joh rocker and billy koch? im being 100% serious- not trying to make a joke. obviously, im incensed that koch fu/cked me yet again. but i ask in all seriousness:

why is billy koch so highly coveted by teams?
and john rocker is out of the majors.
whats the difference between the 2?

both pitchers are exactly the same. hard throwers that have no clue how to get people out.

so koch is less vocal on his views of blacks.
will someone tell me how this guy continues to earn a multi-million dollar paycheck.

i never understand the rants when guys like nenn or wagner or rivera or hoffman (et al) blow saves- because theyre damn near lights out, but still will have their occasional implosion.

but for the life of me- ill never understand how koch is in the majors and rocker is out of baseball.

this guy was a blown save waiting to happen in toronto.
and then in oakland.
and now in chicago.

whats with contending teams wanting this guy?

who gives a fu/ck if he throws 97-98 miles and hour.
his sh1t is as straight as an arrow and he is extremely unreliable.

good for rocker.
when he was in cleveland- he conducted himself well.
i know im leaving myself open to be called in idiot- but i dont think hes a bad guy at all.

his problem is that he "presses" too much and tries to throw the ball 140 miles an hour, when he should just realize he has good enough stuff to get hitters out if he could just keep his head on his shoulders and stay relaxed and not let critics/fans get to him

Gman-

1) Did hell freeze over today? A -220 fav for you?

2) Remember the tennis guy, well he has cleaned up clay court season in ridiculous fashion the past few years, and has started hot again.

Good luck, bud.

bombs-
no regrets on the sox loss. it goes without saying that a -220 favorite is rare for me. sh1tty loss, but no regrets. just dont want to make a habit of it, lol. really thought manual had a quick hook on beurhle- he coulda probably stayed out there and regained command. nonetheless- nice win for you. props
