DurableTear Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 The nice thing is that Kerry Wood after the surgery had a nastier breaking ball... less looping and more bitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g8trz2003 Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 another fan of Smoltz right here. The guy is a good guy. Heck, he leads a team Bible study. As for danny's comments....everyone listen to him. He has connections....he probably talked to AJ personally found out that AJ was just lying to the press. He also probably talked to Dr. Andrews.....you know, all those connections lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJBurnett34 Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 AJ will be back by opening day. Hes another con man, not a fighter. His greed makes him a fighter. He will pitch through the pain and force himself to be back by opening day. What!?! He isnt dumb enough to pitch through Pain. That will mean he will mess up his arm again. Thats idiotic to pitch through pain right after you got surgery! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Card Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 I just realized something. Bill Clinton and George Bush could have a good battle over who is the better pitcher: Burnett (Arkansas) or Beckett (Texas) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPierre75sbs Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 AJ will be back by opening day. Hes another con man, not a fighter. His greed makes him a fighter. He will pitch through the pain and force himself to be back by opening day. What!?! He isnt dumb enough to pitch through Pain. That will mean he will mess up his arm again. Thats idiotic to pitch through pain right after you got surgery! of course he is. In 2002 he got that forearm tightness or whatever and said it was nothing major. HE KNEW HIS ARM WAS GOING TO BLOW UP!. Then in the offseason he was crying his as$ off to get a 3 year deal because he KNEW HIS ARM WAS GOING TO BLOW UP. When something like this happens, YOU know youre arm is not going to last much longer. and the first time he came off the DL he was trying his best to hide the pain (throwing 96 mph) until he just couldnt take it anymore. He pushed his arm to its limits, just as he always had, all that was going through his mind was money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also probably talked to Dr. Andrews.....you know, all those connections lol. ok if hes such a bible guy (which I have never read ANYWHERE), then why isnt he much kinder to opposing team's fans? I have never seen him talk to a fan or sign an autograph. I remember a long time ago, that mark sweeney guy used to autograph with John 3:16 on it and even though he sucked he was good to fans. So is Looper, etc. Smoltz is an as$hole to fans, go to a game against the braves and you will see. you need to stop dissing my brother. He did speak to Loria, Fox, Mckeon. I have asked some questions myself back when I was down there. I remember in the begining of the season I asked Torborg what wrong with Luis, he looks kind of slow? Since I timed him with a stopwatch and it was over 4.0 to first. He said it would be alright and Luis is just a little out of shape because of the surgery. Mckeon just said something similar to my bro about castillo. From what danny told me, TJ had to look around real quick before he told danny that luis leg was hurting. IT WASNT A DEATH IN THE FAMILY AND IT WASNT FOR A DAY OFF. he could have easily said that tampa sucks and he wanted fox to start, but he said luis' leg hurts. This is cause for concern and I dont think other teams know about it much. Luis is slightly damaged goods. before you start dissin, why dont you go to the games and try to ask the players firsthand of whats happening. Of course you can sit here and speculate or go and find out first hand. Its not impossible and you are naive and ignorant to be sarcastic when you dont even know what you are talking about. If you have the balls, then why dont you go see for yourself after one of the games at the busses between gate B and H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramp Posted June 22, 2003 Author Share Posted June 22, 2003 Luis sat out because of a death.... until i hear otherwise, that's what i will believe... Smoltz is a big bible guy, and a pretty nice guy too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamrock Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 When the Braves played in Palm Beach County for spring training (my home) he gave out tons of autographs. Can't be everyones best friend all the time. And actually it was for a death in the family, get your facts straight. I can see why arnie1941 came over here now :plain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPierre75sbs Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 where did you hear he sat out because of death to the family? danny asked mckeon first hand why he sat out. Mckeon said it was because of his leg. Dans my bro and hes tellin the truth. Luis wouldnt have been at the stadium if somebody died.. he would have been at home or something.

JPierre75sbs Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 well ive been to alot of braves games at the pro and Smoltz was a total ^&*#. I just call em like i see em. Arnie came here because he heard me talk about this site over there. Hes an old guy with alot of time on his hands. that smarta$s last line of yours was definitely unnecessary.

JPierre75sbs Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 len kasper can blow me. you all will see sooner or later about castillos problems. hes already been caught like 10 times stealing and wont be stealing unless piazza is playing catcher. next time you go to the park time him to first... dont tell me hes gotten slower because his friend died also.

Ramp Posted June 22, 2003 Author Share Posted June 22, 2003 i didnt say he got slower because of his friend i said he sat out that night because a friend died... and why would you want a guy blowing you? :plain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPierre75sbs Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 well im inclined to believe what my bro said. TJ did pause before he mentioned castillos leg. Perhaps pondering if he should tell the BULLSH*T he told kasper and the press or just to go ahead and tell the kid the honest truth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossInfoMan Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 One of Luis' close friends in Dominican Republic did pass away, thats a fact and thats the reason he was out. You don't go around just talking about stuff like that, especially when it wasnt even announced until the next day. Im sure Luis doesnt want reporters around his locker asking him about it that same day, so Jack made up something. But, thats what happened.

JPierre75sbs Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 "Im sure Luis doesnt want reporters around his locker asking him about it that same day, so Jack made up something" made up what? the leg problem to my brother? my brother isnt the press and nobody would be around his locker. what you just said makes NOOOO sense.. luis' friend did die. but still that wasnt the REAL reason why he sat out. It might have been part of it, but the main reason was the problems with the leg. It makes perfect sense too because luis has been getting worse and worse with his running ability.
