Somebody

put that photo through a sepia filter, maybe add some artifacts. People would probably having a hard time telling it’s a 21st century player, not a 19th century player.

luke scott should join fox sports when he retires; he'd fit right in

http://fullcount.weei.com/sports/boston/baseball/red-sox/2012/02/29/rays-luke-scott-rips-red-sox-fans/

"[Red Sox] fans come in and they take over the city. They’re ruthless. They’re vulgar. They cause trouble. They talk about your family. Swear at you. Who likes that? When people do that, it just gives you more incentive to beat them," Scott told the website. "Then when things like [the last game of last season] happen, you celebrate even more. You go to St. Louis — classiest fans in the game. You do well, there’s no vulgarity. You know what? You don’t wish them bad."

Just wee-un.

Hello jesus christos

For all the “ill-will” we place towards StL Fans…I truly consider them “on our level”…generally knowledable and “classy”.

Really? St. Louis fans classy? Have you ever lived in Wrigleyville?

When I lived in Wrigleyville I could sleep to the white noise of the urine flowing in my alley from the red-clad hoard when the Cards were in town. It’s why the Gingerman hung the sign reading, “Classical Music Played Here” in its window. To keep out the Cardinal fans.

I know many Cub fans act like asshats on the road. I will just never forgive the Cardinal hicks for the nights of sleep they stole from me by yelling, peeing and high-fiving below my apartment.

by the nth on Feb 29, 2012 11:01 PM CST up reply actions  

Uhmm...Erh...

would yoou accept “knowledable” perhaps? :] And, I was referring to StL fans in general not to those whom over-drink, puke, shout etc. at Wrigley. (Also, that doesn’t appear to have been a situation that you couldn’t have resolved with a few well-placed rounds of .40 cal) :]

F*ck cards fans. Lived with 3 (not all at the same time) over the 9 years I lived in Chicago. Insufferable.

Also, the only fans to yell legless jokes at me while rocking my #10 jersey. That also happened right after Neifi Perez cracked a grand slam in extras to win in old busch. F them.

Smells like bullshit in here.

I believe

there’s a straitjacket with his name waiting somewhere.

Normal people do not bring giant hunting spears into clubhouses, nor have a track record of spears and guns and play “shoot the commies!” with an invisible machine gun.

Perfect.

Now we know what Baker can do when he retires from baseball — play Hitch in movies.

I'm now convinced

That Baker was staring down the photographer and saying, “No. No, I will not strike a cheezy pose. Try and make me.”
