Interesting Trax article...

I'm sure a lot of you guys won't like his "Attitiude"

"I laugh at how I look at all the other teams that picked other pitchers over me and how well they're doing, for three times the money," said Trachsel, who starts tomorrow night against the Washington Nationals at Camden Yards. "But there were a lot of things going on behind the scenes that contributed to that."

The Orioles didn't pursue Trachsel until learning that Kris Benson likely would require surgery to repair his right shoulder. They reached agreement with Trachsel on a one-year contract, with a club option for 2008, on Feb. 14.

He won 15 games for the Mets last year, but a 4.97 ERA suggested that offensive support was more responsible for the victories than his right arm. In his only start in the National League Championship Series, Trachsel allowed five runs in one inning in a Game 3 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals.

"I took a line drive off my kneecap, too. Everybody forgets about that," he said, a slight grin on his face.

"Yes, I had a horrible game against the Cardinals. I'm not the first guy to have it, and I'm not going to be the last. Obviously, I wanted it to be a lot better. I waited 13 years to pitch in the postseason, and unfortunately, it was bad timing with a lot of other stuff that came down on me and it definitely affected the way I pitched. But it doesn't change the person or the pitcher I am now.

"I won 15 games. Why doesn't that number count? It didn't count because I had a high ERA. But what about the years I had a low ERA and didn't win games? You can't have it both ways. You can't pick and choose which numbers you want to look at."

The postseason wasn't all that haunted Trachsel, 36, who's playing for his fifth organization. He was dealing with other issues that, he said, kept him on the market.

"I had a divorce dropped on me, so that was probably the biggest thing," he said. "And there were some more things that were brought up that had nothing to do with what I did. There was a lot of stuff going on, a lot of back talking."

See, it was the shrew *****'s fault.

F*ck him

Enjoy playing for losing teams, Steve.

I'm sure Matt Yallof and Old Man Telephone/Re-Yes/Bill Metsiac still miss you.

Somewhere Metsiac (AKA re-YES) is sitting at a computer desk claiming he's been vindicated.

At you least have three fans... no wait... it's really Matt Yallof and Bill Re-Yes Metsiac....

LOL... the best part about this post is that it was EXACTLY what I imagined your post would be. Well, except for the Reyetsiac part.

Bay Ridge Dave · 06-12-2007, 11:47 AM

LOL good call Hojo....

Trachsel should just STFU. He got every chance with the Mets... even whined to the media and got away with it, and his rotation spot back.

Ingrate.

He is a d!ck. To the best of my recollection, that happened AFTER the 5 runs, including allowing the bomb to Suppan.

LOSER.

The best part for me was that that article and F*ckhead Trash-man's quotes were EXACTLY what I'd imagined they were going to be last fall after game 3.
