[ was away for the weekend ]
The season does not hinge on Loaiza. Just "Shut it up" already. The more you open your mouth, the more you make yourself look like a douchebag. |

It does hinge more on Loaiza than on Frank Thomas, that's for sure.
Nice comeback by the way, pulling out the insults. You a Raider fan too?  |

Can't admit that you're wrong?

I voted for the Ethier for Milton/Perez trade. I don't know, but I really do like Milton Bradley, Antonio Perez can be helpful in a pinch, and Ethier was a nice prospect but nothing huge to give up.
Trading Zito wouldn't have been the end of the world, the A's have some sweet pitching depth...same with getting Loaiza, good signing but nothing amazing.  Then out of fairness to the others you will be Slagathor. |

admit I'm wrong? Loaiza was a fluff signing...we didn't need him. We've always needed a righthanded bat with some power. If Thomas is healthy, then he'll give us that for the league minimum practically.

What's gotten into you Dirty? You used to be such a nice young man. Are you on marijuana?

It's nothing personal. It's just painfully obvious that Loaiza is more important. That's all. |

Keeping Zito! Lefties that win at the clip he does are priceless.

other than some A's fans, he's the only person that thinks signing Loaiza was a good thing. I never said it wasn't, I voted that all of the moves were important when viewed together because IMHO none of them would put them over the top alone.

Beane rules all. All the Dodgers got for The Gamer was that Ethier guy.
