World Series.

Yeah, Soriano's ability to hit 40 homers, 40 doubles, and get 40 steals is going to be just like Burrell's skill-set.


F'ing idiot.

He has hit 40 homers once in his career.  I think he is going to do it again for a few more years, but there is a very good chance the guy is going to blow (possibly worse than Burrell, probably not) in the last years of his contract.                         

Your inability to recognize this is amusing though. 

If you want to make any kind of bet about this with serious cash involved I am all for it. 

Your inability to kill yourself is disappointing.  Try harder, troll. 

Or I dont want to kill myself.  Hey how bout that. 

Troll?  I am the one stating facts and you are the one responding with self censored curse words, which is totally ballin' by the way.

[Rome]

You're the one insisting that Burrell is in any way preferable to Soriano.

That simply isn't true.

[mpmcgraw]

No, I am insisting that Soriano is not worth the contract he is going to get and we are just putting ourselves in another Burrell-like situation down the line when we will need to sign Howard, Utley, Myers etc...

I have repeatedly stated that Soriano is better than Burrell.

[Sgt PSN]

I have repeatedly stated that Soriano is better than Burrell.

You're lying.  Not about stating that Soriano is better than Burrell.  But that you believe it.

[mpmcgraw]

Are you retarded?

The guy will probably be better than Burrell for the rest of their careers.  But in the last years of his deal there is a  good chance he will produce less than what the current Burrell is producing and for more money.

I was saying that you are going to really hate Soriano in the latter years of his contract.  Not that Burrell was a better option. 

[ice grillin you]

hahaha...what the hell does this mean

in seven years theres a chance soriano will be worse than burrell is now?

how is that relevant in any way

wouldnt you rather compare what soriano will do now vs what burrell will do now

i was the first one on the dont get soriano bandwagon but your idiocy almost makes me wanna change my mind

[mpmcgraw]

Well it's not a good chance that Soriano will be worse than Burrell is now, it's a certainty, but I wanted to put it lightly.

I just love how people cant see how bad of a deal this is going to be.  If he signs here for that kind of money and length he is going to be one of the most hated players in the history of the city.

I just like pointing stuff like this out.


So, where exactly did you get that Moyer number that wasnt even close to being right?

[Rome]

You're a complete farging idiot.

Please shut the farg up.

[mpmcgraw]

You're a complete farging idiot.

Please shut the farg up.

Why?  Because I am being Dr. Killjoy?

It's not my fault that Soriano has put up a .900 OPS exactly as many times as Rowand and Burrell have.

[ice grillin you]

Well it's not a good chance that Soriano will be worse than Burrell is now

im still trying to figure out why that matters...what does soriano in 2012 have to do with burrell in 2007

i read the numbers wrong on moyer....but it doesnt change the fact that hes older than dirt...but of course moyer at 45 this year means little especially when we should all be so worried that will be 38 in 2013

btw why is it a certainty that soriano at 38 not even that old in baseball to have good years left will be worse than burrell now who is about as bad as one can get

[ice grillin you]

You're a complete farging idiot.

Please shut the farg up.

yep

hes the bunkley78/king cole of baseball

meaning hes on lifetime ignore for me (starting now)

[mpmcgraw]

Well it's not a good chance that Soriano will be worse than Burrell is now

im still trying to figure out why that matters...what does soriano in 2012 have to do with burrell in 2007

It is going to be almost exactly the same situation.  That's all I am saying. 

btw why is it a certainty that soriano at 38 not even that old in baseball to have good years left will be worse than burrell now who is about as bad as one can get

You will see.                                           

I can lay out the numbers, but you generally scoff at them.  As I said to Romey I am up for a bet involving Soriano's future production...

[Rome]

You're a complete farging idiot.

Your only reason for posting the bullshtein you do is to annoy everyone.

I'm done responding to your drivel.  If you want to provoke people do it somewhere else and preferably not the EMB.
