once again having no grammer, and no spelling skills...ladies and gentlemen...Andrew Horrow

ok i was looking at the phillies score(lost to the marlins) and this got me thinking...screw moneyball can the marlins GM write a book?

Look at it here is a team that was trying desperately to tank. They win the world series and get rid of everyone including the man who waters the pitching mound. The idea is we tank...we can move...and then we win. The last part of that equation requires getting young players who need time to develop and will eventually turn into superstars. But somehow in trying not to win in five years they won in 3, the players who were not supposed to mature, matured. They were able to beat Satan and win the world series. The thing that troubles me is, is trying not to win the only way to win? The phillies last year were out of the playoff race and had just had a fire sale, and GM Pat (I am in the AARP with jose valintine) Gillick said we were 3 years out....what happened next you ask, we go on a tear and end up 1 game out. The Florida Marlins were 5 years out...they won the World Series....

The Flyers, Sixers, Phillies, and Eagles have no chance this year they are 15 years out....(now fate do ur duty)

I also really want to know how the Florida Gm does it. Recently i was playing MLB 2k7 carrier mode and tired to be the Marlins with their whopping payroll of 44 million 7th lowest. In my first off season i had to trade willis in order to think about keeping anyone in my infield even when my bankroll increased it was still not possible to win, i want to know how they did it i tried everything...(in 2010 i would quit there take over the Indians and go on to win 5 straight world series before turning off the xbox) HOW FLORIDA HOW???

On a completely other subject i want to rant about Bobby Abreu. There was a recent article on Si.com prising the Flyin Hawian Shane Victorino and his ability to replace Bobby Abreu. The true reason he has been able to do that is because he cares whether his team wins or loses, Abreu is what we call a numbers and money guy. These men only care about their individual numbers and how much they make and not on the teams preformance. These include just in baseball in no order, Abreu, Adrain Beltire, Bonds, A rod, Jeff Kent,sheffield(thanks pat) and Chris Therian(i know he doesnt play baseball but i f*%King hate him, he sucks he should never touch a hockey stick again)
Abreu never hit after the 5th inning, he never hit with runners on, he never did anything productive....as Joe Morgan says "anyone can hit a hr up big, but it takes a special player to hit one in the clutch"
Bobby Abreu you are not a special player you may physically be but when it comes to mental toughness in the clutch you dont have it, you can have it New York, ill take Shane Victorino any day...


Peace y'all im out
