    Wandy is probably the worst pitcher to have a winning record since our very own Jerome/Jeromie/Jeremy whatever it was, Robertson.

    He sucks!

    Sampson goes down, & HE stays?


    bollocks.

    Do you mean back in 2004 (or was it '03?) when he was added to the 40-man? Not sure.

    Rhetorical question.

    Help me out here, it seems like a complete non sequitur to me. I seriously can't find one similarity.

    Comparing Koby callup to Wandy callup. Koby necessitates a roster move, Wandy callup did not. Thus, "who was dropped from the 40-man to make room for Wandy?", pointing out the differing situations.

    That's how I read it, at least. Sometimes I read good.

    You read it correctly. Two entirely different scenarios.

    so they're 3 games out of the wild card with just over a month to play...and they're gonna let the hometown legend go on waivers.

    man, i'm sorry...i just don't see it.

    I wonder what calling Koby up would do to the relationship he has with the players he is going to have to play with in the minors...

    I don't know if he would want the reputation of only being there because of who is dad is... and putting the idea in player's minds that .. they have no chance if they play his position because he is going to end up in the majors because of who is dad is...

    I mean it's not like he is in AAA or even AA ball.... where you can say he is ready and should be moved up...

    I hope everyone maximizes the opportunity to rub salt in your wounds Saturday at 0:00:01.

    Good grief, that has to be the tiredest crap on the Internet. It does not strengthen anyone's argument. (this mini-rant directed at the stupid rolleyes crap and the thousands who employ it in support of their lame-assed arguments, not at jgreen)

    Never in a million years would I advocate or even believe that would happen.I wasn't including Clemens in the equation.

    Sorry guy.
    I'm just hoping we can pick up somebody to help shoulder the load from here on in.

    I was kinda hoping we'd go after David Wells. Guess Pupura didn't want competition at the pre-game buffet.

    Fat jokes...they're so fresh.
