Okay, after witnessing Nyjer Morgan's postgame act...

Van · Post by **Van** » Sat Oct 08, 2011 1:08 am

...maybe I won't be rooting for Milwaukee after all. If nothing else, here's hoping that clown goes oh-for-the-rest-of-the-playoffs.

We've seen about a zillion on-field postgame celebrations over the years, and that had to be the first time I ever saw a guy celebrating nothing but himself.

It's fucking baseball, you dick. That sort of ghetto cuntishness has no place in the game.

I missed it....what did he do?

Van · Post by **Van** » Sat Oct 08, 2011 3:21 am

He kept separating himself from his teammates so that he could run around thumping his chest and making this hand gesture to signify "T-Plush," which is the nic he's given himself. Then, when the hottie on-field reporter tried to interview him, he just kept shouting, "Fuck yeah!" over and over, right on camera. After telling her, "Can't talk...gotta go," he runs off and hops atop the dugout to pound his chest some more while again making that hand gesture to prop himself.

It was thoroughly disgusting.

Then there was Chris Carpenter, who just pitched one of the better close-out games in playoffs history to knock out a #1 seed on the road. His reaction? He calmly and politely answered the reporter's inane questions. He deflected praise. He gave credit to Halladay. He expressed relief over nailing down the final out.

He showed class. It's baseball...the quintessential team game. That's how you do it.

the brewers had baseball people wondering where the veterans were on that team to stifle the goofiness last season. For example, the home run bowling routine they did at home plate to celebrate.

and then they got nyjer morgan.

saw replays. the brewers game was ending during the first inning of my Cards game so I didn't see the tenth. this routine is what I expect from morgan. nyjer has been doing this all season. and every season prior.

pirates got rid of him for immaturity. with the nationals he threw a tantrum to the marlins and gaby sanchez clotheslined him. against the Cardinals he went out of the baseline to give a forearm to the head of our catcher at home plate who was neither blocking the plate nor had the ball by the time nyjer's forearm hit the catcher's head.

in summary, not down. a veteran somewhere needs to put him in his place.

First off, Van -- why would you pull for a team owned by The Guy Who Ruined (or keeps trying to ruin) Baseball?

Rather than success, I wish him a nice toasty seat in the afterlife next to Steve Jobs... their only solace being they get to gangrape David Stern every 6 days.

And Morgan "immature"... he's 31 freaking years old.

Made a name for himself, not with his bat, but with his twatter account. Hey Nigg.... err Nyjer -- when the Poohole goes into the Hall (unless the roids keep him out), people will have long forgotten your act.

And exactly -- compare that to the class shown by Carpenter, and the Seligtards can go fuck themselves with Brian Wilson's gargantuan fists.

Go 314.

You know, I hadn't even considered that angle. Does he still own them? I thought somebody else had taken over there? Fuck. I was just thinking that the Brewers have never won a WS, not under that name anyway, and they've only been to one WS during my lifetime. With the Red Sox, White Sox and Giants all recently ending their streaks, that seems to leave...hmmm...the Cubbies, Cleveland, Texas, Seattle, TB, Colorado, San Diego, Houston, Montreal/Washington...and Milwaukee.

Figured I'd just root for a small-town franchise that was still on the list. You're right, though. Selig's a cock, I hate that ugly, gray, pentitentiary-looking thing they call a stadium (especially when the roof is closed), and now they're celebrating the biggest ghetto douche in the game.

Yeah, I may have to rethink this.

Okay, I must have missed where you described your visceral loathing of Steve Jobs. This oughtta be good. Let's hear it....

And Morgan "immature"... he's 31 freaking years old.

He's just the latest in a never-ending parade of "Dig meeeeeee!" cunt lesions that have gone a long way towards ruining my love of most modern sports.

I like Ryan Braun, and I can even deal with Prince Fielder's tatted-up thug affectations, but screw it, you're right.

Sorry, Milwaukee, you'll have to wait until you no longer have Nyjer Morgan on your roster before you get to hoist another WS trophy.

Go Redbirds.

Yes, Miller Park is arguably the best park in MLB. Too bad Selig buttfucked Wisky taxpayers in the mouf and a handful of people died building it.

I'd have to say is a three-way tie between Baltimore, Milwaukee and Pittsburgh for best park in baseball.

Shoalzie · Post by **Shoalzie** » Sat Oct 08, 2011 2:13 pm

Morgan was bat shit crazy last year with the Nationals. I guess when you put a crazy guy on a winning team, he's quirky. If his team sucks, he's a cancer. I'm sure a lot of Brewer fans don't approve of his entire act. He's basically Milton Bradley on zoloft.

I was watching the Wings game but flipped over to TBS to find out what happened and the first thing I heard was him shouting "fuck yeah". I flipped the channel because it embarrassing to watch but at the same time, I figured only he would pull crap like that. He had the winning hit so obviously he was going be extra chesty and a bigger d-bag after the game.

Good for the Brewers...I got nothing against the team. My dad lives in Wisconsin and he's somewhat adopted the Brewers since he's lived there (sup Screw). I'd love a Brewers-Tigers World Series, TV execs be damned.

I thought I'd read a decent while ago that Selig had sold the Brewers. As it turns out, I was correct. Selig doesn't own the Brewers anymore, and hasn't since 2005, so what are you talking about? If anything, toss your trite crap Dins's way, not mine.

And baseball is the "quintessential" team game?

Yes, it is. Since you're supposed to be a writer, why are you struggling with 'quintessential'?

Only if morons are doing the arguing. Miller Park is never listed among the best parks in MLB.

Of course you would, because you are in fact the very moron referenced above. By nearly all unbiased accounts of people who've been to every ballpark, only Pittsburgh's place from among your three picks appears near the top of their lists. AT&T Park and Safeco tend to be the usual two choices.

Miller Field? Never a mention.

No, it isn't. But what would I know, I've only seen it in person. And everyone I've ever spoken to who's been there has also said it's a beautiful park. You're in the minority on this one, bud.

Van · Post by **Van** » Sat Oct 08, 2011 4:54 pm

Actually, no, I'm not. Reviews of Miller Park—meaning critiques by people who do unbiased, comparitive analysis of these things—usually make note of the proliferation of dull gray concrete that dominates throughout the facility. Watching the games on TV, yes, this is readily apparent. Moreover, there is often a gloomy pall over the proceedings whenever the roof is closed.

Contrast these things with the overall aesthetic of places like AT&T, PNC Park or Safeco, and the difference is readily apparent. It's a great facility, yes, but when it comes to 'eye candy' the place takes a decided backseat to quite a number of other MLB ballparks.

Lots of people go there and like it!"

Goddamn, Mgo, this was one of the stupidest arguments you've ever made. Then trying to bluster your way through by calling me out on something so easily proven? You of all people ought to know better.

Seek a messageboard divorce from Screwball. He's a straight-up idiot whose entire 'strategy' is one of obnoxiously flailing blindly away, all the while having no clue as to what he's talking about. That's your wife here.

I'm not hitching my wagon to Screw. I chimed in about Miller Park before he did. Clearly, my take was based on my own personal experiences of having seen the ballpark up close and personal on three separate occasions. Perhaps it's more difficult to appreciate on television.

Doubtful I'd put it in the top 3 ballparks in the country, though top 3 ballparks that I've been to.

Yes, well, I'd put Candlestick in the Top Five MLB ballparks I've been to. Of course, I've only been to five.

Mgo, I didn't say you were biased. I said that informed rankings of people who are unbiased continually place Miller Field nowhere near the top. You then asked for verifying links. I provided you with quite a few, and I could offer you many more. The results will not differ.

MgoBlue-LightSpecial · Sat Oct 08, 2011 9:37 pm

I'd put AT&T Park ahead of Miller Park, and I've never even been there. I never said Miller Park is the best structure on the planet, jeeezus, I'm sayin' it's an architectural marvel, and a really cool place to watch a ballgame, and that everyone I've spoken to who's been there has agreed. Sorry if I'm not going to put an ounce of stock in your c&p links to combat these claims of mine, from presumably a bunch of douchebags I'd also disagree with.

Oh, and Miller Park > Wrigley.

Van · Post by **Van** » Sat Oct 08, 2011 9:53 pm

How convenient. First you insult me, insinuating that I was merely making up these ballpark rankings that placed Miller Field nowhere close to the top. Then you asked for links, smugly assuming I'd be unable to produce any because I was just making this shit up. When I produced multiple links from such disparate sources as Forbes Magazine, ESPN and fan blogs, you simply dismissed them out-of-hand since none of them agree with your limited perception.

Remember your original argument, Mgo? "I've been there, and you haven't. Whose opinion has more credibility?" That was your ace in the hole.

Yeah, well, these links are from people who've been to each and every ballpark, and they all say you and especially Screwball are sorely mistaken. Oh, and my tv screen makes it abundantly clear that yes, Miller Field does feature endless slabs of dull gray concrete and dim, gloomy lighting. I didn't need twelve different verifying sources to tell me that.

The bottom line is you thought you had easy pickings here, and you made an ass out of yourself. Along the way, Screw proved his mettle while providing M Club all the rope he needed to prove his, as well.

So, cool, at least you have that over those two miserable cunts.

Miller Park is the new age Skydome...a concrete spaceship with a retractable roof. I've yet to watch a game there but I grabbed lunch with my dad at the Friday's in left field during an offday during a visit. There's nothing memorable about the inside. It's about 10 minutes away from downtown so you don't have the skyline or the feel of what city you're in. County Stadium was in a dull location and they made a mistake in building that in the shadow of the old park.

MgoBlue-LightSpecial · Sun Oct 09, 2011 1:44 pm

Made an ass of myself?

My original contentions were twofold: 1) No, Miller Park is actually pretty cool, based on a) actually having seen it in person and 2) Everyone I've spoken to who's been there has agreed. Unless you can refute those two things, one of which is purely personal opinion, and the other being completely irrefutable, then you should promptly shut the fuck up.
