I used to be one of CJ's biggest supporters regarding him in the closer role
But now, I am fast losing my confidence in him. He sucks right now.

WHY
because he has one blown save all year?
by blueballlefty on May 12, 2008 11:02 PM CDT up reply actions
Hmm?
He could easily have just lost the game for us. Just because it wasn’t a save situation by definition doesn’t mean he didn’t lose it.
by brettgardner on May 12, 2008 11:06 PM CDT up reply actions
Because he's all over the place
even when he gets the job done. Not dominating hitters.

No
Because every single outong by him lately has been Joe Borowski-esque.

I've wondered the same about Benoit
If they both have something wrong, we are totally screwed.

This better be a walkoff coming up here, because I don’t think I can watch extra innings of this crap.

Not been very happy with CJ lately
Jennings and BB must have rubbed their suck on him.
windex gets that off….but you really have to rub.
CJ has been killing my fantasy team lately...
good news for you other former ESPN boardie members.

Yes...

claiming to be Wade Boggs’ son…
Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.
He's an OF prospect
Kind of a sleeper, who has improved his game with every level. We called him up when Hank Blalock was injured, he had a hit in his first AB, and it’s been nothing but fun since, watching him play.

I could be
alittle biased though, since I just woke up about 30 minutes ago…
Say your sorry to Ron Washington
could we at least have
gotten someone on base so we could start with kins next inning.
sigh.
Gerald Laird is my hero.
Screw you CJ
This game should be over. Go back to guitar hero and tai chi or whatever pilates shit you do.
Murphy
will regain his early season dominance with a walk-off in the 10th. Just don’t give up any runs bullpen
I have a challenge for you
Do you think you can go a day without some weird, inappropriate double entendre or sexual reference?

Ummm....
I think he’s about right. Unless I’m missing something.
miles is 18
Watergate was in 1972

My friend
You really need to brush up on your history.

when do you think Watergate happened?

I am
since you made a reference to a political event involving the term Deepthroat…
What the hell were you talking about?
Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.
Well
I could have been talking about a number of things.
The reveal of Felt in ‘05
Miles watching “All the President’s Men” around a cozy fire with his family at Christmas.

Do you think I didn’t know when Watergate was?
Oh, you must be that guy—the one who has exclusive possession of extremely common knowledge.

no dude
you tried to call me out twice..
Your
History is way off.
My friend
You really need to brush up on your history.
That and your weak response tells me two things
1 You thought Deepthroat meant Lewinsky
2 When you realized you were wrong, you ran to Google to throw out Felt’s name and All the President’s Men to act like you knew what you were talking about all along…
Just admit you screwed up and move along…
Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.
You're really
Clueless.
Neither of those are correct.
I know more about either of those events than you do. I didn’t call you out. I was busting your balls because you tried to correct me like a dolt. Gah…people.
Please stick to whatever it is that you know, which obviously isn’t reading between the lines.
by brettgardner on May 12, 2008 11:36 PM CDT up reply actions
bullshit
what makes you think you know more about Watergate than I do?
And why, if you knew what was being talked about, did you tell me flat out to brush up on my history? Yoiu made a stupid statement and my response was because it seemed that you thought miles was older than he was considering the topic… If you were really just ‘telling a joke’ then being an ass with your ‘history’ remarks were a poor decision…
You, sir, screwed up and got caught. Own up to it like a man..
Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.
God
I don’t know why I keep indulging a boob, but I feel compelled.
OK. I have a degree in Political Science. Before anyone chimes in, I know it’s a useless piece of paper, but it should at least demonstrate to you that I have some idea of what I’m talking about. I’ve at least HEARD of both of those events.
Point is: I know the fucking difference between Watergate and Lewinsky. I know more about those events because I’m smart and you’re not. Smart people can read between the lines. It was a goof, and the fact that you’re so adamant on this point just mystifies me.
I know what I’m talking about, and you don’t. Get over it like a man.
by brettgardner on May 12, 2008 11:45 PM CDT up reply actions
Sir
I have an MA in History. I, too, know what I’m talking about concerning those events.
The whole point was that you were not making a joke. Making mistakes and then claiming that it was all a joke when someone points out your lack of knowledge is a sure sign of someone with low self-esteem.
I should add that since I am pointing out your mistakes one by one, actually proving my point, and all you seem to be able to do is call me names and throw out hyperbole, I would venture that I am much more intelligent than you and your vitriol is due to your embarrassment.
You’ve proven, not only to me, that you can’t own up to your own mistakes.
Goodnight.

See
THAT is a joke.. I recognize humor.
What you were doing before wasn’t humor.
Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.
I've
Given up fighting with you.
I’m not a funny man. I can admit that.
Perhaps you didn’t like my little verbal trickery. That’s fine.
But please don’t insult me by having the audacity to tell me what I do and do not know.
I doubt you’re actually stupid, so I apologize for that, but please understand that I am intelligent enough to know the difference between the two events, whether you found what I said witty or not.
It’s just insulting, man.
by brettgardner on May 13, 2008 12:08 AM CDT up reply actions
I never said you didn't know the difference between the two
just that you got them confused. And your post throwing out random things connected to the event smacked of someone trying to claw their way out of a corner.
For the record, I never called your intelligence into question. nor did I throw out names at you. If I got the situation wrong (which I still believe I did not) then I apologize. But I never insulted you, only your position and your actions.
Grieve: The Yanks have struggled so far. - Lewin: Yeah, cry me a bag of money.
Last post.
You got the situation wrong.
I assure you.
That is all.

Nobody who knows anything about those two events would get them confused, ever.

Maybe
a bebop is right.
I really am too defensive.
Guess I’ve just got to let boobs be boobs. I’m really not sure why I care what WhipSmart thinks of me or my knowledge of history, but goddamnit if it doesn’t infuriate me.

you are trying to still make a joke with the “I have a degree in poly sci” line. Good one.

seriously… CJ should not have been out there in the first game of a series when it’s not a save situation… and then he brings a guy in for his ML Debut in extras .. you’ve got to be kidding me… me thnks he is tempting the baseball gods too much
I normally don't defend Wash
But who would you have rather brought in for the 10th? Franklyn German?

Doug Mathis got his first big league win in his first big league game. I don’t know what his future is, but I love that a guy like him was able to get a Major League win. No matter what happens, he’ll always be able to talk about this game.

was drafted by the Mariners and was in the org for six years. Glad to see this happens to other teams as well.
He was...
also the one that had words with that stupid aussie pitcher.
I would have stopped half-way down the 3B line and gave the mariners dugout the DX suck it sign to the crouch…
b!tches.
Two "if's" for ya:
IF Warner Madrigal is as awesome as they say, and
IF CJ Wilson does not improve, Madrigal will be closer by the season’s end.

Yeah right
That would be pretty weak. I like Littleton, but he ain’t no closer..

Nothing would be sweeter
than Madrigal closing out wins against the Halos at the end of the season to put the Rangers in the playoffs, or at least keep Anaheim out.
To be fair, they pitch half their games in Arlington.
Johjima’s home run probably would’ve died in Seattle or Anaheim, for example.
Still not an excuse
It isn’t like this is a rare occurence for CJ right now. He’s been shaky for awhile now.

If Gagne had actually been good in Boston, with him, Papelbon, and Okajima
actually turning into the vaunted triad of late-inning domination, then it would’ve been a good deal for both sides.
However, Gagne busted (and as he continues to do this season), and it turned out to be quite a pretty steal.
Excellent high upside minors prospect, decent outfielder, and decent back of the rotation starter when healthy? Yes please.
