[Sensei Of Mattitude]

Andruw Jones is not what he once was but he is still pretty damn good. Magglio has a bum knee.

If it happens, I dont know who would play ChiSox RF, but JD Drew moves to CF and Mags plays RF for ATL

[The Outlaw]

Fuck that. I'd rather have Druw.

[BCWWF]

Wasn't it Andruw and Russ Ortiz? Or just Andruw? (I think thats how you spell his name)


Anyway, I think they're better off with Magglio than anybody else. But meh.

Andruw Jones is a stud. Can't trade him.

Yanks just pounded Boston 11-3.

Giambi and his roided body fell apart again today I understand.

HEY, how are those Jays doing? I heard Joe Carter Bobblehead night was a smash

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Red Sox played like shit

All the radio stations around here are starting to bash Millar

I predict if he wasn't such a "clubhouse" guy he would be long gone, he is a liability out in the field. No matter where you put him...ridiculous

[The Outlaw]

Weak.

At first it was Mag for Russ, but since the Sox received Garcia, tha talks shifted from Ortiz to Andruw.

I dunno, Andruw can hit and play defense considering he has what, 6 gold gloves? Magglio is a stud at the plate but isn't that great in the field. Plus there's 4 years difference I think.

Dunno, I'd still want Andruw.

Not to sound like a jackass, but I can't stand that guy Milar. He just looks like an ass. Wasn't he the guy that started that whole "Cowboy Up" thing?

I think I'd rather have Magglio then Jones, but Jones has been a Brave all his career, so I see where your coming from.

What does this have to do with the fact Giambi hasn't done a thing in two years? Except spend time on the DL.

WHAT? OKAY. First of all, last year he played 156 games and hit 41 homers and 107 RBI's. In 2002, he played 155, hit .314 and 41 homers. This year has been slow, but the year is not finished yet. Saying he hasn't done anything in two years because he was on the DL is ridiculous. You're just making stuff up.

Last year, except for the end of the season, he sucked. His avg. at the end of the year was something like .250 And this year he has what? 11 HR's?

How much is he making per year again?

Alright, so it's one year then, not two. Every good player has thier bad years. Yiu can't expect big numbers sometimes. Tejada had a bad year last year after he won the MVP. Thta's how things go.

140 strike outs last year to boot.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

What exactly happed with Giambi? What did he "hurt"

I was counting last year and this year. That's two.

I doubt very much he'll do anything this year eithr. He's hitting like .235, has seen his OBP. drop like a stone and is simply blown up. I suspect by the end of next season, he'll be gone from NY

All I heard Stima was he was admitted to the hospital. I didn't catch the details.

HOW is that 2 years? This year isn't over yet. And he had a .527 Slugging last year and .430 OBP. That's not bad at all.

[Dragon]

They said he had some stomach virus or something making him too weak to play.

[Dragon]

Intestinal parasites apparently.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

The Reds are sucking a big fat penis these days. Tomorrow is Sean Casey bobblehead day and he might not play.

That's it I'm rooting for Oakland

Those numbers are inflated due to who he is and where he plays. He had better production as an A. Considering the lineup he know bats in, there is no way he should have lesser numbers now than before. Even in his first season in NY, his production, except for HR and strike outs totals, has dropped.

METS VS REDS SUPREME

YOU ARE ON ALA LETS MAKE A BET

[OssMan]

also Mets beat Reds last night

Yeah, you have to understand though. When guys, especially stars/power hitters from another team, come to NY, thier numbers drop off. Giambi was not the only star when he arrived in NY, and he ceratinly is not the only one this year. It's hard to adjust when you are not "the man" anymore. And look at A-ROD this year, he started slow and he's not doing as well as he did last year with Texas. But I still don't know why I'm arguing this. He had one bad year, THAT'S it. We aren't even at the all-star break yet, let's finish the season first.

[The Outlaw]

Yeah as much as I hate to agree with a Yankee fan, this is as close as it gets.

BTW:

Jun 30 First baseman Jason Giambi, dropped to seventh in the order as his batting average has dipped to .237, was diagnosed with an intestinal parasite. "It's not something you want to hear, but at the same time, it makes you feel good that they finally know what's going on," Giambi told Newsday. "It makes you understand why you've been getting jammed by pitchers throwing 88 miles per hour all over the place." Giambi has been vomiting and feeling weak for the past three weeks. He told Newsday that while he hasn't lost weight despite loss of appetite because he still consumes protein drinks, the illness limited his time in the weight room. "What I'm excited about is that at least we know the reason why and I can fix it," Giambi said. "It's been so hard for me just to get up for the games and it's gotten progressively worse."

The undisclosed parasite, which Giambi likely got from contaminated food or water, is being treated with antibiotics. Team doctors have told Giambi he can return to the lineup once he regains his strength, which could be as early as Wednesday.

Sons of bitches

Bases loaded, no outs...nothing Bullshit called 3rd strike, but still that's no excuse. How can you not score any runs with the bases load and no outs?

Disgusting

[Dragon]

Nomar with another error. Their defense has really struggled this series.

I don't really follow the Sox games unless they are playing the Yankees, are they always this bad defensively?

[Evil Vito]

Mets jobbed to the Reds today

lol at Ortiz thinking the ball went right through his glove.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Nomars error wasnt THAT bad but the errors have really hurt them this series. Usually isn't this bad.

Ortiz should of scooped that Nomar throw. It was a tough play to make anyway.

[Champion of Europa]

After watching the Yankees vs. Red Sox game, I think I like the Red Sox better, even though the Yankees are the better team.

Johnny Damon is the freakin' man. Although Ortiz fucked up, he is the man as well. Manny failed to impress me, though.

[Dragon]

Good game with the Sox and Yankees so far.

Crazy play by Jeter.

4-4 14th inning.

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

FUCK

SWEEP. 5-4 YANKS. And today is another reason why I can't stand fk'n Pedro. I give him complete respect on being a great picture, but was it neccesary to hit Shef. I mean, I understand Pedro geting pissed at Sheff for calling time twice, but you don't hit a guy for that. Come up and in fine, but don't blatanly fk'n hit him.

But nice plays by Reese and then Jeter

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Veritek staring down that guy when he tried to sweep his legs was gangsta

Fuckin pissed about the game though. Why the fuck can't the Sox score runs
