yeah if you're an overwhelming favorite and you lose that's a choke

couple more and you too can be the Bills!

**Valisk** · 2012-01-30 12:43

That's a terrible definition and too ambiguous.

**Cephius** · 2012-01-30 13:01

well I'm trolling but I think that sums it up

oh god I missed the bumgarner part.

did he mention that game last year vs the twins where he gave up hits to the first 11 batters he faced?

GDI, I almost had that game erased from my memory. I hope Gronk gets Gronked in the super bowl for retribution.

lol, 1.5 then? Even if he'd done what he did in that half-season for a full season it still wouldn't be as good as any of CC's past 6 seasons.

I agree. He has the potential to become a dominant starter, but right now, no. He's already had 1 more elbow issue then CC, and people like CC and Prince seem to defy the laws of logic when it comes to weight.

**Trichocyst** · 2012-01-30 14:38

I think Shane Victorino is more valuable than CC Sabathia because he hit a grand slam off him in the playoffs that one time.

Pedroia handled it okay, and won the MVP the following season.

pat burrell retired today, for those that care. also saw the rangers extended washington 2 years

**Melena** · 2012-01-30 19:05

Not surprised at all. He pretty much only wanted to play with the Giants and only if his foot would actually allow him to play, and from the sounds of it, it was hurting every day. Kind of sad, would have been nice to have him as a bench player to mentor the younger players. Maybe he'll come back as a coach. At least he only cost us 1mil last year.

**Cephius** · 2012-01-30 19:56

Pat Burrell has more world series rings than world series hits
