7/13/2011 12:29:41 AM

^^Shit does that mean Axford out of closer role?

NyM410, who's going to be the Mets closer? Fantasy help needed

[Edited on July 13, 2011 at 12:32 AM. Reason : sucks for Axford]

7/13/2011 12:32:11 AM

Haha I own both Axford and K-Rod. So that's fun. I'll need to make a move no matter what.

[Edited on July 13, 2011 at 12:34 AM. Reason : ]

7/13/2011 12:34:08 AM

KRod has a $17.5 million player option for next year. Fuck that noise. Dumb move by the Brewers. Axford is good enough.

7/13/2011 12:35:01 AM

i wonder how much cash the mets gave them. i think if i were going to take him on at 17.5, i'd need about 10 of that paid by them. but maybe they plan on leaving axford as the closer so they won't have to pay it at all

7/13/2011 12:51:48 AM

^^it may be dumb, but the brewers are obviously going all out for this season.

next year they will be a completely different team.

7/13/2011 2:52:58 AM

Mets sent around $5 Million.

I also think his 17.5 Million contract only becomes valid if he has 21 more saves this year. Can't remember if that is right though.

7/13/2011 7:53:10 AM

Heard his option is about number of games finished (not just saved). Axford only knocked out of the closer's role if he gets injured

7/13/2011 9:29:54 AM

He has to finish 55 games

Only the dumbest of dumb fuck GMs would let it vest

7/13/2011 9:31:11 AM

Bobby Parnell or Jason Isringhausen will probably be the new Mets closer.

7/13/2011 9:31:46 AM

these innings are moving so fucking slow. and i want to turn it off but i don't.

(BOS/TB, 15th inning)

7/18/2011 1:15:10 AM

red sox/rays is going to go all night

top of the 15th, scoreless, 1 out

[Edited on July 18, 2011 at 1:16 AM. Reason : what are the odds we both bump this within 24 seconds, after no posts since sunday morning]

7/18/2011 1:15:33 AM

The amount of balls hit to the track in this game without a single one dropping is ridiculous.

7/18/2011 1:19:22 AM

^^haha, that's funny.

not just the warning track, but the same fucking location within like 15-20 feet

7/18/2011 1:33:56 AM

when the last child cries, for a crust of bread.

7/18/2011 1:35:19 AM

can we just get a position player in pitching already

7/18/2011 1:36:09 AM

Lots of warning track power in this game.

7/18/2011 1:44:42 AM

rays will hit a solo shot to send it to the 17th

7/18/2011 1:45:58 AM

Papelbon makes funny faces

7/18/2011 1:49:34 AM

haha what a game, 8 total hits in 16 innings. wish I was there!

[Edited on July 18, 2011 at 2:04 AM. Reason : 15 pitchers]

7/18/2011 2:02:45 AM

I can tell you're joking cuz I was watching that game while I was playing FIFA and there were like crickets in the crowd it was so boring.

7/18/2011 8:48:37 PM

i would really like these trades to fire up.

hopefully Seattle makes some trades for people who can HIT

Bedard, Fister, or Vargas might as well get their bags ready...

7/19/2011 6:22:44 PM

Victor Martinez's play at home was pretty neat. I've seen better, though.

7/20/2011 3:08:24 PM

I'm just shocked you found baseball footage on youtube

7/20/2011 3:15:08 PM

holy shit Stephen Drew just put his foot on backwards while sliding into the plate

7/20/2011 10:49:46 PM

not sure if any of you saw this the other day, but this is from 1st and 10 on ESPN where they're discussing jim thome's hall of fame credentials. the amount of stupid in this conversation between dan graziano and skip bayless is mind-boggling. it's unbelievable that these men are employed by a reputable sports network (actually it's not since it's ESPN after all) because they are complete and utter morons . someone please embed.

I dont understand why First Take is still on tv, by far ESPN's worst show

7/21/2011 11:01:41 AM

Never shoulda lasted past the "Cold Pizza" stage

7/21/2011 11:06:16 AM

so I just wrote this on twitter:

Quote :

"@espn I'd like to smack @DanGrazianoESPN & @realskipbayless in the face for the Thome HOF argument. @ESPN_FirstTake is an awful joke show"

Dan Graziano just replied with this

Quote :

"@drod900 That a real threat, Big Guy? Or just normal chicken Twitter boasting?"

haha, what the fuck. Yeah, I'm really gonna go fight this dude on espn. What should I reply with?

7/21/2011 11:23:41 AM

wow, this Dan Graziano dude is pissed, we've gone back and forth since my last post. He's looking for a twitter fight apparently

7/21/2011 12:20:48 PM

I've tweeted at him twice in the last 2 days about how much of an idiot he is, and he didn't respond to mine. well done, sir.

i told him i felt stupid after hearing him and skip bayless speak and that his argument about keeping thome out of the hall is literally one of the dumbest things i've ever heard. i also asked how he has a HoF vote.

[Edited on July 21, 2011 at 12:41 PM. Reason : .]

me:

Quote :

"@DanGrazianoESPN Yeah, like I'm really gonna come to ESPN to smack you. Admit it, you're just looking for shock value and replies like mine"

him:

Quote :

"@drod900 I have a Hall of Fame vote and take it very seriously. I mean what I say on TV and stand by it. You hide behind Twitter. "

me:

Quote :

"@DanGrazianoESPN Relax tough guy. Give me a vote and a tv show and I'll at least make rational arguments. Leave the shock value crap to Skip"

him:

Quote :

"@drod900 You're a punk who threatened me in public and never imagined I'd reply. Who tells you how to do your job?"

me:

Quote :

"@DanGrazianoESPN I'm glad you replied, maybe you'll tone down the stupid now. And I dont work in TV where your opinions are open to scrutiny"

I'm trying to avoid all the name-calling shit that he keeps reverting back to. I know absolutely nothing about this guy, his twitter feed says his a NFC East blogger, but after a quick google search I guess he is some sort of baseball analyst. I, too, wonder how he got a HOF vote.

7/21/2011 12:47:17 PM

maybe I will, but I wont be watching to see it

7/21/2011 12:48:18 PM

hahahaha that's awesome dude. unfortunately guys like him have their heads so far up their asses and feel validated by the fact that they're employed by major sports networks that they'll never realize how truly retarded their opinions are no matter how many logical fallacies you point out or arguments you'd win against them.

baseball journalists who don't suck: jonah keri, joe posnanski

7/21/2011 12:51:42 PM

^Posnanski is the man

7/21/2011 2:26:20 PM

hahahaha i told people in a baseball thread on the something awful forums about DROD900 and now a bunch of them are harassing this idiot too

7/21/2011 2:43:25 PM

Forward this to deadspin or sportsbybrooks or someone that loves shitting on ESPN

7/21/2011 3:05:29 PM

ah, thats probably why he hasnt written me back since the last post. He doesnt seem like the type of guy to let someone "hiding behind their twitter" get the last word

7/21/2011 3:19:35 PM

^ he also has a twitter fiasco on his hands since i reported your exploits to something awful sports

7/21/2011 3:30:32 PM
