are in rebuilding mode and don't have anywhere near the offense the Mets do.

Glavine will pick up a hell of a lot more wins by staying in New York, and you gotta think he knows this.

 

[Hewson]

With the Mets he has a shot at another World Series, I don't see him having that shot with the Braves.

 

[Bonochick]

If my brand of humor bothers you my friend, I apologize, but resorting to personal attacks and name calling is not called for.

Not only is it not called for, it is absolutely against the rules.

Let's just continue on our merry ways now so that this thread can continue.

"Merry ways"? Is THAT supposed to be a gay joke BC? For shame.

 

[Numb1075]

Arod, received some votes in the AL MVP ballot.

 

[MrPryck2U]

I'm sorry I called you an asswipe! It was wrong. I'm very upset that my man Jeter didn't win MVP, so maybe I just went into a rage. Just call me Micheal Richards. Lol!
Seriously, sorry for calling you an asswipe.
Back to baseball, we all know the real trophy is the World Series Championship.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

glavine's family still lives in atlanta... that would be the lone reason for his return.

i can't see him passing up the chance to win again, esp. considering it's pretty much a one and done situation for him.

 

[Chizip]

Your insane signing of the day, Gary Matthews Jr to the Angels for 5 years 50 million

a 31 year old with a career .263 avg and .755 OPS, and a career high 19 homeruns in a hitters friendly park, the hits just keep on coming

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

cant we all get along?

and what are you insinuating other than the fact that david wright stole your members only jacket?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

from the same GQ article that that picture came from...

Over there, in the Bronx, Reyes and Wright’s combined 2006 salary of $775,500 would have bought you a whopping twenty-four innings of play from Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez.

so in reality, who really is the most valuable player(s)?

 

[speedracer]

Francisco Liriano: $327,000
Jonathan Papelbon: $335,400

I'm sure there are other strong contenders for the bang-per-buck award.

 

[MrPryck2U]

Gary Jr. ain't worth 10 mil per season.
Glavine should stay with the Mets. Things are different for the Braves since he left. He shouldn't go back there. The Mets will again be top contenders in NL. It's a bad move. But maybe good ol' Tommy's heart is in Atlanta.

That one catch on SportsCenter made him a really rich man.

David Wright is overrated, talk about coming up small in the playoffs, yikes

 

[Dalton]

Brandon Inge >>> David Wright



















Ok, now we're just being silly.

 

[Hewson]

The Angels must be out of their minds.

Years of failure to get protection for Vlad from GM Stan D Pat has caused him to forego all common sense and baseball logic.

 

[Numb1075]

David Wright is overrated, talk about coming up small in the playoffs, yikes

take that back ! don't you say a bad word about Mr. Wright

He'll have plenty of post season heroics before his time is done.

 

[Chizip]

thats what they said about Peyton Manning

 

[speedracer]

thats what they said about Peyton Manning

Come on, he was a young kid playing in his first postseason. If David Wright stinks for 3 postseasons in a row then by all means pounce on him.

 

[Numb1075]

His post season numbers are not Arod-esque

 

[Chizip]

His post season numbers are not Arod-esque

you're right

AROD - .280/.362/.485

Wright - .216/.310/.378

 

[Numb1075]

that's one post season appearance for Mr, Wright.

what has Arod done in the playoffs recently?

2-15 against the Angels
1-14 against the Tigers

.077 BA in last 2 post season appearances.

 

[phanan]

David Wright is overrated, talk about coming up small in the playoffs, yikes

How is someone overrated who has only really played two full seasons and made one playoff appearance?

Give him a few more chances before comparing him to Peyton Manning.

 

[Reggie Thee Dog]

No Zip, Wright's the real thing...I agree give him another playoff and see what happens.
