1st place Red Sox brush away hapless Yankees & Arods as old and frail as Jeter

[Down38st8]

Any doubt that I'm sole owner of this guys head?

Now he's even stealing my material...and even with that, your posts still suck

"I invented hash tags, I'm also the smartest baseball fan in the world, I also religiously follow all things new england and am a complete expert on all related NE subjects"

 

[cerealboi]

Joey Votto isnt producing like a 25 million dollar a year guy.

"Yeah but look at his OBP"

Well neither is Albert. So the Reds have that going for them.

 

[Down38st8]

"How do you even know he's from New England?"

Just because you deleted it before I could quote it to respond, doesn't mean you didn't post it.

And the complete uno-transformation is....complete...

Congrats.

I thought the hashtag was originally Snoogins' schtick.

2 outs with RISP, Votto is hitting a Rafael Belliard like .125. His late and close hitting has been OK, he just doesnt get that big 2 out hit when you need it. "yeah but he walks a lot".

Did you know, Dan Uggla lead the NL in walks last year?

"Yeah but look at his OBP"

hes led the league in walks and intentional walks the last 2 years

kinda hard to drive in runs when you are being walked like that

on the inverse of that, ortiz and cano lead the AL in IBB with 14 each and have outproduced votto by a lot offensively

JD has a case, but to say hes "overrated" is a bit much

 

[Mike Oxlodge]

2 outs with RISP Freedie Freeman is hitting .421


Freeman's 2013 salary .....$570K.

 

[cerealboi]

I'd still much rather have Joey Votto and the rest of his contract than Carl Crawford and the rest of his or Adrian Gonzalez and the rest of his.

A Reds fan calling Votto overrated, a Braves fan calling Heyward overrated before his first plate appearance, what a bunch of homers.

Ready?

Name the guy currently making north of $20m that is living up to that contract....

His job is to be a better baseball player than what he's exhibited since last July.

"He's winning. Look at his screen name" - New England

No, his job is to be a baseball player, I'm fairly certain. I've never seen an official MLB job description, so I could be wrong. Maybe he also helps in some other capacity, like working in their file room or making sure all the water coolers are filled before games.

 

[Rock Strongo]

LMAO

just saw this?


George Zimmerman, who has been in hiding since he was acquitted of murder in the death of Trayvon Martin, emerged to help rescue someone who was trapped in an overturned truck, police said today.
Sanford Police Department Capt. Jim McAuliffe told ABC News that Zimmerman "pulled an individual from a truck that had rolled over" at the intersection of a Florida highway last week.

A Reds fan calling Votto overrated, a Braves fan calling Heyward overrated before his first plate appearance, what a bunch of homers.

A reds fan calling Votto overrated is being spoiled. You may have a point about Heyward.

Miggy Cabrera?

 

[ImSmartherThanYou]

ellsbury isnt sniffing 150 million

Never said he was, nor should he.

 

[Kate Upton]

oh yeah

i mis-read your post

sorry?

It's alright buddy.

I'm only saying this though to stop World from calling me names.

His objective, reasonable, and informed analysis of me is hurting my feelings.

 

[Rock Strongo]

one record we may never ever see fall?

120 intentional walks by bonds in 2004

the closest guy to that mark in MLB history NOT named barry bonds is willy mccovey with 45 in 1969

crazier?

9 of the top 20 all time IBB seasons? bonds

It is a bit much...he obviously doesn't suck.

But he's not being what the Reds paid him or need him to be either.
