McCann vs. Saltamacchia

...and feel free to actually back up your false claims for once;

http://sportstwo.com/threads/251249-Yankees-and-Brian-McCann-closing-in-on-Contract.../page2

 

As opposed to declaring them good deals NOW, before either guy takes the field? We all have opinions, which is pretty much what this board is about - we discuss, we predict, we are proven right, we are proven wrong, and in some cases - we parse everything with "that's not what I meant" to cover ourselves. But we all keep showing up, so who really cares?

 

...but you nave NEVER been able to back up your "that's not what I meant" claims...not once. You shoot your mouth off by telling people what they mean and when asked to document it, you come up short...instead of just saying something, why not actually prove it...for once?

...and both McCann and Elsbury have already proven what they are capable of...you're simply bashing they money/terms...derp.

 

I subsequently recognized that and posted my mistake saying that bernie was all-in on the Ellsbury (post #14 on this thread). And when that circumstance arises with you (still hasn't happened), I will do the same.

 

You're "that's not what I meant act" is know by just about everyone - your denial of it is comical, derp. As for bashing the terms/$$$ of the McCann/Ellsbury deals - that's fair game, if it has downstream impacts on other decisions (i.e. Cano, starting pitching). Some of us have no problems voicing that, while some just 'bobblehead' up and down every move made and bash anyone for having opinions that go against the company line.

 

..I know you acknowledged it, chevette...I was pointing out the "nasty habit" you have of misreading/misinterpreting things, and then trying to tell people "what they really mean"...and you do.

...again, here's another example of your mania; http://sportstwo.com/threads/251249-Yankees-and-Brian-McCann-closing-in-on-Contract.../page2



...and there are more, would you care to revisit them?

 

Vette, I for one will change my opinion totally if Hal and the boys club aren't all in. If Hal thinks he can bluff the fan base with Ellsbury and McCann he is more arrogant then I thought. However, if he signs Cano, takes on a bad contract at 3B for 2 years as Jags get there we hope, adds pitching (lots of pitching) then I say let the chips fall where they may. Last years Red Soxs team is a perfect example of good fortune (going 7 for 7 in signings), chemistry, and very little injuries. It can happen, will it. What hasn't been mentioned is, who is the clear cut leader going into 2014 in the American League? Could it be so balanced?

 

...my "act" is known by "just about everyone"?...who is that?...who are you now speaking for?

...for ONCE, will you actually back up your big mouth by producing something tangible instead of making false blanket statements and claims?

...how do these deals prevent the Yanx from signing Cano and other players? (and please list these supposed players)...and your last sentence is not only hypocritical, it's hilarious.

 

One of my favorites - McCann "plays a pretty good 1B". You could have said "maybe he could play 1B" (despite never had played there), but you went all the way, scrotum-over-feet by saying he " plays a pretty good 1B". Not sure why you would post that entire thread to support any point you're trying to make - you got worked like a rib on that one. And "chevette" - yea - haha "69".

 

...you cannot back up your claims, so you attempt misdirection?...pretty much what I thought."

...and I got "worked like a rib"?...really, how's that?...you mean by making an error that I immediately admitted?...kinda goes hand in hand with your faux pas earlier in this thread, huh?........."worked"?...please, get over yourself. You've been asked multiple times to produce something other than your big mouth to back up your claims and you have failed miserably EVERY time.


...and I've been calling you chevette for awhile now, and I think it's quite apropos...and I certainly don't mind "69" if you don't mind "chevette"

 

If I minded any of this, I wouldn't post at all. : )

 

...like I said, that's what I thought...can't back your BS up, can you?

 

Seems like you were all for Salty over McCann on this thread (see post #21) - your words - "what he said -spot on" in response to MB's post, but now that McCann has been signed, you have to 180 it by "claiming" McCann was your choice all along, and that anyone who preferred at Salty at $80M less is a f'ing idiot. So does your wanting Salty on this thread make you a f'in idiot too?

Like I said - you're full of shit. Just about everyone admits when they're wrong, but not you - you're always in the perpetual state of "that's not what I meant", "I was misquoted", etc.

...and here you are claiming Cano for 6/$150M "seems about right" (post #34), but of course there you are rubber-stamping Ellsbury at 7/$153M. So are you saying that Ellsbury is worth more than Cano - oh, no now the line is Cano for the Yankees $175M, but "he probably deserves more $$$, but not more years". Really - thought it was $150M? Another 180, along with the usual bashing of those who questioned Ellsbury's deal.

...you're delirious....making an error is not a "180".

...are you really trying to dig that hard?...I guess I didn't read MB's post all that clearly because I have been lobbying for McCann since last year. So I mis-spoke in responding to someone's post, sue me.

...I have not done a 180 and have never wanted Salty...would you like me to dig as hard as you?


...oh wait, I don't have to...see post #6 above...would you like more?

 

Throw in the "McCann plays a pretty good 1B, and in a matter of 10 minutes - I've called your BS out 3 times. But me and other dug up posts of your contradcutory BS before, and predictably you claim to be "misquoted" despite it being there in black and white.

And the "I didn't read MB's post all that clearly" - are you f'in kidding me? No would care if you made these comments, but instead of acknowledging them and moving on like everyone else, you deny them, AND then turn around and trash those who take the same position you did at one point (before of course, the Yankees make the move, and you feel compelled to say 'you had it along'). All this thread shows is if McCann got $100M from someone else, and the Yankees got Salty for $21M - you would have been all over it, and questioning why anyone would pay McCann $80M more than Salty and for 6 years vs. 3 years for Salty.

And post #6 above was made AFTER the Yankees signed McCann, and totally contradicts your response to MB. All you're doing is proving my point.

 

Class dismissed.

 

...what did I "deny"?...I made a reading blunder by not reading MB's post completely and admitted it...I also made an error about McCann having played 1B and also admitted that...not sure what you're getting at.

...if I produce evidence of my desire to sign McCann will you admit you were wrong?...I highly doubt it.

 

...here, now go pound sand; http://sportstwo.com/threads/246967-...Yet-another-reason-to-sign-McCann?highlight=McCann

 

All that shows is that you advocated for McCann in September and then advocated for Salty in November. As such, no sand required to be pounded.
