Default In the last 23 years

how many homegrown starters have started regularly for this team without being dumped. Which pitcher has given us valuable service for 3+ years?

Give up? Bobby Jones.

It's time we stop blaming the players and look at the higher ups. This is a system that doesn't let kids develop, doesn't have a plan and is too veteran focused. Even the biggest 'win now' team in history wants their team to have homegrowns.

Think about that. One ****ing starting pitcher worth a ****, that we developed, who stayed as a starter, in 23 years. One. As for POS. players:

1 catcher (Hundley). 1 2bagger (Fonzie). 2 SS (One who couldn't hit for ****). 1 3rd baseman. 1 cf'er in Payton. 0 right fielders. 0 lf'ers worth a ****.

This is referring to guys who gave about 3+ years of real service/value from our farm that we drafted/signed. Not traded for. Developed.

23 years. Wow.

And how many kids with big egos/mouths did we keep? 0. So, tell me, what's the one thing that has stayed the same, within this organization, for the last 23 years? You guessed it:

Jay Horowitz.
That god damn 4 eyed bastard is killing this team!

GET THE PIECE OF CRAP McGimpy OFF MY TEAM NOW!!!!!

The McGimpy does most things upside down: eats, sleeps (an average of 23 hours per day), mates, and gives birth. Because of the McGimpy's upside down life, many of the McGimpy's internal organs (liver, stomach, spleen, pancreas) are in different positions from other mammals. McGimpy sometimes lets out a cry or hissing sound.

During the rare times the McGimpy goes down to the ground (such as to change trees for food), it moves very slowly.

And if you do, who gives a flying milleGe corn row?

Well, if you're going back 23 years to 1984, there's two names you're not including in your late 90's focused list. Granted, being 23 the late 90's list is the one I actually relate to sadly.

That played 3+ years of real useful service? Wow, I can't even remember. I hope Benny Agbellyani isn't one of them.

Well you said 23 years, which goes back to 1984, which would add one to the RF and one to the SP columns respectively.

Unless you're kidding about more than just Jay.
