Oops! After giving up a two-run shot to Chipper Jones.....

That is one UGLY mutha!

 

[SouthernN'Proud]

...in an even uglier suit!

 

[abooja]

I think he looks beautiful. He's a skilled professional in a pinstriped power suit. What's better than that?

Oh, and "Chipper" ain't a real name.

 

[HomeLAN]

Real enough to tag him for 2 runs.

Spring training is like an engagement: until you get the ring, it don't mean a thing.

Oh, and Chipper is still a stupid name. Is he a man or a golf club? Or a beaver? Chipper.

 

[HomeLAN]

Oh, I'll agree that Spring training in a mere warm-up. However, it isn't entirely meaningless.

As to names, who gives a damn. You can call him Larry all you want, as long as he hits 40 homers or more per year. Preferably off Yankee pitching.

 

[abooja]

Keep dreaming.

And if Randy Johnson's real name was Turd Wiper, I'm sure you would be all over that.

 

[HomeLAN]

With that fastball? Doubtful. Until he was on the mound against the Braves anyway.

Seriously, I think Chipper's HR average is higher at fields where they like to chant "Laaaaarry, Laaaaaarry". Keep it up. Please.

 

[SouthernN'Proud]

Lord, if my daddy knew I was siding with a Braves fan...

 

[Stop Laughing]

You're fighting the greater evil, man.

"That was his first outing," said Jones, who is 10-for-27 in his career against Johnson with six homers. "He wasn't out there blowing his normal 96 and 97. I got ahead in the count and could sit on the fastball. ... When he's on like he was last year, you're not going to hit him. When he's getting ahead of you and dictating the pace of the game, he's going to be awfully tough to hit."

Haters.

 

[Inkara1]

Funny how after A-Rod moved to New York, the Yankees suffered the biggest choke in the history of the playoffs while the Rangers improved by 16 wins.

 

[SouthernN'Proud]

Even funnier how every team he leaves seems to improve almost instantly.

Haters.

How about complimenters. Try to give your lagging pitcher a break, and you bring out the haters line. Sounds like some inferiority complex beginning to brew.

A sign of things to come?

Don't assume that I represent the Yankees. I'm just another fan trying to fend off unwarranted attacks. You guys are the haters, not Golf Club.

The Rangers?!!

 

[chcr]

National League fans give me gas.

 

[HomeLAN]

I'll have to agree with you on the Rangers. My bro-in-law is a fan, and I have to bite my tongue a lot.

However, I'll damn sure root for 'em against the Yanks!

 

[Gonz]

National League fans give me gas.

Our pitchers are real baseball players

 

[HomeLAN]

Well said.
