Why? The two aren't even close to comparable?

you want me to justify a feeling?

Not really. Just seemed kinda strange to evoke somebody who never had any success at the major league level when thinking about a guy who beat out another guy we are all drooling over for the Cy Young last season.

14,000 posts later, it is clear that my greatest accomplishment on this board is linking a picture of Kirk Van Houten. I can't argue.

I dunno, bringing 40s to the tailgate was rather epic

so Arroyo to Yanks
Lee and VMart to Sox

and we're in the clear.

Where'd you get that from?

Write that down on a slip of paper.

They're not.

Rube's best strategy tonight may be to pull Drabek from his scheduled start and mention that "something is in the works." It just might get JP to cave in his demands.

I use a similar sexual strategy with my wife.

How's that working for you?

Lauber reports that Ruben Amaro, Scott Proefrock, Benny Looper, Chuck Lamar, and Mike Ondo are all with the team in Phoenix.

If that's the case JPR clearly isn't serious about dealing him OR thinks he can get better and will look like an ass when he can't

I don't think that's the case. He made an offer, and at this point he really has no reason to back off of it..................yet.
