Injuries sunk the pitching, and you know it. Your "argument" is a straw man, and your manic style makes me think you're mentally unstable. Alberto, you make me smile.

We blame our struggles and first round exits as a result of poor hitting meanwhile the starting pitching clearly has been a joke. Nothing has been done to bring a top flight starter. One of the best was being waved in our faces last winter and we passed. -My point is that THIS team cannot be less than 2nd in runs scored and win 95 games BECAUSE THIS TEAM REFUSES TO WIN THROUGH PITCHING. The first round exits are because we have nobody that shuts down any baseball team. Pitching wins championships, its been said a million times. wow, i didnt think i’d get replies from people who can’t read

My paranoid antics arise because I think we have SERIOUS problem here that still cannot be identified by the general public. You are like a poor man's Brian Cashman.

Kanye, no. Here's an actual Kanye verse: "I'm Kan, the Louis Vuitton Don Bought my mom a purse, now she's Louis Vuitton Mom!" ugh. and btw, record sales is a bad correlation to quality of rapper. Please Hammer, Don't Hurt 'Em and Speakerboxx/The Love Below both sold about 10 times as many units as Illmatic, Ready to Die, 36 Chambers, Mos Def and Talib Kweli are Blackstar, Things Fall Apart, The Low End Theory, Only Built for Cuban Linx, Paid in Full, It Takes a Nation of Millions, Reasonable Doubt, etc., etc. People buy albums because MTV and radio play pump a song up with a catchy hook and people who don't like rap or listen to hip hop with any regularity just have to have "Hey Ya!" in their catalog. So Em selling a bunch of albums doesn't make him better than somebody else by default. Talib and Common, yes. Kanye, no.

First, who exactly offered us a team era below 4.50 for us to refuse? Second, plenty of teams have finished lower than 2nd in runs scored and won more than 95 games. See, a fallacy is inherently untrue, so disproving it is simply a matter of stating it, which you did. In essence, you prove yourself wrong. Dude, your arguments are bizarre.

Let's not go overboard with the bashing of Eminem. He is one of the greatest rappers of all time, atleast in the top ten. He is the highest selling rapper ever. He is one of the best lyricists ever. One of the best storytellers ever. Eminem is legit and he even won an Oscar. Can’t forget about Talib Kweli or Common or Kanye West.
