SRQMan's birthday? Blumpkin's for everyone!

Just want to make sure everyone has a chance to read this outstanding refutal to all the BJ Upton lovers, as it just fell off the front page.

I swear, if this is another sockpuppet I’ll be so very disappointed.

The reason B.J. Upton walks alot:

“cause he takes a lot of 3rd strikes that are balls….”

WHY.

by R.J. Anderson on Aug 9, 2008 6:32 PM EDT up reply actions  

From what I hear

jp howell thinks he should have been an all star too. are you kidding me. oh and he is rubbing off on balfour and average player with a fastball but he doesn’t throw it all the time. he needs to work harder like eric gagne and papelbon and throw the right pitch. I guarantee they are jealous of Troy P. for getting all the saves on any other team they are just average relievers and not clutch like Miller.

Tim from Sydney (hey mate!!) mentioned Grant Balfour (Tampa Devil Rays) who was sent to Triple-A: Funny you mention that because he was one of the first people I spoke to. He and I are great friends and I have always looked up to him. He had some great insight on what he went through and how he dealt with it, I think his numbers prove how strong-minded he is.

You don't know the clubhouse atmosphere at all nor do you know how Bonds would fit in.

For all the dirt thrown on Barry only one teammate has ever had a huge issue with him, and that was Kent.

by R.J. Anderson on Aug 9, 2008 10:44 PM EDT up reply actions  

It's not about whether he will or not be a Ray. I've said he won't.

The point is you keep spewing bullshit about who would and would not fit in this clubhouse without basis. Unless 1) You’re in that clubhouse daily or 2) You know that player then don’t judge how he fits.
