" He seems like an idiot who happens to have a team with players that happen to be better than the other team's. Whenever I hear him speak, I swear I could see him staring off into space as he stammers."
And LOL @ you getting mad. I didn't say anything for you to get upset at. 😆
I'm not upset, I couldn't care less, really. The thing is that you mentioned his stuttering for some reason. That's when I figured this conversation wasn't worth it (yet here I am wasting time on it, LOL). Stammering does not mean stuttering. Stammering is like having a hard time coming up with words mentally, whereas stuttering is having trouble getting them out physically. Believe me, I grew up with that crap... it sucks. I've never had trouble thinking of what to say though.

He's not having a hard time coming up with words though, he is just having trouble getting it out.
Stammering, stuttering, same thing. 😆 😛
The thing about this team is, they didn't even play good the whole Playoffs. Their hitting was not what it was in the regular season, Howard wasn't Howard, Utley and the whole lineup struggling to score runs, Burrell got his first hit of the World Series in Game 5, yet we still only lost 3 games in the whole playoffs. The only thing that was consistant was the the pitching, which was amazing throughout the playoffs. I'm hoping this team can contend for years to come.
CAN'T WAIT FOR THE PARADE!

Congrats to the Phillies and their fans.Glad to see my boy Howard get his ring early so he doesn't have to ring chase later in his career like Griffey or Bonds.
Bonds and Griffey waited far too long if that was there plan. Griffey knew long ago to leave Cinci if he wanted a ring and Bonds never left SF. Id like to see Griffey get his, seeing as without injuries hed of been the best player ever.
Mad props to Lidge for 0 Blow Saves all year, pretty incredible.

Just to rain on the parade a bit arnt the Phillies still the biggest losers in sports history?
126 years and not being good every year will do that. 10,000 losses divided by 126 years is an average 79 losses a year.
I would rather have 10,000 losses in the distant past than be the 2nd worst team in the league NOW after expectations of the playoffs *COUGH*mariners*COUGH*.
Yea im going with both the Padres AND Nationals are worse. (i dont care about records, the NL (especially the west) was a joke that should count for something lol) Also we did finis the year as the hottest team in the AL, check out that 3 game win streak to finish it up it was the longest streak to finish the year!
In all reality this is a dead year for Seattle sports. Mariners total collapse (no faith in that franchise anyway) Seahawks should open up a hospital rather than a team with their injuries and teh defense should kill itself for being terrible with no excuses, and the Sonics, well I havnt liked them since the days of detlef shrimp, hersey hawkins, the glove, and the coke head, but now they are gone anyway.
But for another useless stat (because we choked it away) While philly has the most losses ever the M's do hold the most wins in a season ever.
Really though I see no future for them they dont keep their talent. This is a team that had Griffey in his prime and brought up Arod and watched them both leave the year after they watched randy johnson leave then managed to have the best year of any team ever the NEXT season. (and thats only a small portion of the talent they had and let leave) Imagine if they simply kept some of the talent ah well they are doomed.
The Silva signing and the Bedard trade has severely crippled the franchise. They need to scrap it and start from scratch. Trade Ichiro, Beltre, and Putz, as they are at peak value right now. They should have traded Ibanez mid-season and gotten some prospects. Terrible front office there, hopefully Zduriencik will change it up and have patience.
