Haha yeah. I bumped into Bobby Abreu and Pat Burrell 10 years ago, they were douches. Also bumped into AJ Burnett and Carlos Pavano a few weeks later. They were douchey as well.Players that I met that were really nice: Jim Thome, Chase Utley (ironically), Jimmy Rollins, Juan Pierre, Dontrelle Willis, and Luis Castillo lol.

 

I try hard not to judge players for being standoffish. Those small snippets don't really tell you much about what they are like most times.

 

Fans are on them like fat kids on smarties 24/7. Its got to wear on you even though without fans they don't make the $ they do.

 

I just appreciate it when they go out of their way to do something nice for kids etc to give them a memory. Like this year when Edwin had the whole team sign an artificial leg (which had a Jays logo on it) for a little kid from AB who flew to see them in TOR. To me, that says something about E-Rex.

Oh my God, I sure as f*** didn't miss you. Anemic Offense, correct? Or are you going to hide behind this fallacy you call a moniker?

 

I figured I'd attempt to be cool and score brownie points with the nerds by shortening my name, a la BTS/NJH/GD *not really*. It's just funny how butthurt you're getting that I'm back. No worries, I'll be banned by some mod for no reason soon anyway.

I'm assuming you mean the good kind of Smarties, the Canadian kind, not what Americans call Smarties which is what we call Rockets (and might as well be chalk).

I'm not allowed to have a preference as to what team wins the World Series?

You are allowed, but it must be the correct preference.

All the casual fans thought he didn't look like he tried hard and called him lazy and a team cancer. The Vernon Wells treatment.

 

That was exactly it. That and the autograph thing. When we traded him I said Jays would regret it and he'd become a star. He had a decent career but surely didn't live up to his potential.

How can you be a mod and hold this opinion? We need some better judges of character calling the shots around here ffs.

X Files and...

 

You know you watched and loved The OC, Party of Five and 90210. Fox has a great history of cancelling their best shows way too early (Herman's Head, Brisco County, Firefly, Arrested Development come to mind)

That was basically it from what I remember at the time. I thought it was weird why we gave up on him so quickly. That season as a whole was weird, we got off to a great start that season, Hill and Lind looked like all-stars for the future, but you had Wells and Rios who struggled. We gave Kevin Millar a whole bunch of starts too for god knows what reason. Bautista and Ruiz though lol, went out with a bang that year.

 

Man I hate JP Riccardi, I remember when his face went on the jumbotron in the last game of the season thanking fans... f*** him lol

Didn't Kevin Millar play 3B a couple of times? And he always hit like 4th or 5th haha.

Kevin Millar was a veteran who paid his dues. Hitting him anywhere but 4th or 5th would have been disrespectful.

True, I guess I was judging them based on "small size samples" haha.

 

And yeah I remember that move by Eddy, very classy and you can tell that he's a good guy!

D'arnaud has such a quick bat. Tough luck DP. I thought injuries were going to completely derail him but it looks like they got a good one there.
