The worst franchise is sports? You'd think they might check for violent felonies before announcing they admire his "fighting spirit"

Bucklion: "The worst franchise is sports?"
I can buy this. Colangelo gutted his team to spite Steinbrenner. He deserves everything he gets.
They made an awful, awful deal for Richie Sexson (who's so overrated its not even funny). Sexson got hurt and is walking away this offseason. And they didn't get anywhere close to anything of value for Schilling.
Colangelo didn't want Alfonso Soriano and Nick Johnson for Schilling, but instead wanted to help the Sox and got Casey "Bag of Balls" Fossum back. Now which would've been better for his team?
He screwed himself and his team and I have no sympathy. They could be horrible for the next twenty years and it wouldn't be enough for me. And they're making the same mistake again with Randy Johnson.

Sloop - Wouldn't be any anger from 2001 related to these sentiments, would there?

Bill: "Sloop - Wouldn't be any anger from 2001 related to these sentiments, would there?"
I have no resentment whatsoever for the D-Backs with regard to '01. I'm not a greedy fan: I've seen four Championships, and I realize that its a lot, lot more than most people get to see. The fact that we didn't get a 5th doesn't sit well with me, but I'm definately not bitter about it.
In fact, I can name two Yankee losses that were way more devastating to me (personally) than the '01 defeat. I'd probably rank '01 third on that list, but its a distant third.
And I can deal with getting beat fair and square on the field. My hate of the D-Backs comes exclusively from the Schilling trade and the Johnson fiasco. I hate these teams/owners that're so jealous of this franchise that they'd hurt their team to spite George. This is deal # 2 in the span of a year that the D-Backs have blackballed the Yanks. Now THAT burns me up way more than '01.
