I'm sure its just his name, whatever race he is. If I was getting a shirt, I'd consider getting Theriot - I know he's not the best player out there, but it doesn't mean I don't really want him to do well when he is because, as Abe says, he busts his ass everyday.

 

That said, I'd probably get Izturis, because those shirts would be dirt cheap.

 

They might even pay you to take that jersey. :P

Where do you go to get a customized jersey or, preferably, jersey t-shirt? I'd love to have a Dunston t-shirt.

 

They're available at the MLB.com shop.

Oddly, I was playing about with the shirt customiser thing before the All-Star Game, and it wouldn't let me have Izturis - 3, though I was allowed other Cubs - I seem to remember having no problem with Hill and Fontenot. Strange.

they won't let you do a dunston shirt online...it says "Your current entry cannot be processed. Some entries are prohibited due to guidelines for past and present player names. Please create a new entry" when you try to do his name and number.

With all the underachievement the Cubs have gotten out of their prospects in the past few years, I think we fans of the Cubs appreciate players like Ryan Theriot who busts his ass and plays the game the right way.

 

That is why he is so popular, and it has nothing to do with his skin color.

 

THANK YOU

 

We've been in severe need of an overachieving Freel type for years. I don't care if he's purple with pink polka dots.

My sentiment exactly; I like the way the kid plays.

 

Remember that win against the Mets a few weeks ago, where Theriot caught a break on a close play at first and it turned out to be a crucial call in the game? After the game, someone asked him about the play and added that replays showed he was out. Theriot just calmly asserted "no I was safe" [not "I thought I was safe"], then he hesitated and added "But if I was out then it just makes up for another play where I was safe and the ump called me out." Gotta love that karma reference; something a die-hard fan might say.

<3 The Riot.

 

I finally understand the Cards' fans fascination with Eckstein. It's impossible to dislike Theriot, especially after that SI blurb about him and Fontenot.

 

If you missed it, Fontenot is basically crashing with Theriot and his family in between residences, and Mike said that Riot sometimes takes off for a night with his wife and tells him he needs to watch the kids. :D

i posed the question, didn't say i agreed

 

nice backtrack. nobody poses that type of question if there isn't some sort of belief on their part.

 

if you didn't believe any of it then that would be the same thing as me asking, are people trashing jones in the first half because he is black? it is painstakingly obvious the fact that he wasn't performing was the cause for the bashing, but under your criteria it's a valid question.

 

people that bash michael vick are racist too. ](*,)

Are you serious? That's [expletive]. If they won't let me make my own Dunston t-shirt, then freaking make one available for me to purchase. Not being able to buy one, in one way or another, is absolutely [expletive].

If the issue of race regarding player popularity is discussed, please do so tactfully and without accusations.
