kmed : 4/24/2014 9:37 am
of the Angels? Smith, 30, is now possibly the best middle aged pitcher in baseball?

Up and cut that piece of garbage Fieri
Angels better make the switch......

that closer blew another game last night.

Something like eight HRs allowed already........pitiful.

Dave in DC knew what was up.

Oh and thx.. I needed another closer in the BBI league.
Who was the BBI'er that called Smith the best young pitcher in NY...

...back in 2007/2008? He was pretty uniformly mocked for saying it (admittedly it was kind of an optimistic opinion). But Smith has churned out a pretty successful career. Why'd the Mets ditch him again?

Oh right, for JJ Putz, LOFL!

I cut him and added Cishek since his role is secure. What is annoying is I drafted Henderson of the Brewers and missed out on K Rod

Good times for Joe Smith.
An ode to Dave in DC.

The man, the myth, the legend. Classic thread for me.

how was Chisek available in your league? Are you in a 1 team league?
Whatever happened to Dave?

He was one of BBIs most entertaining posters.

Why would you have had Fieri over Cishek to begin with? And no one had Cishek? Weird.

Dave went off the deep end before he stopped posting here. Or got banned. I don't even remember. I just know he was acting nutso.

one of the best young pitchers in the game was always a dumb statement.

But he's actually had a better career than Joba and Hughes. Unreal.
Entertaining?

He was a huge jackass. Good riddance he is long gone

I thought I was your nemesis :(
the odd thing is that he was here for years and years as a normal guy  
Greg from LI : 4/24/2014 12:51 pm : link
He was definitely a smartass all along, but for most of his time he was a decent enough fella and could be really funny. Then he went off the deep end and turned into a raging asshole.

you are my new nemesis, I upgraded be honored. Kmed too, fuck him.

I don't rip people who are no longer here but Dave in DC insisted I had no job since I'm on BBI all the time and absolutely hated when I critiqued Matt Cerrone (Metsblog) because Cerrone had taken to linking Dave's blog.
Dave was jealous of you, that's what I gathered.  
kmed : 4/24/2014 1:02 pm : link
He wanted to be bbi's #1 Mets fan, but you were looked at as bbi's go-to-guy for Mets news. Apparently I am a lot of guys nemesis, what are you gonna do I guess?

No I do not enjoy being a "heel"(not sure what that means really, but I don't think I enjoy that). I enjoy calling certain people out and I enjoy debating with certain people, but I don't try to go against anyone.
Sorry  
DanMetroMan : 4/24/2014 1:07 pm : link
"heel" is a wrestling term for "bad guy" or villain. I didn't mean it as an insult.
I absolutely do not enjoy playing villian.  
kmed : 4/24/2014 1:08 pm : link
I do enjoy having my own strong opinions that aren't always in line with the majority and I'm not afraid to voice them. I do not go out of my way to play villain, but regardless, this thread is about the best young pitcher in baseball.

can't honestly say I currently have anyone I really dislike or "hate" of any BBI regulars. I argue with Arc, Headhunter and ZGiants quite a bit but I have no issue with them. Some people are morons on here but I just avoid/ignore them lol

I'd say more succinctly you feel comfortable stating an opinion that is not likely going to be popular aka defending Isola. That's not a knock.
I'd then like to explain my opinion on Isola....  
kmed : 4/24/2014 1:14 pm : link
I completely understand that he has an axe to grind and I completely understand that he goes over the top in an attempt to bash the Knicks, but I also understand why he does it and I honestly can't blame him for it.

Haha. We actually agree on like 97% of Mets stuff.. you just drive me nuts when you nitpick sometimes. I respect the knowledge, though.. and I obviously don't have any real issue. The troll is a bit different ( but I just ignore now)

sometimes I get bummed when you do your "go to" troll move and nobody takes the bait. I keep hoping someone will.

DanMetroMan : 4/24/2014 1:24 pm : link
that's more than fair. I actually agree with you on that more than I disagree. Evidence of Dolan being a moron goes beyond ax to grind Isola but like the Mets... sometimes people want to believe the best because it's been SO bad (Knicks).

My move got out into the spotlight a little too much, I've got to let it cool down for a while before I start reeling 'em in again.
