He’s one of the greatest players of all-time. He’s passionate and doesn’t give a shit about the other team. I’m not really looking for a player on my team to have a positive affect for his opponents.

Well, if he was on your team, would you feel differently? I’m not a Bulls or Celtics fan, but I see it as passion—albeit, over the top passion—for his team. You could say Jokim Noah is a bit ridiculous at times, too. I think Garnett deserves to do as he pleases these days, he was loyal to a team for 10 or so years, they sucked ass and had absolutely horrible management and owneeship, and he busted his ass to win a championship. What a career.

So the other players are just better

If you are a major leaguer, you don’t suck. I don’t see why you are struggling with the logic

I don't see why you're arguing semantics

you know perfectly well when he says he sucks, he means he sucks compared to other major leaguers.

What has impressed me about Soriano this season

He is less swing-happy, he seems to be taking a ton of more walks

Movement to make Jeff Samardzija our closer!

by Chanman25 on Apr 28, 2009 9:44 PM CDT reply actions  

it's very

lead-off runner of him.

RIOT BASE HIT! HILL SCORES, SORI TO THIRD!

I've noticed the same thing.

I hope it holds up. He will be ridiculously dangerous with more walks in the leadoff position.
