well his power did bounce back in september after the callup (.255), but of course that was only a few games. The biggest number to look at is his power vs LHPers though, he had a 0.19 ISO last season vs. LHP.

I heard he is very fragile psychologically as well. If he can't crack the Pirates starting rotation at this point in his career it is a wrap.

Too bad we have to put him back in the AAA toy box after ST.

The Royals have retired three numbers: 5 (George Brett), 10 (Dick Howser) and 20 (Frank White). 5, 10, and 20. Based on that pattern, I wonder who's next?

This is an unfair dig and you know it.

Wrigley's probably Top 4 in attendance even in spite of that hilarious failure of a baseball team. Fucking hate Cubs game nights. Makes the commute home hell.

Francisco Cervelli will miss at least four weeks with a broken foot.
Click to expand...

I know he wasn't the best catcher, but i really liked him.
being hurt most likely means Montero will get the backup job and Cervelli will be used as trade bate to get a pitcher. =/
i will miss him.

Wrigley is an absolute must visit IMO. Amazing stadium, and my favorite I've ever been to. Took the place of old Yankee (until those fools tore it down and put up that new abomination) as my favorite stadium. I also liked Cleveland, and you can check out the Rock & Roll hall of fame while you are there. Avoid Milwaukee because it's shit and the fans are either asleep or chatting about random bullshit.

the only time i have been to a cubs game i sat in the bleachers with a braves shirt on, luckily they were playing the padres and there was a padres fan near me so he got all of the insults. But i guess its fine assuming you don't mind a few drunk idiots, but i guess that can be said for just about any stadium.

And as far as stadiums to go to, i'd say my top ones that i would want to go to besides wrigley are Yankee Stadium, At&t Park and PNC Park.

edit: oh and of course Fenway as well.

edit2: of course i want to go to all of them, even the marlins, rays and a's. I have a long way to go though, only been to Wrigley, Turner Field, Fulton County Stadium, Old Busch, New Busch, Arlington Stadium and Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.

Absolutely. If you're a baseball fan, you must visit Wrigley Field. Very cool feel with it being such a cozy stadium on the north side. You really feel like you're on top of the field. It's nice to walk up the concourse seeing the Chicago skyline - not that you can see it from your seats as your backs are most likely towards it.

Windu: I think that has more to do with you sitting in the bleachers. Cubs fans talk more than most baseball fans for sure - Wrigleyville becomes a zoo during the summer and is sort of shitty to live around the stadium, but it's worse around the bleachers and in the upper deck.

The one thing I hate about being a Braves fan is that we have the softest fans in the country. Lazy ass fans can't be bothered to exert themselves. I've been told twice by ushers to sit down because some asswipe chugging his 60 oz. Coke can't see the field...during a god damn rally. Also, I'm sure it's similar everywhere else in the country, but Turner Field gets completely taken over by Yankees and Red Sox fans when we play 'em in July. I understand that we're a city of transplants during the 90s, but it's obscene.

Ah, it's 'cause my seats at Turner have always been row 1. Strangely enough.

Derek Jeter Rejects Move To Outfield
ESPN said:
TAMPA, FL—During a post-workout press conference at the Yankees spring training facility Thursday, shortstop Derek Jeter once again rejected the idea of moving from shortstop to center field, citing the fact that he's Derek fucking Jeter and he'll play whatever fucking position he wants.

"I can see how people might think that moving to center field would be the right thing to do," the 36-year-old said. "I can also see—quite clearly, as a matter of fact—that none of those people are named Derek Jeter. You know, the same Derek Jeter who led the New York fucking Yankees to five World Series titles and restored the entire goddamn organization to prominence after a decade and a half of mediocrity. That Derek Jeter ring a fucking bell for anyone?"

Jeter, who signed a three-year contract with the Yankees this offseason amidst criticism of his defensive quickness and throwing arm, said he would be open to moving to the outfield if he were not 11-time All-Star and future first-ballot Hall of Famer Derek Jeter. However, according to Jeter, that's who he sure as fuck was the last time he looked in the mirror.

"So, I'll be playing whichever dicklick position I goddamn feel like," Jeter added. "Hell, maybe I'll play shortstop, third base, catcher, second base, and first base all at the same time. Have my own little around-the-horn circle jerk for five fucking hours if the mood strikes me. How'd that sit with everyone? Good? Good."

During the hour-long press conference, Jeter repeatedly clarified that he was only saying what he was saying because he is Derek fucking Jeter and he can say whatever the fuck he wants. When questioned about his inability to cover all parts of the shortstop position, Jeter asked reporters if they were five-time Gold Glove winners, and said that if they weren't, maybe they should just shut their fucking mouths.

At one point during the press conference, Jeter interrupted himself, stopping to see if he could remember which MLB player is the only one in the history of the game to win the All-Star Game MVP Award and the World Series MVP in the same year.

"Oh, that's right, it was New York Yankees shortstop and Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year Derek Jeter," the 16-year-veteran said. "Oh, wait! I'm Derek Jeter. I won the fucking MVP awards. Me. The same motherfucker who dove into the stands for a pop fly against the Red Sox and came out bloody and bruised. So there's no way I'm the guy Brian Cashman keeps talking about—the guy who sounds like a fucking quadriplegic who can't move two steps to field a fucking ground ball."

Jeter conceded that there are probably other people named Derek Jeter who would love to play center field for the New York Yankees, and encouraged team management to go out and try and sign one of them. However, he said, because he's the Derek Jeter who last won the league's highest defensive honor in "oh, I dunno, 2000 and fucking 10," he felt that shortstop suited him just fine.

In addition, Jeter said that the last time he checked, not only were Yankees backup shortstops Ramiro Pena and Eduardo Nunez not named Derek Jeter, but they more than likely had never put the most successful baseball organization in the history of the sport on their back season after goddamn season, and probably had never passed Lou fucking Gehrig to become the Yankees all-time hits leader.

"That's Lou Gehrig, the baseball player," Jeter said. "Not Lou Gehrig, the Nuts 4 Nuts guy who sells honey-roasted almonds and gives free blow jobs outside the stadium."

Jeter went on to note that being the Derek Jeter—the same one whose class and commitment has won over even the staunchest Yankee haters—is also the main reason he'll be the team's leadoff hitter for as long as he wants. It doesn't matter, he said, if the Yankees sign the next incarnation of Rickey Henderson, or fucking God for that matter.

"I bet nobody ever told Yogi Berra that he should stop catching, or told Joe DiMaggio that he should test the market to see if he could get a better offer," Jeter said. "And if they did, they were fucking pricks back then, too. You don't tell Yogi fucking Berra he can't catch, and you sure as shit don't say in the media that Derek Jeter isn't as fast or as good as he used to be, even if it's fucking true."

"You let the guy who's been the captain of your team for the past eight years leave with a little bit of goddamn dignity," Jeter added. "For Christ's sake, the last thing any of us have at the end of our careers is our dignity, and I swear to fucking God, if anybody tries to take that away from me again, I'll play on this team till I'm 95-fucking-years-old and have a colostomy bag tucked under my uniform. I don't care if we lose 162 games a season."

Jeter added that if anybody had a problem with anything he had just said, they could all go fuck themselves, especially that "fat fuck Hank [Steinbrenner]."
