Interesting... Yost broke collarbone, Ichiro re Wrigley

[Soul]

It does smell a little worse than the newer stadiums, but I don't see how it's that bad.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

I'm a little hung up on the phrase "fresh garbage".

If this was discussed before, my apologies in advance since the search function doesn't work, or other wise, I would had searched for that discussion.

 

I wasn't aware of this one....

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.

 

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?

 

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

 

Didn't he do it diving into the endzone when scoring a touchdown?

[SouthSideRyan]

The trough rules.

Yeah, and he landed on his shoulder.

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

 

"Stupid gaijin", followed by :roll:

[Cubsown2007]

No offense to anyone guys, but I don't really care where my piss goes. Why is it such an issue?

 

Actually I take it back, take offense if you like. That's just [expletive].

[Tracer Bullet]

I'm a little hung up on the phrase "fresh garbage".

 

Why? Doesn't fresh garbage just mean that it's garbage that just got thrown out or taken to the dump? I don't understand why that's a problem.

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

 

He's one of several opposing players that has expressed dislike of some aspect of the stadium. I don't get why this is such a big deal. Maybe the visitors locker room smells like crap. I have no idea. And if it does and some player doesn't like it, why can't they say so. How is it disrespectful? I realize that Wrigely, to Cubs fans and some other baseball fans, is a place worthy of honor and respect. But for many people, it's just a stadium. And if they think it stinks, big deal.

[Warpticon]

I really don't get where national background has anything to do with anything here.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

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

 

have you tried looking in one of the areas designated as a men's restroom? STOP PEEING IN YOUR EMPTY OLD STYLE CUPS

Well obviously, the meaning of his quote is lost in translation. What he said was actually meant to be a compliment, as fresh garbage is a delicacy in Japan.

Excellent :lol:

Ichiro thinks we should keep this up, because it was the best part of the thread. Also, he expressed interest in coming to Chicago next year, as well as women that breed horses.

Just seems a bit like an oxymoron to me.

 

But, then again if it's "fresh garbage" maybe he was being complimentary.

I think there's a strong possibility it's the visitor's locker room. I've never been in there, but I've heard more than once that it's amazingly bad. I doubt Ichiro was walking around finding bathrooms in the concourse before or after the game. He probably stuck to his hotel room, the bus, and the visitor's locker room.

 

I really don't care what opposing teams think of their accomodations anyway.
