Precious Roy Posted February 23, 2005 Report Posted February 23, 2005 Hhahahahaha, why is A-Rod watching porn?
Jericholic82 Posted February 24, 2005 Report Posted February 24, 2005 Early news out of Mets camp is that Willie Randolph has banned facial hair for the season. The "Yankeeization" of the Mets continues So Mike Piazza has to get rid of his beard? They were married just a short time ago. LMAO that was a good one please dont try to Yankeeize the Mets we Yanks fans work so hard to ignore them lol anyhow I wont play fantasy booking here, but I hope the Yanks have a good year. and as long as Boston falls back to Earth Ill be able to at least laugh at them again. remember you got what you wanted you bragged too much about it, get ready for the curse of the Mietnkiewicz (I named it simply due to the whole ball ownership thingy not for much else)
mike546 Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 I could be wrong, but I THINK I'm right this time. I was having this argument over AIM with a Sox fan over Jarret Wright. I understand hes only had 1 good year, and a whole lot of bad years. But then the guy told me hes "worthless." I can understand the Yanks overpayed him, I can understand hes a HUGE injury risk, and I can understand the move wasn't actuallu smart, but will somebody tell me if I'm wrong by thinking the word "worthless" next to Jarret Wright is totally stupid?
Guest Failed Mascot Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 I wouldn't say worthless but its definately high risk. Worthless at this point would be a pitcher like Rick Helling.
HarleyQuinn Posted March 1, 2005 Report Posted March 1, 2005 I'd call Wright a marginal #4/5 and I think that's being generous. His top 3 IP? 192.7 at 22, 133.7 at 23, and 186.3 at 28(last season). He's never thrown for more than 90.3 IP otherwise. If I were a Yankee fan, I'd realistically be hoping for 130-150 IP. At worse, I'd expect a 40-50 IP season.

I don't think the word "worthless" belongs besides Jaret Wright, either. High-risk? Maybe not by a pure performance standpoint. Injury-wise? Isn't everyone a high-risk? As an Indians fan, I can tell you that Wright had -major- upside when he was pitching with us his first year. Yes, he did fall off, but look at his last season: 15-8 and a 3.28 ERA with the Braves in 32 starts. He threw 186 and a third, which was the most he's thrown since his sophomore season with the Indians. He gave up less hits than innings pitched (168), he didn't give up that many taters (11), and his Ks to walks ratio is not that bad (159 K / 70 BB). Jaret Wright will be a high-quality, though not superstar, pitcher that can be servicable for several more years. ...Too bad he's with the Yanks. :|
DerangedHermit Posted March 2, 2005 Report Posted March 2, 2005 Good ad in today's Newsday from the Mets:
Guest Failed Mascot Posted March 2, 2005 Report Posted March 2, 2005 Injury-wise? Isn't everyone a high-risk? no
Vasarian_Brandy Posted March 2, 2005 Report Posted March 2, 2005 Injury-wise? Isn't everyone a high-risk? no Basically all I was trying to say is that anything can happen to anyone at any given time. So maybe not everyone's a high-risk, but there's always the chance.
DerangedHermit Posted March 2, 2005 Report Posted March 2, 2005 Injury-wise? Isn't everyone a high-risk? no Basically all I was trying to say is that anything can happen to anyone at any given time. So maybe not everyone's a high-risk, but there's always the chance. There are players that just simply get injured more and are high risk. See JD Drew, Ken Griffey Jr., Cliff Floyd, Jose Reyes and quite a few pitchers (including the aforementioned Wright and Kevin Brown).
Vern Gagne Posted March 3, 2005 Author Report Posted March 3, 2005 This is horrible news.espn.com. Me and my brother used to love the horrible Braves teams of the 80's, and Rick "JunK' Mahler was a favorite.
mike546 Posted March 4, 2005 Report Posted March 4, 2005 I know spring training isn't obviously not the regular season, but Tanyon Sturtze defintley showed his hot streak of last season was a full time thing. EDIT: Dammit, thats supposed to be a wink.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted March 4, 2005 Report Posted March 4, 2005 Whatever you do, pay no attention to Spring Training pitching performances, especially this early. I would like to say that having XM Radio is a godsend. I was able to listen to my first Phillies game since October.
mike546 Posted March 4, 2005 Report Posted March 4, 2005 I know, but Torre did say his stuff was "nasty" *wink*
Guest LooneyTune Posted March 4, 2005 Report Posted March 4, 2005 I would be more worried with the batting right now than the pitching (although it's probably too early to declare anything). I know it's spring training, a.k.a warm-ups disguised as a real game, but THREE hits? Come on... they were playing the Pirates. The Pirates pitching looked alright, but like Alkeiper mentioned, you really can't judge pitching by the spring training performances.
Bruiser Chong Posted March 4, 2005 Report Posted March 4, 2005 That Dodgers defense was awful today. It was like watching a little league game.
Guest Failed Mascot Posted March 4, 2005 Report Posted March 4, 2005 somewhere right now Derek Lowe is crying over what Bruiser said.
Guest Mosaicv2 Posted March 4, 2005 Report Posted March 4, 2005 Was it 4 straight errors for the Dodgers? 2 errors in the 9th... one was a leadoff single, the other was the one that brought the winner run home.
strummer Posted March 4, 2005 Report Posted March 4, 2005 Whatever you do, pay no attention to Spring Training pitching performances, especially this early. I would like to say that having XM Radio is a godsend. I was able to listen to my first Phillies game since October. On that note, Mike Mulder and Pedro Martinez pitched poorly in their debuts with their new teams today. I agree that no one should EVER pay attention to how pitcher's pitch in spring training. Too many times, I've seen pitchers just hurl fastballs over the middle of the plate and not even try to give away their stuff.
Bruiser Chong Posted March 4, 2005 Report Posted March 4, 2005 What's worse about the last error was that it should've been a doubleplay that ended the game.
mike546 Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 Giambi homers AT Ft. Myers! Take that Red Sox bitches~!!!
KingPK Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 So I guess his Balco shipment finally got delivered. $1500 for a ticket to a fucking SPRING TRAINING game.......insanity. So, did the Yankees show their Wang off? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let that Wang guy that pitched tonight make the roster. A mine-full of comedic gold just WAITING for someone to dig it out.
Guest Mosaicv2 Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 Giambi homers AT Ft. Myers! Take that Red Sox bitches~!!! It's only a spring training game... please.
Guest Mosaicv2 Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 Well... I just saw it on ESPNEWS... Yankees over Red Sox 9-2, wonderful now I have to hear a "YAWNFEST" between Red Sox fans and Yankees fans bitching about teams
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 Anyone else catch Kenny Mayne's Sportscenter piece previewing this game? Classic.
mike546 Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 Did you see the thing from yesterday? The 4 year old complaining about the Yankees never winning a WS while hes alive. Awesome.
Vasarian_Brandy Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 Anyone else catch Kenny Mayne's Sportscenter piece previewing this game? Classic. Kenny Mayne is stupidly funny sometimes. The bits with the kid Yankee fans was cute though. the cut of him 'crying' at their stories was a bit much though.
Precious Roy Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 Did you see the thing from yesterday? The 4 year old complaining about the Yankees never winning a WS while hes alive. Awesome. hahaha wish I'd seen that
Guest Failed Mascot Posted March 8, 2005 Report Posted March 8, 2005 Giambi homers AT Ft. Myers! Take that Red Sox bitches~!!! It's only a spring training game... please. Its all he'll have to celebrate this season. Don't ruin it for him. By the way, I whole-heartidly approve of your avatar and member title combo.
