Re: Deal done: 260 plus million to LA, Loney and people to Boston
Try what? To be the Yankees or spend money? The A's have tried to spend money (Beltre and Furcal come to mind as recent examples). They can't make players sign with them. The A's must be trying a little since they're doing better than more than a couple teams lol.
Re: Deal done: 260 plus million to LA, Loney and people to Boston
Right. Because Beckett can only help the Dodgers this year, therefore I'm obviously rooting for the Gnats. :rolleyes:
Re: Deal done: 260 plus million to LA, Loney and people to Boston
Did you also have a "bad" feeling that Hunter Pence is going to help the Giants this year?
Re: Deal done: 260 plus million to LA, Loney and people to Boston
Frankly I don't give a shit who wins the NL West this year because it's not going to be the Padres.
Re: Deal done: 260 plus million to LA, Loney and people to Boston
Still doesn't explain why it pisses you off that the Dodgers are taking a huge gamble on Beckett, but not the Gnats getting Hunter Pence for jack shit, but okay...
Re: Deal done: 260 plus million to LA, Loney and people to Boston
Right. I obviously wasn't drawn to this discussion because the Dodgers also got Adrian.
Re: Deal done: 260 plus million to LA, Loney and people to Boston
Had the Giants got Adrian, you San Diego fans would have applauded that Adrian is closer to home than he would have been had he been traded to LA.
Re: Deal done: 260 plus million to LA, Loney and people to Boston
Had he been traded back to the Padres you Dodgers fans would have immediately denounced your fanhood and became Padres fans on the spot.
Re: Deal done: 260 plus million to LA, Loney and people to Boston
Why would Dodgers fans ever think of becoming Padres fans? Hell, even people who grew up in San Diego don't want to be one (see Hamels, Cole).
Re: Deal done: 260 plus million to LA, Loney and people to Boston
Exactly. Makes about as much sense as Padres fans having some fabricated affinity towards the Giants.
Re: Deal done: 260 plus million to LA, Loney and people to Boston
Re: Deal done: 260 plus million to LA, Loney and people to Boston
Hating the Dodgers more than the other 3 division rivals doesn't equate to actually liking the other three.
And I've always been on record that I go against the grain of most Padres fans because I hate the Giants more than I hate the Dodgers.
Although you do make it kind of easy to root against LA.

Obviously because you have a personal vendatta with me for having trashed your favorite football team (also likely to be LA's home team in a year or two) and your draft god A.J. Smith.
