Everyone here knows my thoughts and feelings on Yadi. I welcome all of you to the Church of the Stupid Neck Tattoos and Amazing Defense.

E: To all you reluctant Cubs fan converts, go back and watch the David Ross game. Watch Yadi make time at each AB to make sure Ross got an ovation. Yadi is wonderful.

I REALLY want to spend an week in an alternate universe where Molina plays for, not an arch enemy like the Cubs, but someone like the Brewers just to see how the BFIB react to the demonstrative brown guy with the neck tattoos kicking their rear end.

He really is good and I'm glad things like the WBC exist so I can watch him with less jaundiced eyes.

Israel's hats already look fantastic, that redesign looks like a trucker cap. Just remove the I and make the star white on their existing caps. I do wish more teams didn't just go with letters on the caps, even if it's just something like Australia's southern cross. (South Africa's interlocking SA looks really good, though.)

Those Netherlands, Italy, and Puerto Rico caps are seriously great, though.

Closest I can think of is Cueto/Phillips from the CIN days, but that's tainted by the 2010 brawl so it's not a great comparison. I think Marte/Cutch are both well-liked or at least not despised in BFiB circles, but they're not as demonstrative as Yadi is.

Bautista is an rear end in a top hat, too. We just don't see it because it doesn't get caught on camera so much. I have heard multiple commentators say he is not well liked around baseball.


I put very little faith in the "not like around by other pros" or "clubhouse cancer" stuff. Often its media who aren't a fan of a players dealings with them ala Bonds, but often its just the greatest players are also really intense off the field and really focused type A's that come across that way. Just like Donaldson is such an ultimate gamer, but from the little I've seen of his personality I would not want to be friends with the guy at all.

Best not to think too much about their personalities away from the game, hell this forum politically is divergent with probably 95% of players, let alone religiously.

Agreed.

Bautista has a reputation as being rather whiny which you could pick up on from watching him play because he complains to umps a lot. I'm not saying he is one way or the other, but if you're saying he's well liked by his teammates well simultaneously dismissing that others have said he isn't well liked around the league than what is the difference? No one really knows and ultimately it doesn't matter. He could be totally fine, he could be a jerk that no one likes.

Apple Pie Nachos:
fried tortilla covered in cinnamon/powdered sugar
wedge slices of apples, covered in cinnamon/powdered sugar
cheddar cheese
vanilla ice cream
whip cream

but seriously, if you are going to a game in Denver, only order minimum food/drink at the ballpark, and eat/drink at the hundreds of places around the ballpark instead.

In an absolute shocker, the World Baesball Classic is a complete clusterfuck when it comes to tiebreakers, and Adrian Gonzalez is pissed.

quote:

"They're trying to become the World Cup, but they're not even close to being the Little League World Series," he said Wednesday.

Gonzalez's Mexican team beat Venezuela 11-9 Sunday in Guadalajara, leaving both teams tied with Italy for second in Group D behind Puerto Rico (3-0). The World Baseball Classic Twitter account initially announced Monday's tiebreaker game would be between Mexico and Italy. But the WBC technical committee determined the tiebreaker -- runs allowed per defensive inning -- meant Italy (1.05) and Venezuela (1.11) advanced and not Mexico (1.12).
http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/...ico-elimination

e: lol

quote:

Gonzalez said he spoke with Kim Ng, Major League Baseball's senior vice president for baseball operations, and was told the WBC technical committee was not responsible for the information disseminated on Twitter by the WBC and MLB.

"You're MLB! What do you mean you're not accountable?" Gonzalez said he responded.

Dodgers teammate Joc Pederson walked up to the crowd of reporters around Gonzalez and said: "Unbelievable, huh? What kind of rules are those?"

"Mexico! Mexico! Mexico!" Pederson chanted loudly.

I'm planning an art project where I attempt to replicate a likeness of one of Bud Selig's sculpted bronze busts that will be displayed in Cooperstown. Except instead of bronze I plan on leaving a huge mound of taffy in the sun until it melts enough to bear a close resemblance and then spray it with that antique bronze rust-oleum.

Currently trying to figure out how to deal with the ants, which will be a pretty big issue.
