Eagles was the one who said he would bet significant money . I never challenged him to any bet . So I have no idea why you are trying to challenge me to a bet .Quote:

But if things keep going the way they are going and the mets get the players they are close to getting , it is a strong possibility and you can’t deny that . And as long as there are so many free agents out there that are unsigned I won’t be betting on anything .Quote:

Jones also questioned eagles ‘s declaration by sticking to his opinion that the mets would have a better line up and team if they got the players they are rumored to get and then furthered questioned it by saying the mets clearly have the better starting pitching . He just didn’t do it in the same words as I did . Now why didn’t you challenge him to a bet as well?Quote:

If you feel so strongly and vehemently believe the Mets will have a better record than the Yankees, I am simply asking you to defend the position. In simple terms, put your money where your mouth is or in even simpler terms put up or shut up.

That's an insult to. weasels. They have intelligence, live by a set of rules provided by nature and actually face consequences for their actions .Quote:

If I had responded to you like that you would accuse me of moving the goal posts and in this case rightfully so . And Actually the opinion that the mets would finish with a better record than the Yankees next season was not originally mine it was Jones who originally held that opinion and then , according to your definition , eagles aggressively challenged that opinion by saying he would bet money that the yanks would have a better record than the mets next season . All I did was agree with what Jones said and just asked him if he would still bet money like he said he would if certain things happened this off season . I never said I would take any such bet at all or that I was willing to take any bet . I never even asked him to bet that money right now either . You on the other hand demanded me to take a bet now .Quote:

My final word. If you believe the Mets will finish with a better record than the Yankees accept my proposition. A lot in your favor. Better rotation. Better line up. Deep pocket owner willing to spend, make a splash and steal the back pages of the NY dailies.
If you are wrong you agree to leave forever. If I am wrong I agree to resign as moderator. Deal?
Let’s see how the off season goes first. Like I said to eagles before if certain things happen and don’t happen this off season i do feel the mets will be better than the yanks . To make a bet right now on that makes no sense at all . I didn’t even expect that from eagles when I challenged his assertion .Quote:

They would claim that since player A had a better average than player B, it negates the bet because that team was the better team but they didn't finish with the better record..
They are so weak they would welch on the bet and do so by attempting to lie their way out of it
