Congratulations Jamie, Doyle.

And I guess Dobber too.

And the other two dozen former Mariners that Pat Gillick has collected.

If Griffey didn't "deserve" a ring, Snelling sure in the hell doesn't either.
Doyle was outrighted

he’s not on the team

He'll still get one
Of course he doesn't

But he did more for a WS winning team than Griffey ever did.

Doyle deserves one for just being Doyle.
He wasn't on the 25 man, FWIW
No shit
At least Griffey was an active member of the ChiSox
And Doyle was more valuable to the Phillies.
Jamie does though

I’m happy for him alone

Wooo!!

Red Sox don’t win!

Yes I’m still happy about the ALCS.

Seems like so long ago that Ryan Zimmerman walked off in DC.
Or that I was freezing my ass off at the top of the 300 level on opening day.
I remember the hope most of all.

And the frozen snot.

Portland ----> Seattle -----> Spokane

is not a drive I’d want to make daily

I was so excited to finally watch a game in the snow
That was friggin' COLD wasn't it...

Sorta ironic how we complained about Cleveland’s snow and then it snowed on us in LF…

don't forget

T. J. Bohn

Is that you T.J. Bohn?
This seems allot like what Seattle would have felt like in 01.
I still say we should have traded for Ryan Howard
We're just going to sign him as a free agent instead
At least we'll get his .240/.310/.500 years
And gold glove DH defence
That'll bump Vlad to left field

in his age 37 season

In short

The Phillies should sell high

How old's he now?
42 in baseball years
Howard or Burrell?

decisions, decisions.

Why choose?
Because we're us?
Burrell would be a perfect fit for the Mariners

he takes pitches

And his defense is stellar. Out of this world.
I have recently have had this explained why it would be a terrible idea
I want Matthew's opinion.
It would be retarded is Matthew's opinion
I think I'd like for him to consider the matter and get back to me.
J/M/G have already debated this

Except it wasn’t a debate because we all think it’s retarded

you mean this wasn't a joke thread?
I'm dead serious

maybe his opinion has changed since August

Burrell is a 2 WAR player in the NL

And his marginal value lies in his being a right handed pull hitter.

The National League is the superior league

as evidenced by a 91 win team trouncing a 97 win team in the toughest division

Nope.

Burrell isn’t bad, but he’s going to warrant far too much money for a player that’s basically a right handed Raul Ibanez.

He draws more walks

I bet he could teach Ichiro some patience

I think you're in the wrong thread.
I couldn't tell whether Graham was serious or not

so I ramped up the stupidity

I couldn't tell if you were serious or not

This was a weird thread.

oh yeah!

sign ’em both up!

We traded them Moyer anyway
Please be smart, Zduriencik
Cole Hamels luvs Jamie
Who doesn't love Jamie?
talking to Gammons

Hamels launched into a paeon about how Moyer had helped his mental game

I heard Hamels didn't know what pitching was until Jaime taught him everything he knows.
yup.

he just took that ball and flung it.

Just like Jamie did with Gil Mech- oh wait
the other pitcher has to actually listen and learn ...

correct, Grasshopper?

I dunno, why the hell are you asking me?
It's not Jamie's fault he was pitching stupid
Gil Meche was retarded though, and even Jaime couldn't teach him anything.
Hurray for Jamie!!!

Even if he didn’t get his ring as an M, I’m very happy for him.

And I’m sure the Rays will be in it again next year, they’ve got a strong organization that should let them contend for a while.

It's only the beginning for the Rays!

Whereas Jamie-who knows how much longer he’s got….could be a year, could be a couple, or this could’ve been his last full year. I am happy for him-he deserves it!

Well, let's say this Twinkie represents the normal amount of talent in Seattle

 Based on this morning’s reading, Tampa would be a Twinkie thirty-five feet long, weighing approximately six hundred pounds.

I'm happy for Jamie

and I like the Phillies home red uniforms.

Ultimately, everyone wins

Philly gets their ring, and Tampa’s going to have a great team for the next several years.

Well really no

just Philly wins

Thank you Ric Romero.
Someone had to say it
I want to find your response hilarious
A twinkie?

I didn’t know Brian Regan read this blog!!!

I'm just glad the Phanatic finally got a ring
that'll help him pull the ladies
He deserved it most of all.
Jamie Moyer just shows that if you stay in a career long enough somebody will hand you an award.
Karl Malone is still waiting on his.

Or for baseball relevance, Bill Buckner (played over 20 years!).

Poetic justice

is served in the fact that Karl Malone never got a ring.

Patrick Ewing

He played a lot of playoff series but he lost a lot of playoff series too.

So I went to Deanna's blog in hope of finding some exultation of some sort.

Nada. But I was reminded of how cool her blog is and how much I wish I had been a more active LL participant during the Deanna heydey. Deanna is awesome (even when you’re lurking) and so is her blog.
