Chicks dig the Long Ball

Post by War Wagon »

If you're not watching/interested in the ALL STAR homerun derby, you're a fucking fag, so don't bother responding to this topic. I don't care what you might have to say.

That said, gotta' root for my boy Grady Sizemore since he's the only one of these guys on my fantasy team. 23 HR's, leading the AL, outta' the leadoff spot for team that's looking up at the Royals? :shock:

The guy's a fantasy monster.

However, smart money is on Josh Hamilton. This guy's a freakazoid.

2nd and 3rd choices:

Lance Berkmann
Justin Morneau

Josh Hamilton = Wow! That was an awesome perfomance.

What a story of redemption. No surprise that most of you pud pullers aren't even aware of his descent into drug addiction, and the miraculous recovery.

There but for the grace of God.

I followed a bit of Hamilton's career (as a kid) as he went to high school about two miles from my former house in Raleigh (my sister-in-law taught at Athens Drive). That kid really was considered a once in a generation player... as close to a sure thing as theoretically possible. That was until he graduated from high school, got a ton of money and shot it all up his veins and snorted it up his nose. Really sad to watch yet another phenom waste away his life and potential. Props to the kid for turning it around and having a tremendous season.

Happens all the time, and it's not so much sad as it's inevitable. I don't feel sad for punks who waste their life. They chose to.

That's what makes the story of redemption that much more joyous to behold.

Josh Hamilton is a very lucky and blessed man, and from all indications and his humble demeanor, he's trying to share that.

There's not a rack big enough.

Indeed, Mister Rack Fu.

Kinda' appropriate he flamed out in the final round. Pretty sure there's a Bad Company and Lynyrd Skynryd song that covers just that.

Rack Justin Morneau nonetheless.

Bace, you're just upset Albert Many Holes (in his swing) wasn't invited.

It's ok to vent here. I know you've had a rough day.

I'm sorry, was it The Bachelor? You blithely confessed to watching one of these two abominations. I believe Suckaholic claimed the other.

Of course you are Goobs.

Aka as a perpetual state of not knowing what the fuck you're talking about whilst grabbing your ass with both hands.

Quite understandable, coming from a sorry ass motherfucker like youself.

Bitchise has more message board acumen and courage than yourself.

But you have one thing in common. You're both cunts.

Yeah, but do they 'manage' fantasy baseball teams?

That would make them pathetic dorks as well.

His problems didn't begin until after he and his parents were involved in a car accident and he became addicted to the painkillers that were prescribed for him.
