Re: 2009 MLB Thread, Part II: Claimed Off The Waiver Wire

I can't think of the last time I watched something on ESPN that wasn't a live sporting event or 30 at 30.

With horrible taste in women. Don't forget that.
It's interesting: I dislike ESPN because they don't care about hockey. That's pretty much it for me...

But they're going to cover the Winter Classic this year!

See why the whole pro-Sox thing just seems to happen on its own?

Because neither knew what they were talking about. Do you miss Rob Dibble too?

I miss the dan patrick radio show days with Dibble...him and is stories...crazy...although i do thoroughly enjoy the current version of the dp show...

Considering their Spygate obsession and their great love of Kobe Jesus, it would be nice if they threw the city a bone...

Me too. One of the best radio shows ever.

I watch just about everyday on the 101 on DirecTV. It's nice to see the behind-the-scenes stuff, watch Dan play golf and shoot hoops...and the Wall of Morale is nice too.

1 year of Cliff Lee or 5 of Roy Halladay. I'll take the longer option, but I'd really like to have both for the 1 year to actually improve the rotation instead of just one spot... oh well.

Yes, that'd just be silly.

Barring injury, he's going to put up HUGE numbers next year. Imagine not having to pitch to Boston and the Yankees 1/3 of his starts and getting to pitch to the Mets, Braves, and Nationals instead.

I'd be shocked if he posted fewer than 20 wins and an ERA over 3.5

ESPN.com names Sidney Ponson the worst pitcher of the 90s

Of the 90s? Can he be named the worst pitcher of the 00's too! He's certainly earned it.

****, you caught that like three minutes before I noticed it and was going to edit it.

The issue is that Lee will do the same. On the field results wise, I think Lee and Halladay are essentially a wash.

However, getting the extension done with Halladay, and the $6M from Toronto, I think the Phils came out ahead. The prospects they gave up (Drabek, D'Arnaud, Taylor) are all better than what they are getting (Aumont has had injury problems and is very raw, Gilles is fast but didn't hit for power in the best hitting park in the minors, and Ramirez isn't elite), though.

He just had to be first in line for the post-game spread.

Re: 2009 MLB Thread, Part II: Claimed Off The Waiver Wire

Well, judging by the way he pitched, he was usually able to get started in the 3rd inning. Unless he faced the Tigers, in which case he usually threw a 2-hitter.

NBC doesnt have the Winter Classic again?

They do, but ESPN is actually sending people to cover it in Boston this year which is different than how they've done things the last two years.

Due to it not being in Boston the first two years. Since ESPN cares as much about hockey as they do preschool badminton.

Of course if the game was in New York City, the mother ship would ignore it completely.
