Posted Monday September 24, 2007, About: Was Bears' Benson benched?

It was not even a fumble by Benson, he was clearly down when the ball popped out , even though he was covered you could see that way the play ended.-He got 2+ yards for the first down and was under the pile, the pile went down, there was a slight pause and than a scramble. The replay showed his elbow down and his body but it was too inconclusive to overturn. Benson was running fine in the first half but Grossman stalled the offense time and time again and the Cowboys stacked the box.

Chicago sports fans are wet noodles,wimps, and imbeciles- they are all over Benson without giving him a chance at all.- when they get off the guys back and let him reach a comfort zone with his new teamates and offensive line they will realize they might have an elite power back. Power backs take a little while longer to get going but Bears fans are too dumb to realize this so **** hard after 1 game and increase the media scrutiny until he leaves town and flourishs on another team.

Thomas Jones was a bust for 5 years before he hit his stride with a very good offensive line, he is known as an injury prone trouble maker that looks good because he jukes a lot, he is also 30 years old and on the downside. The Chargers D might be the best unit in football this year all together and nobody is better against the run, they have allowed about 5 100 yard rushers in about 3 seasons. Replace Benson because he fumbled with Adrian Peterson 2 who also fumbled? How dumb and whiney are Bears fans??? Running neck and neck with lowlife Yankee fans! If your looking for a patsy in Chicago, look no furthur than vanilla Ron Turner who left Devin Hester and Garrett Wolfe cold against SD.Cedric Benson is going to be a BEAST, his career path mirrors LJ who was labeled public enemy #1 because of Priest Holmes. Cedric Benson is like one of those big 18 wheelers on the highway that takes a little time to get rolling and once it gets going nothing is going to stop it.
Bunch of babies and whiney school girls in Chicago, get off Bensons back because you will all be J'ing off to his posters by week 4.

Posted Friday July 13, 2007, About: Yankees give A-Rod ultimatum

The only reason the Yankees were able to beat the Red Sox 5 games last year was because the Sox were decimated by injuries. Guess what? The Red Sox came out the gate this year and took the first 5 games including a sweep. The Yankees were injured as well but they got paid back for the 2006 massacre big time this year and that is a big reason the Yankees are 10 back. Its just like the LCS in 03 which the Yankees won in 7 games. The Sox came back the next year and caused the biggest choke job in sports history in the LCS 04. The Yankees only advantage over the Sox is in payroll, if the Yankees and Red Sox played with the same dollar to dollar , the Red Sox would absolutely destroy the money bought fraud Yankees. Anything the Yankees do to the Sox, they get it right back from the Sox. Considering that the Sox usually play with less payroll year in and year out( this year the difference 100 million, Yankees 240 million vs. Red Sox 140 million, you really have to give the Sox the credit as the better team with way more heart.

Posted Friday July 13, 2007, About: Yankees give A-Rod ultimatum

For three seasons Arod was labled a scourge by everybody(fans, mgmt, media) in the pathetic Yankee universe. Now that he is having a great year, all the ingrate front runners which are basically 98% of Yankee fans love the guy. Thats fine, thats how it works basically in sports. But I do believe all you dellusional Yankee fans who think this teams success is about everything BUT money are really really detached. After all the attacks and abuse on A-Rod (and on his family) do you think he will not opt out and throw all his leverage in the toilet because the Yankees suddenly feel it is time to negotiate in "good faith"???? LOLOLOLOLOLOL- Arod will NOT waive his no trade and Arod will NOT extend his contract without opting out. You pawns will wait until after the season to negotiate and you pawns will wait until after he OPTs OUT!!! If you want him, you are going to pay it ALL and BIG!Arod and Boras have the Yankees bent over and ready, puddy in their hands. Maybe if you ingrates treated the guy better, he would negotiate in "good faith" but really why would he, why should he after the way he and his family were treated?- Should have thought of the consequences when you clowns were being nasty and abusive- there will be no favors, home town discounts, or "good faith" deals now, how do you feel?
Arod owns the Yankees now, without him they are dead. Arod is the face of the Yankees now, not Jeter, who has been made to look a pixie stick female soft ball player compared the Arod in same line up. AROD is OPTING OUT and you pawns will LIKE IT!

shunned by captainan of team,Boo the guy to death, spread filth about him in the media, invade his private life, mess up his family life, scrutinize his wife and then expect him to throw all leverage he has in his contract negotiations out the window because YOUUUUU say so?

You ingrates will wait until the end of the season and you will negotiate with me after I OPT OUT and YOU WILL LIKE IT because without me your team is DEAD!

Posted Friday July 13, 2007, About: Yankees give A-Rod ultimatum

The Yankees are the only team in baseball that pays luxury tax, the only team! The pay 40 million in luxury tax! Every free agent they sign costs more than reported thats why they signed Igawa rather than Lilly or Meche because the luxury tax would have made those insane signings out worldish to the gluttonous pig Yankees, with Igawa they paid no luxury tax so they werte content to sign a BUST. No other team pays any luxury tax, the Yankees pay 40 million LOL- Still think there is no difference between teams like the Red Sox, Mets, and Yankees? Yankee fans dont know or act like they dont, it dont matter they are all in denial anyway about the fact that their teams success has been bought time and time again.The Yankees never bring it up because it just shows you how classless and glutonous they are.

Posted Friday July 13, 2007, About: Yankees give A-Rod ultimatum

There are big market teams and then their are the gluttonous pig Yankees. Dont get it confused by listing the Red Sox and every other teams big free agency signings, like that means anything to a team that buys each and every inch of their success. The Yankees spend and spend and spend heads and tails more than any other team. Until the Red Sox, Mets, Dodgers, Angels, Cubs, White Sox, Mariners and other 100 million dollar payroll teams spend as much or more than the greedy pig Yankees there is no comparison to make. Feeble minded Yankee fans that live in denial about the fact that if it wasnt for the Yankees money that they would be re building right now. If the Yankee payroll was even or on par with any team mentioned they would be in LAST PLACE. Here is it folks, the Yankees have a 200 million dollar payroll and pay 40 million dollars in luxury tax, that my friends is a 240 million dollar payroll, just like it was last year. That 240 million dollar payroll is at least 100 million more than the Red Sox which means that the Yankees have a payroll that is at least 100 million more, or 100-200 million more than every other team in the league!!! The Yankees are the Paris Hilton's of baseball, without their daddy's money they are nothing special at all, with it, you constantly have to see their faces. The Yankees have a slight pulse this year only because of their money and thats it. A-Rod by the way is opting out no matter and the Yankees are going to have to pay him 30 million per year and YOU WILL LIKE IT because he owns you now!

Posted Wednesday June 20, 2007, About: Struggling Marlins could deal Willis

Clippard, Henn, Disalvo, Wright, Rasner, Karstens=Garbage!
Humberto Sanchez=damaged goods straight up for Sheffield=dumb yuppie GM Cashman(he might have handed the Tigers the pennant)
Any team that takes any of the garbage Yankees pitchers listed above is beyond stupid, smoking crack,and is probably getting cash under the table.
Hughes is the real deal though, they would be fools to trade him, but the Yankee GM is a toolshed so you never know.There are reports that Willis is having arm problems- he has a + 300 avg. against right hand hitters this year FYI.

Posted Wednesday June 20, 2007, About: Girardi front-runner after O's interview

Highly respected baseball man Andy Macphail has taken over as the CEO of the Orioles. Without him I doubt Girardi would accept this job.
Macphail and Girardi may be able to turn Baltimore around very, very fast.

Posted Wednesday June 20, 2007, About: Yankees targeting D-Rays' roster?

D-rays beware, Henn is garbage.

Posted Wednesday June 20, 2007, About: Red Sox to shut down Schillling?

The definition of CHOKE is having a fully healthy 240 million dollar team(200 million payroll + 40 million luxury tax) give up a 3-0 lead and lose 4 games in a row in the ALCS. Everything else is everything else.......

Posted Wednesday June 20, 2007, About: Helton won't rule out Yankees move

The Yankees have no position players worth anything in the minors, the only name you hear is Tabata and always remember that the Yankees over blow their prospects and they turn out to be average or just plain crap. Anybody remember all the hype about Eric Duncan? Teams know he is a fraud and that is why he is stuck in the minors for years now.
The Yankees have a bunch of pitchers in their system and their PR department is in full spin mode portraying each and every one as a cy young candidate but in reality they are all overated garbage that look good for 1-2 starts because hitters are unfamiliar with them. After scouts get a nice report on them and some video, teams start lighting them up. Disalvo,Clippard,Rasner,Karstens,Henn,Wright= GARBAGE. Great trade by Cashman by the way, Sheffield for " highly touted" Humberto Sanchez- who is out for the year with Tommy John. Anyway Peter Gammons stated last night that the Rockies have a pretty decent team that is tight knit and will keep Helton where he is. Helton also has a huge contract that will be hard to move. With Arod, Posada, and Rivera all free agents at seasons end they will pay out huge money along with ugly contracts like Pavano,Giambi, Damon. Do the Yankees really want to take on Heltons 80 million?

Posted Monday June 18, 2007, About: Giants don't rule out trading Bonds

Barry Bonds for Pat Burrell...mark it down....eeeeeee ahhhhhhhh!

Posted Monday June 18, 2007, About: Giants don't rule out trading Bonds

He would be a prefect fit for the Yankees. Most of their players and their manager, and their GM- have benefitted from enhanced payroll performance. A lot of their players have benefitted from enhanced drug performance. Bonds would be a perfect fit IMO eeeeeee awwwwww.

Posted Monday June 18, 2007, About: Yanks' 3B plan if A-Rod bolts

Cashman neither has the guts or the brains to pull off a trade in which he has to give something of value up in return. He is the maggot of MLB gm's-he waits around for salary dump trades and basically does straight money deals disguised as trades and gives little back in terms of player value- he has no skills as a MLB Gm.

Posted Monday June 18, 2007, About: What Phillies can offer for Lidge

Lots of rumors of the Mets possibly trading for Brad Lidge.

Posted Monday June 18, 2007, About: Ozzie sounds ready to deal

Lots of rumors about Buerle to the Mets.

Posted Monday June 18, 2007, About: Yankees ask Angels about Hillenbrand

The Yankees were interested in Hillebrand in the off season but passed. He may be struggling but he is a good bat to fit into a lineup. Of course the Yankees with a 200 million dollar payroll + 40 million in luxury tax = 240 million dollar payroll for 2007 would want Texeira as well and continue to make excuses that their success is based on everything BUT the money. But Texeira will cost a bunch of prospects and maybe Melky, makes about 8-10 million this year, and is eligible for arbitration in which his salary will increase or double. As a Scott Boras client he will also test free agency for sure. Considering that the Yankees will have to resign A-Rod after he opts out to about 25-20 million per, have to resign Posada, and have to resign Rivera, the Yankees will be spending major money next year before they even sign one free agent. Also consider that Karstens, Rasner, Clippard, Disalvo, Wright, Henn have all been exposed as overated garbage pitchers and the Yankees have a lot of overated pitchers with diminshed trade value and absolutely no position players worth a crapola to trade.

Posted Thursday June 14, 2007, About: Angels want Orioles' Tejada

The Angels have the most complete team in baseball right now, hands down- if they add Tejada they will be very hard to stop.

Posted Thursday June 14, 2007, About: Giambi's choice: Talk or get banned

The only reason Selig is going through with this at all is because his master Steinbrenner gave him the ok to do so. Why? Because the Yankees are tired of Giambi's act and play. If Giambi was a productive player, I doubt Giambi would even be on the DL right now and Selig would not have the OK from his master Steinbrenner to go on this Giambi witch hunt. The Yankees want Giambi on the DL, and they want him suspended. Definately dont want him back this year if they can help it. Although he is owed about 25 million next year with option buyout Im sure the Yankees would trade him next year and pick up a good part of his salary if they can by this year.
No worries though, Bud "door to door vacum" Salesman is MLBPA's personal walking mat and is simply posturing and smoke screening the blame for this steroids fiasco away from where it truly belongs, on his shoulders.
