Fourth prize (coaching-staff division): So which is more hazardous to your health -- fitness or recreation? Well, Brewers manager Ned Yost tried the fitness route by jogging to Wrigley Field -- only to trip on some loose concrete and break his collarbone.

 

Also as this.

 

 

Third prize: On how his first visit to Wrigley Field reminded him of an old stadium from his youth in Japan: "It had a similar smell of fresh garbage."

Len and Bob talked about this during a home series against the Brewers. How do you not catch yourself, or at least keep yourself from landing on your collarbone?

You can break your collarbone while still bracing yourself. (See Peterson, Adrian)

Well, yeah, it's easier to break anything in a football game when you're going full speed and huge men are barreling at you. But when you're out for a morning jog in Wrigleyville?

[Drew Doughty]

Ichiro is hilarious.

[Roast]

Ichiro is really obnoxious.

[B]

Ichiro is pretty.

[Abe Frohman]

Ichiro wears his pants like Ed Grimley.

[XZero771679666304]

Ichiro is right, unfortunately.

[seanimal]

Ichiro gets on base like half of the time but hits for no power and thus is essentially worthless at his postion.

You mean CF? And he has hit as many as 15 homers, and carries a mid-.400's SLG to go with his .379 career OBP, 30+ steals per year and stellar defense. Granted the OBP is AVG heavy, but he does it year in and year out, so who cares?

 

Currently, his OPS is .865, which is 6th among CF, but would be 7th among RF, his old position. His career OPS of .818 would be at least adequate at any OF position.

[Tracer Bullet]

earth2sean is wrong about Ichiro's value.

[TruffleShuffle]

TruffleShuffle is trying to figure out how a player with the fourth highest VORP among ALL position players can be considered "essentially worthless at his position."

B/c there a people around here who bash Ichiro so much its like he owes them money.

what would happen if an American went on Japanese media and said one of the stadiums smelled like Garbage?

 

 

Ichiro can take his smart ass back to Japan for all I care. Show some respect, dude.

I dont get the whole "Wrigley is a dump" thing anyway. If by "a dump" you mean it's not made out of entirely metal and plastic and doesn't feel like a hospital, then sure. But I dont know what people mean when they say it smells, i've been there plenty of times and never smelled anything foul (except maybe some people sitting next to me).

 

My only complaint about wrigley is the giant piss-trough in the bathroom.

I believe most of the complaints about Wrigley come from players/reporters in regards to the clubhouses, press boxes, etc. As a fan, I have no complaints and think it looks great, but I think some of the players feel differently based on parts of the stadium that we don't get to see.

Where is this piss trough? I've been to Wrigley many times but never have seen the trough.

 

Please don't cite that stupid internet video --- I think that was at a NASCAR race :)

Yeah, but he broke it by falling on his right shoulder. He wasn't even really tackled.

upper deck, way down the right field line

[bhogg]

I bet it's tough to even get a restroom in the upper decks.

I can't think of a bathroom at Wrigley that DOESN'T have troughs. Well, except maybe the women's bathrooms, cause that'd just be awkward.

Seriously? What bathroom DID you go to? I've been to bathrooms all over the park and I can't think of one without the big trough.

Me too. I've been to at least a dozen games and sat in both the upper and lower decks and I've always seen the trough.

Yeah, I can't recall not seeing a trough. I've sat all over the place, too.
