Geovany Soto Named NL Rookie of the Year

[imb]

It seriously is a huge embarrassment for everyone involved that Volquez was 4th in votes. How does this go overlooked? It's bad enough that some of the moron voters made the mistake, but how could they not have been corrected and told that they need to change their votes? For this mistake to make it all the way to the official press releases is pretty bad.

 

And Loney came in 7th place.

 

I mean, there were question on whether Loney was a rookie or not in 2007.

 

MLB has since removed Loney from the standings. BTF speculates that it was a programming error on their side.

Some idiot White Sox fan on another board is trying to convince me that Soto used steroids.

Geovany Soto doesn't use steroids. Steroids uses Geovany Soto.

 

Whatever that means

Steve Stone implied it, so pretty much every White Sox fan believes it. There's no reasoning with them, just let it die.

And this gives me a pretty weak excuse to bring this back from '05.

 

on the score:

 

stone: kerry, your mechanics suck, you throw across your body too much, blah blah blah.

 

average cub fan on the street: (monotone, staring straight ahead, glassy-eyed) steve stone knows and sees all. wood is a terrible pitcher because of his mechanics and always has been, why doesn't he strike 20 guys out per game?. i love steve stone, must make him mine.

 

terry boers: i'm outraged by the bears behavior and i will not stop being indignant about it! .................and steve stone is god, kerry wood sucks, ron santo has no legs.

 

stone: the thing about it is, it's just that his mechanics are so terrible and he throws across his body, i've pleaded with him to stop, but, since i've never actually met him, he's not answering my messages.

 

dan bernstein: what's that again, steve? i mean, besides my show being built solely on the premise of ron santo having no legs and us being totally morally outraged by the bears?

 

steve: well, dan, it's his mechanics, he throws across his body, it's very technical stuff, i assure you, only something my massive brain could understand. very very technical jargon, dan, i mean it.

 

terry boers: really?

 

stone: very technical indeed.

Oh, don't worry. I'm done arguing with him. I just find it absurd and sad in the first place.

You should have countered with Ozzie giving McDowell roids back in the day, then gracefully bowed out while the board exploded.

It's not a sports board, so I doubt the whole board would have exploded. ;)

Much of this was lost on me.

VottoOnBismarck: the heart of our lineup is the failed-Oriole one-two punch of Jerry Hairston and Corey Patterson

 

VottoOnBismarck: we should sign Luis Matos and build a dynasty

Looking back, Geo is pretty much the only lasting bright spot for the season for me (still bitter... lol)
