Oh Altuve amazes me. At 5’6”, he’s basically me minus about 100 lbs haha. He reminds me my stature isn’t what kept me from playing pro ball — rather it was more my lack of world-class talent combined with a shitty work ethic.

Good stuff! I hear ya. I was more of a track and field kid way back when. Hence the D-2 and NAIA offers while in high school. Still rocking during these later years while I'm realistically overweight.

Little brother played a couple years for ATL Braves minor leagues farm teams. He still kicks himself in the ass. 6'2" 240 back then.

[thabigbluenation]

never liked baseball - scared me more than any other sport as a kid
(long story)

but I'm working with 2 guys that LOVE them some Diamondbacks and Yankees

They've been explaining that insufferable sport to me and I"ve been pulling against their teams and generally complaining about "THE FIX BEING IN" and "BAD STRIKE ZONE CALLS"


they still love me though

With the evidence stated in the post above entered as proof of worth...I make a double motion to make castlewyvernrubric a permanent honorary member of the NOB and to induct him into the Good Guys Hating Insufferable Fandomhood HOF.

As a long suffering but paying member in good standing of the GGHIF let me be the first to say, "Welcome aboard, brother!"

YES

[Mashburned]

Oh mfer.

I'm a goner.

Spent 2 hours inhaling car chemicals yesterday, is that bad, too?

Ate sausage and bacon for dinner. Mfer. FTBGE.

Look at that fat round face

My fave part about her face is how it matches her fat, round titties.

 

[-Mav-]

Ummmmm...Mr. curve ball says, "Hello!?!?!???"

Well, yeah there is that — but most MLB pitchers are man enough to throw you at least a couple speedballs per at bat.

 

[-Mav-]

Oh sure, pussboi Cam Newton can pile up the points when things are going well, but when you need tough points the motherf..ker serves up two interceptions.

Hey Cammie, you gonna break out that Harry Potter costume for today’s postgame presser? You bitch.

 

[Kaizer Sosay]

YES

Post. That's it. That's your only duty.

Would be nice if your contributing posts were funny, entertaining, and/or at least interesting on occasion...but one look around this joint will tell you that being funny or interesting certainly isn't a requirement for inclusion.

 

[CastleRubric]

So - two baseball dudes and me sitting in a bar two nights ago

And while I don't liek baseball = I remember a lot of players from when I was a kid and I wanted to see what they thought about them

I'd like to hear the same from you folks


1) Fernando Valenzuela
2) George Brett
3) Billy Martin / Manager
4) Wade Boggs
5) Kirby Puckett
6) Cecil Fielder?

1) weird wind up and delivery complete with lizard like eye rolling technique that added at least 10mph to his speedball. Decent hitter for a MLB pitcher.
2) Hemroids and pine tar
3) Hired by Steinbrenner to manage the deplorable Yanks...kicked some dirt on a few umpires...fired...hired again so he could kick some more dirt on a few more umpires...fired again. Played for the A's I think and even managed them for a minute or two???
4) Helped beat the Yankees a few times and that's all that really matters. Never won a WS.
5) Great hitter for the Twins. Won two WS rings including going from worst to first in early 90-something. Died shortly after HOF induction?
6) Fat boy. Hit a bunch of dingers...or struck out. Not much in between. Jr played in the show as well.

1.) Best 47 year old rookie in MLB history
2.) Was hitting guru Charlie Lau’s gay lover during the mid-70s and early 80s
3.) Fiesty, and the third, fifth, sixth, ninth, fourteenth, and twenty-second greatest manager in Yankees history.
4.) A chicken-eating hit machine with a top-3 porn ‘stache and a penchant for ugly whores
5.) Glaucoma hampered his sexual assault game in his final years, but in his prime he could harass with the best of ‘em
6.) Tipping the scales at a svelte 419 pounds, Fielder is the only player in history to hit 50+ HRs with a body fat % of 50+

didn't Wade Boggs once drink like 80 beers on a cross country flight? pretty legendary if true.

don't know about Boggs, but had a buddy tell me about a Mexican guy at happy hour $1 beers at O'Charleys on Nich rd who drank 72 beers. Watress showed my buddy his receipt. Said it happened. Had to kick him out.

 

[Kooky Kats]

George Brett big fan of the double-tapered shit.

 

[Kooky Kats]

Looking at Judge/Altuve on field - dominating the AL with completely different physical body types... got me thinking...

Who’s your favorite tiny (dominating) big guy/small guy in NBA?

I got :

Kareem
Iverson

Muggsy was indeed tiny, but he wasn’t dominating the floor.

Maybe Isaiah?

Wilt dominated vaginas, for sure.

Best era in my basketball lifetime.

Isaiah is a great choice. I'd say either him or Nate Archibald -- the only person ever to lead the NBA in scoring and assists in the same year.

AI would have been better if he had taken practice seriously.

PRACTICE?!?!?!? We ain't talking about games...we talking 'bout practice. PRACTICE!?!?!?!?!

@Kooky Kats if you drink enough you can't tell good weather from bad weather.

 

[funKYcat75]

Since Mash didn’t trade me his backup qb, I am hereby cursing Carson Wentz with Haïtian Voodo Magic tonight.

 

[Kaizer Sosay]

Amari Cooper scored 33 last night.

#fearthedrunks.

Apparently the rest of your team forgot to show up this week.

Alas, drunk Texans riding bicycles are no match for the fantastical juggernaut that is the Mean Machine.

My poor QB got knocked out for 8 weeks. Lost my kicker before half-time. What a debacle.

Time to reload.
