he just became one of the biggest free agents this offseason.

Please to come back to ATL, thanks k

10/12/2007 3:41:03 PM

that is the best news i have heard today, i would love to have him back in atlanta. I have no hard feelings

10/12/2007 3:41:24 PM

ATL still loves you, Leo

10/12/2007 3:43:43 PM

It would say wonders about Wren as the new GM his first year if he could bring Leo back to Atlanta.

10/12/2007 3:45:35 PM

jesus

SOMEBODY FUCKING FIRE FUCKING PETER FUCKING ANGELOS

10/12/2007 3:46:45 PM

Stupid fucking move by the O's. They are a shity excuse for a MLB team. Its not like Leo really had much to work with. You can't turn complete crap into top quality pitchers. They didn't give him anything to work with.

10/12/2007 3:49:17 PM

AND SELL THE TEAM TO CAL

10/12/2007 3:49:48 PM

It would be nice if Leo and Glavin came back the same year. I know Glavin collapsed with the Mets at the end of this season, but it would be awesome to see him go out like he deserves. As a Brave.

10/12/2007 3:51:12 PM

if glavine went back to the Braves I think it would mark the first time ever that every member of a pitching staff qualifies for AARP

who the shit is glavin?

10/12/2007 4:14:10 PM

Mazzone did well with that staff. Alot of pitchers on that staff grew up since he got there. Cabrera wasn't making the same shitty mistakes he usually did......Bedard became a cy young type pitcher, and there were 1 or 2 other young guys that were doing well. stupid move

10/12/2007 4:18:06 PM

Leo helped develop Bedard and both Jeremy Guthie and Adam Loewen were showing promise. I do hope he ends back up in Atlanta as some type of advisor or something, but frankly he did not do a good job in Baltimore.

Maybe if in a couple of years, the Orioles have a bunch of young studs pitchers, then I'll retract that statement, but as of right now, he failed in Baltimore.

10/12/2007 5:07:22 PM

why do all the teams I pull for have to suck ass and make dumbfuck decisions.

i wouldnt want to coach in that shit city anyways

10/12/2007 5:18:22 PM

Breaking news: Leo Mazzone has hired Scott Boras to be his agent.

10/12/2007 5:55:16 PM

Mazzone made Erik Bedard arguably the best pitcher in the AL

What a dumb move.

This is why some teams have money and still suck ass.

10/12/2007 6:10:06 PM

mazzone and glavine coming back to ATL this year?? hmmm

10/12/2007 6:18:11 PM

Lets bring Kenny Lofton back next year!




Hey Maddux is available too!



Can John Rocker be far behind??



Where's Andre Galarraga when ya need him?




I'm just being an ass. I'd love to have Leo back.

10/12/2007 6:23:03 PM

galaraga is like ten thousand years old

I thought about saying something like that, coupled with the success of Jeremy Guthrie this year.

But then i thought about:

Daniel Cabrera
Jim Hoey
Danys Baez
Chad Bradford
Todd Williams
Jaret Wright

and that long stretch of crappy minor-league tryouts we had going toward the middle-end of the season

CC and Beckett might argue with you about that little quote of yours.

I see nothing wrong with any of that. At worse, Rocker makes an all ready shitty bullpen shitty. At best he returns to half his former self and is a superb setup man.

^Maybe that is why I said arguably? How many names have you had terminated now? And why on God's green Earth do you love to troll TWW so much MacGyver?

Oh and BTW here is Bedard's numbers for the year:

Bedard 13-5 3.16 221 Ks for the Orioles no less. Just as good as Beckett, CC, Carmona, Lackey, others.

10/12/2007 10:41:16 PM

Yep, but not really. I love when you get OWNED in an argument, your only comeback is how many names I may or may not have had terminated. Bedard isn't even top 5 in the AL, so just get that shit out of here and go try and find something else to act like you know what you are talking about.

10/12/2007 10:58:35 PM

How exactly have I gotten owned?

ANYONE that knows baseball would consider Bedard a top pitcher. STFU.

13-5 with 2nd most Ks in baseball is pretty damn good. The Ks alone show how good his stuff is.

10/12/2007 11:15:44 PM

Bedard also missed a month and a half. He could have won 17 games for a shitty team, and he would have struck out close to 300 batters.

10/13/2007 12:07:00 AM

i miss the big cat

10/13/2007 8:20:18 AM

the stars align: Mazzone comes back and brings Maddux, Glavine, and Avery back to join Smoltz.


and lol about the AARP comment above.

[Edited on October 13, 2007 at 10:59 AM. Reason : .]

10/13/2007 10:59:11 AM

hell I'd still take Glavine Smoltz and Maddox over the majority of NL pitching anyday
