Kettle...Pot...Black?

I remember reading this gem in the last gamethread:


“for the fans to boo CJ he’s really been a pretty good guy and done a lot in the community, not at his best right now, but I have a hard time blaming him when his Mngr. and pitching coach have pretty much taking 3 of his 5 pitches out of his repertoire, but as you can tell by my name I am a CeeJ fan.”

by LiamP on Jun 19, 2008 4:28 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

THATS

Actually the first post I made on here about CJ I believe, I usually dont say anything about him b/c of my name I dont think anybody would take me seriously there, I just thought it was sorry to boo him!

by blueballlefty on Jun 19, 2008 4:34 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

On the contrary

LSJ’s comments are usually much more intelligent than yours. Just quit while you’re ahead, my friend.

LSJ is a hotthead himself. But I’ve been a lurker on this site for awhile now, and blueballlefty’s posts are often like a fork in my eye.

fact that I actually research most of my crap and have a little baseball knowledge

I wasn't trying to

fight with him to start off I just dont get why these two guys started double teaming (haha) me out of nowhere when I didnt know CJ had a Mo Hawk

Since you mentioned

double team, I guess I’m going to have to turn the hose on everyone like 2 (or more) dogs in the front yard.

by EssBee on Jun 19, 2008 4:37 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

it's not a double team

he said you’re dense because they talked about the mohawk 5 posts up.

but it’s not a big deal either. Just one comment. you explained yourself. just move on. no need to repeat it

Rare Gnats Sex

by ab03 on Jun 19, 2008 4:43 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

How do you figure

all he does is complain about Salty’s playing time and the fact that its everybody else’s fault except Salty’s when he doesn’t succeed, there are just a couple of you guys that are buddy’s and team up on people

by blueballlefty on Jun 19, 2008 4:31 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

you say

all I do is bash Salty when actually I make plenty of comments about tons of other stuff, but all you ever do is talk about how Salty hung the moon

by blueballlefty on Jun 19, 2008 4:28 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

LSJ comments on everything

everything.

got to admit, LSJ has been laying it on a bit thick about salty lately, but he comments on a lot more than salty and does have good knowledge of the team and farm system so uh.. yeah.

by gossamer on Jun 19, 2008 4:16 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Keep the ball in the IF

and don’t let that run score no matter what. The Rangers didn’t have one of those 4 run leads where you say, just get the outs and don’t let the inning get out of hand. Wright’s job was to come in, and not let the Braves tie things up.

Or.....

you could give the man credit for limiting the damage that CJ had done to himself. Wright did his job people.

by bdavison94 on Jun 19, 2008 4:33 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

The game was tied

He didn’t do his job. Just because he didn’t give up more runs doesn’t mean he did his job. Its the same thing as saying that German would do his job when he gave up a bunch of runs, but none counted against him.

he did his job

a pitcher can rarely control how he gets out. he go the out. asking anything more is just asinine. might as well be upset that hamilton doesn’t hit homers every AB

Rare Gnats Sex

by ab03 on Jun 19, 2008 4:45 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

He was asked

to come into the game and not let that run score. He failed. Its pretty simple actually. If he keeps the ball in the IF, if he gets the DP, if gets the K, any of those work better than a hit that far out in the OF.

By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

by ab03 on Jun 19, 2008 4:49 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah

because a RP who comes into a game at 4-3 and leaves the game at 4-4 didn’t do anything wrong at all.

Well...

You are right that there are a couple of outcomes that could have been better. However, you are asking him to be perfect and that’s just not realistic. We got a very good outcome out of a situation that could have been FAR worse. You’re expectation of perfection is going to make you a very angry baseball fan.

by bdavison94 on Jun 19, 2008 6:02 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I'm asking

a RP to come into the game and get 2 outs without giving up a deep fly ball or a hit. That type of perfection shouldn’t be too much to ask for from a guy who you’re bringing into the game at that time. He can strike hitters out at a decent rate (6.02 Ks/9) and he can work the GBs (3.04 on the season). I’m not demanding he pitch a perfect 9 inning game, just that his job is to not let that runner from 3rd score and he failed.

By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
