CrazyCarl40 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 So you're a fluke if you take advantage of where your home team hits? Put your hero Giambi and that short right field porch in that equation too then. Bottom line is that even if you have a home stadium with an advantage, you still have to hit the ball and take advantage of it. If, and I hope this doesn't happen, the Yankees signed Lowell to take A-Rod's place they'd be getting a consumate professional, who is a good hitter, above average fielder, and a total team leader.

The fact that you are even trying to defend his night/day splits is about the funniest thing i've ever seen in my life. I guess there is only one ballpark that he can direct his hits in LMAO. This is the same stuff you'll be spewing if the yankees are stupid enough to waste their money on this fluke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funniest thing you've ever seen in your life? You need to get out more. And his road splits aren't all that bad. Hitting .276 on the road is actually fairly decent. Mike Lowell is a Red Sox. If he is no longer a Red Sox, there is a good chance I won't follow what he does. So I won't be spewing anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl admitted that he could care less about baseball other than the sawx which is fine but it also negates most of his opinions because it's admitted he has no perspective..

You cannot negate an opinion. That is how it works. Of course I pay attention to what happens throughout the league, but I won't be checking people's VORP at 3 am in my Scooby Doo underoos. I know plenty about the game Mike. Do I need to be vindicated on every post I make on a message board? No, because that's lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackout Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 That was before his body broke down from steroids.

Not caring and not knowing are two different things. Sure I know the Yankees picked up a 16 million dollar option on Abreu (who hits worse away from home than Mike Lowell). Do I care? Not particularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barton Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 madmike is right though. Lowell is not worth the contract that he's gonna get, if you are the Yankees that is. I've heard he might get 13-15 mill a year for 5 years. I'd stay away from him if I was the Yankees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 That means absolutely nothing. Perhaps. But at some point, you have to give some credit to the player for being part of several championship teams. Just like Derek Jeter gets credit for winning 4 rings. There's something special about players who "happen to be" on multiple WS-winning teams. In any case, it can't hurt them. Mariano Rivera is known as the greatest closer in baseball, and him having 4 rings is a reason why. Maybe it was the talent around them, or maybe the individual player was the common denominator himself. Who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A career singles hitter with a .388 career OBP and .462 slugging percentage from the shortstop position LOL. Who also has the same regular season numbers as he does in the postseason but with a higher slugging percentage. Oh thats right, I forgot I was talking to the same guy who said Beltran was awesome and a better postseason player than Jeter.

Jeter is one of the best hitting SS of all time who will cakewalk to 3000 hits. He's a lock hall of famer if he had never played in one post season game.
