Shapiro is like T-Woods.....he has 2 heads;and a hole in one.

I'm not exactly sure what happened. Shapiro was at his best when we were sellers, not buyers. I can't fathom why they thought we should be buyers this year. I don't know if Shapiro is running it any more or if Antonnetti has full control on these things. Again, I have to think something is wrong with Ubaldo or the rockies wouldn't have dumped him as he is quite cheap for multiple years. It would have been like us trading CC in 2006 rather than 2008, it would have made zero sense. for a guy to have steady progressive improvement for 3 years then fall of the table while under contract and they aggressively seek to dump him is wrong..why would they do that?? I have gone back and forth on it, I am just praying for a miracle is all.

This is fine thinking.

Antonnetti sounds just like Shapiro;silver spoon fed words.Really, he sounds just like him.

How does one get promoted to prez having achieved just about zee-ro?

Trading players you have no hope in resigning in July when you have no hope in contending is easy.The reverse is much tougher .....especially when you have no idea what contending means.

we're gonna show our extreme versatility and try losing 1-0 tonight.

A fine observation....I think Acta can smell it,too.He won't be able to resist pinch hitting with Urns.

Jesus!... do we strike out a lot or what!?

clyde · #5 08-06-2011, 10:07 PM

I hope we have seen the last of the "strike out and run into a double play" sign.

I hate that.

It's officially over a month since we last won a series now. July 4-5-6 Yankees.

Are you reading this ,Shapiro?

Does that spell "contending for the division lead " to you????

My God!...something's wrong with Exhausto.

horseofcourse · #9 08-06-2011, 10:13 PM

Losing a game where Exhausto gives up zero runs would be a fine capper to the season I think. I'm gonna say 1-0 in 16 innings. I'm gonna charter a jet so I can give up the game winning homer in the 16th.
