Baseball Thread 5 - #5 George Brett Has a Story to Tell

The Pirates still suck...a lot. But for the first time since 1997, I'm actually enjoying watching them at times. Morgan and McCutchen at the top of the lineup are fun to watch. McCutchen hasn't been up for long and he's already tied with Morgan for the NL lead in triples with five.

 

Jayson Werth really enjoys punishing the Toronto Blue Jays.

Notice the completely different tones of these two stories from the same interview. The ESPN one left out the positive quotes, for whatever reason (probably an effort to stir up shit). Maybe the ESPN guy just got there late for the interview and missed the more neutral or positive quotes. Anyway ... it looks sloppy.

Hell, Bradley will give you plenty of ammunition throughout the course of the season. No need to take context out of it.

 

Aaron Fucking Heilman.

 

Santo is all but wishing ill to him on the air right now. It's hilarious.

 

Atlanta's Eric O'Flaherty HAS to play for the BoSox at some point. With that name, it has to happen.

His entrance music is the Dropkick Murphy's "I'm Shipping Up To Boston," for crying out loud.

 

McCutchen is the shit.

 

Oh, are you fucking kidding me./cubs

 

I will say it again: Aaron Fucking Heilman.

 

Fixed.

 

It isn't like Heilman came with a good resume or anything.

At this point, the Cubs would be better off with Warren Brusstar or Les Lancaster, or any random kid from the low minors.

 

Warren Brusstar. Now there's a blast from the past. Awesome.
