shut the fuck up homo.
I kno exactly what im talking about.
You showed your lack of baseball knowledge when you said the first 7 innings were more important.
go back to tha fuckin zoo u dumb fuckin marsupial.
Do i even have to say why him as a reliever woud help more?
Have you noticed the trend of shitty bullpens across the league?
Do you realize that he would have a greater affect in more clutch situations in MORE games as a reliever?
Like i said, you are retarded.
i think sucking too many cocks turned Nicky into a school girl
like roaches all the NYers come outta the woodwork to defend the shitty management decision to start Joba the Hut.
Just like bringing Marbury to NY worked out.
morons run by the press...the NY Post runs the spankees these days.
7/9 of the game is more important than 2/9 of the game.Quote:

Our bullpen still has injuries, don't start bitching about Joba should be a reliever when our bullpen isn't even fully healthy yet.
Yet again another post when you get mad and have to flame everybody.
wow, you are so far off its not even funny anymore.
THe closer and the set up man are the crucial parts to winning anything. YOu can get by with a so-so starting pitching in the 3 adn 4 spots of the rotation but you won't win shit with a crap bullpen.
Joba is helping more in the setup role than he is as the 3rd or 4th starter. FACT.
Eckersley was a starter too. So was Kerry Wood, John Smoltz...
Your a fucking IDIOT. Seriously, you have absolutely no fucking clue about baseball.
You shouldnt be allowed to watch it.
Because those teams NEEDED a Set-up or Closer, Yankees don't NEED Joba in that spot because they already have their future SU/CL in Bruney and Mark Melancon ( and Mo still has a 2-3 years left in him)Quote:

Have you even read anything I've said or as soon as I mention Joba being a starter you flip a shit?
lolwut
Those 2 you mentioned are UNPROVEN. Chamberlain have PROVEN to be more effective as a setup man than a starter.Quote:

The Yankees can sign whatever starter they want next free agent period, so its not like thats a big deal.
Their problem is they sign the worst most overhyped players.
CC getting all that money....what a mistake. Enjoy him in the playoffs like ARod.
Either way, Joba should be in the bullpen.
You'll see dumbass.
Bruney had a 1.83 ERA last year lol...Quote:

You dodge every post I make and just reply with "FUCKING SEWER DWELLER", you make horrible points.
Worst discussion I've ever had.
YAYUH. THE 1000th POST
Thats one year.
Raphael Perez and Raphael Betancourt were unhittable 2 years ago, now they both suck.
Chamberlain is better off in the pen. With that kind of heater, he is taylor made for the bullpen.
So if you have ur butt buddy bruney and Joba and Mo back there, they Yankees would be unbeatable after 7 innings.
All they would need is a solid 6 from a starter and the lead.
You clearly don't remember or were not old enough to remember the real reason behind the Yankees going on that run in the late 90's.
Yankees had one of the worst bullpen ERA and a top 4 starting ERA in the AL in 2000 and still won the World Series that year, your point?Quote:

Im not saying starting pitching isn't important, but you can get be with average starters if you have 2 good ones.
You cannot get by with an average bullpen.
Didnt they still have Stanton, Jeff Nelson and Mo???
Its all about the bullpen.
Y do you think the Mets are playing so well right now.
Y do you think the Indians suck right now and last year? Cuz their bullpen fell apart.
You can get great pitching from your starters every time out, but if you pen can't hold the lead its pointless.
Im right...give it up
I'm not trying to say the bullpen isn't an important facet of the game but having already have our guys for the SU/CL role and we have had major holes to fill from the starting rotation last year.Quote:
