MrRain422 Posted October 25, 2006 Author Share Posted October 25, 2006 Yeah, well I think of him as a Kansas City A's middle infielder. So there. You're old. And you have a remarkable memory. I don't think he actually played very many games. Link to post Share on other sites
explodo Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Eleven years is exactly half of my life, so yeah, I kind of relate him to the Cardinals and only the Cardinals. I vaguely remember when they hired him right around the strike / post-strike when nobody cared about baseball anymore. At that point I was balls deep in my Brett Favre love.

caliber66 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 You're old. And you have a remarkable memory. I don't think he actually played very many games. I lied, but I do associate him more with the Bash Brothers-era A's than with the Cards. Link to post Share on other sites

bobbob1313 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 No bigger a dick than David Ortiz, or Derek Jeter (remember how he threw A-rod under the bus this year?), or Kenny Rogers (attacked a camera man for doing his job), or any number of star athletes who are dicks. Most are. Link to post Share on other sites

bobbob1313 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 How's Papi a dick, yo? I'm not saying I know personally that he's a not a dick. Remember when he was whining about giving Jeter the MVP? That was about as bad as Pujols whining about this guy not thinking he'd make it to the majors. With every prospect it's 50-50 at best that they'll make it. Think of all the great prospects who never even made it. Link to post Share on other sites
parisisstale Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 When did Jeter throw A-Rod under the bus? By not kissing his ass and telling him that everything was going to be ok? I must've missed that one. Link to post Share on other sites
MrRain422 Posted October 25, 2006 Author Share Posted October 25, 2006 I think bobbob was referring to what Jeter said about A-Rod to the media, not anything that went on between them in private. There's a big difference between not being best of buddies in the clubhouse, and actually talking shit about a teammate to a reporter. Big difference. I thought Ortiz's comments were sort of whiny, but not really dick-ish. Link to post Share on other sites
explodo Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Pujols sounds like a dick.I'd like to hear the other side of that story. Kind of lame when you quote the guy's wife as the backup source. Link to post Share on other sites

austrya Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Belliard ranks up there with Johnny Damon for me. He get's on my freaking nerves!! I wish he would play for the Yankees too so he would have to cut his hair. Link to post Share on other sites

bobbob1313 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 What was the point of that, by the way? I mean believe me, I appreciate the compliment, really, but what was your motivation? I'm curious what kind of thought goes into such well articulated posts. Link to post Share on other sites
