Here we go with Scott Linebrink again....can we finally trade him and be done with it?

No......he's worth exactly shit now........this is what I've been screaming about for two years now.......this guy could have gotten us a player, now he might not be worth a top tier comp pick

[padrefanforever]

Bring back Nevin!!!

Thats funny........I suggested that two months ago

[JayDawg27]

I suggested it before the season started and was lamblasted on the other forum...

[padrefanforever]

Well that's the other forum for you.........look at the way some are still defending that clown Linebrink ?

[HollywoodLeo]

For who? Here's my idea....

Move him to Houston as part of a package for Jason Jennings/Mark Loretta/Mike Lamb.

Accoring to the Houston Chronicle...

"Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: Mark Loretta and one of the relievers will probably get shipped off for an outfielder and a third baseman. They'll be looking for prospects who will be able to help them for the next couple of years" (possibly Branyan/Cruz Jr or Sledge?)

When asked what the Astros could get for Loretta....

Jose_de_Jesus_Ortiz: I know the Mets are interested. I'm sure there are others. They could probably get a second-tier prospect for him right now.

Can the Padres only move a "second-tier" prospect for Loretta? If that's the case, you can move Linebrink in a bigger deal for another bat.

Do you really think they'd want him with the way he's been pitching?

I mean, sure, if they (Houston) would take that deal then I'm for it....I just kind of doubt it.

Lighten up, yeah it sucks our team is going down faster than a dime store hooker, but hell man, my kids are healthy, my wife is sexy, I have a good paying job, and IT'S JUST A GAME!!!!!

Enjoy your life and stop crying over the fact that other people who make millions of dollars are losing a GAME... I am sure they arent as sad as you every time they drive to the bank...

Bring back Nevin!!!

Who's crying?

Why must I be crying just because I'm not as light hearted on them losing?

I have the same perspective in terms of it just being a game....but I still don't laugh when they lose.

(Not trying to criticize you for doing so, that's just me. Wouldn't have responded to your response, but I took a bit of exception to the insinuation that I was crying.)

[padrefanforever]

I wasn't crying either..........but I did think about taking a crap on my living room carpet to match the stink Linebrink was putting out

[JayDawg27]

Seriously Wood are you having a bad day, really lighten up, I am just playing with you. I dont laugh when we lose, I am glad I didnt see the game last night, I probably would have put my foot through the television.

Part of the problem here is you responded to a post I directed towards PFF. He and I chat alot outside of this public arena, so when I was laughing, at or with him, he knew what I was saying and knows how I feel about the Padres wins and losses.

I was laughing at his optimism about sweeping the series and starting our run towards a WS. With the current offensive woes and pitching struggles, I thought what he said was funny, but it certainly doesnt reflect my fandome (PFF theres that word again).

I like to laugh, sorry if that upsets you...

[padrefanforever]

Yes but in a certain guys case on the other forum.......it's spelled fandumb

It's all good here guys........we have some new blood in here still and everyone is still getting used to everyone.........no worries.........

[padrefanforever]

Cook just threw a 74 pitch CG in Coors field............

I've said it on every forum I hit.....I'm calling it

July 25th, unless a major move is made, this team is done this year. The pitching came back to earth, and our offense is horrific....so unless they right the ship by changing the personell, this season is over.

[JayDawg27]

Well on a positive note, the Dawg gets another successful series prediction. Wish I was wrong, but I saw it coming.

[JayDawg27]

FmrFres ar eyou done playing the game you didnt make a prediction for this series

[HollywoodLeo]

L-W-W

I refuse to predict losing a series. (Gut tells me L-W-L right now)

Can I at least get partial credit?

[JayDawg27]

Nope, go with your gut next time...
