I hate Pettite more then any other Yankee.

He seems to always pitch a gem against us.

HOF

If Pettitte goes into the HOF, he better thank the Orioles on his plaque.

I personally like him. He doesn’t seem douchy like the rest. Except Rivera. I like him too. And I also liked Paul O’Neil. Outside of that, if I could punch either Jeter or bin Laden in the nuts, it would be a tough call.

It's also that pick-off move that's somehow legal.

whoever had the ALDS for MFY called it the “greatest balk move in baseball”

Buster Olney doesn't think any of the PED guys will get in.

He was on the BS Report podcast a couple of weeks ago talking playoffs and got on that subject. He said he’ll be voting for all those guys because they were the best players of the era regardless, but he knows too many voters who will never vote for any of the PED guys.

They will never get in

If they did the voting would always be questioned. I personally think that if they used steroids then they dont belong in Cooperstown. Now Pete Rose on the other hand im calling Bud Selig to get his ban lifted.

You been to Cooperstown?

You walk around this museum and look at all these old records and great players that hold them. Then you come upon the home run record. Barry Bonds is at the top with a huge asterisk by his name. It just drives me insane. If you really want them to be in the Hall of Fame get them their own. Name it Baseball Cheaters Hall of Fame.

I remember when he was still a Mariner,

and he was pitching complete games every other games and 8 inning games in-between. I was wondering why he was being kept out so long. Then I was wondering how someone could be awesome enough to do that every start.

Unreal

122 pitches 8 IP 13K’s 2H

I know the Orioles need a power bat but, imagine how pumped the starting rotation would be if they got Cliff Lee, I think the pitching would feed off each other all season long.

by LoveForTheGame13 on Oct 18, 2010 10:48 PM EDT reply actions  

Cliff Lee should learn from his experiences.

Does he want to pitch for a team with such a crappy offense as the Yankees? Or does he want to pitch for a team that dominates him?
