What will the reaction be when McGwire hits Wrigley?

The nerve of that guy. Taking a job in Major League Baseball.

What an ass.

[The Voice of Reason]

Now that he doesn't look like a cartoon character anymore, he actually looks a lot better. Give him his street in St. Louis back.

[Magdal]

He is a bloated fool with an IQ hovering about 100....he is a career hitter of about a .275 lifetime ave. A free swinging meathead that has embarassed himself real bad, but he don't care...he has a JOB! :D)

[Hairyducked Idiot]

100 IQ isn't bad.

[illiniguy]

100 IQ isn't bad.

Nor is a .275 when you add it too a .400 obp and a .600 slugging.

You can't be a real person. It would blow up my world.

A free-swinger with a career .394 OBP? You realize you have no idea what you're talking about, right?

I'm not sure how to answer this as I surely don't want your world to blow up! I am very real and very full of disgust..sorry if it rubs wrong.

Svengarlic?

Svengarlic?

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

I think it's some sort of Norse pesto.

 

 

I think he's trying feebly to call Mac a Svengali, which is funny on many levels.

If you're going to insult him, get it right: .263.

Sad that I have to explain this simple joke...LaRussa is the Svengali...a literary and movie hypnotist from the '30s who controls his victom....replacing "garlic" for "gali" is a 3 Stooges malaprope for laughs, impuning the great mans breath.

 

Can you put it all together now?

[SouthSideRyan]

I was questioning how you could make such a terrible joke.

Given the usual eloquence of your posts, I thought it more likely you didn't know what a Svengali was, or that you may have been one of the three stooges. If you want people to buy that you actually intended that obscure and dated humor, you might want to work on not expressing yourself with such mangled diction.

 

And the Svengali character dates to the late nineteenth, and the use of Svengali as a term pre-dates the 30's, but I'm sure that's what you meant, and were just flustered at having to disseminate to the simple folk.

 

But please, continue to enlighten and entertain us with your delicious brand of humor.

Ahh, a jab at someone's ethnicity. That's always good for laughs.

If you say he goes back that far, then fine.....all I know is that Barrymore played him in the early '30s. And what difference does it make when nobody even knew what I was talking about?

 

You certainly didn't chime in until I explained it. You had plenty of time to Google it....funny how the topic was twisted, Huh? And it's also funny that the Cards hitting is the worst this Spring so far for 30 years back.

 

I'm STILL waiting for somebody to explain to me how he can teach hitting...so one demensional....can't bunt, can't go to right, cant shorten up to just make contact to move the runners.....It's just a freaking joke...the whole thing!

 

But Svengarlic don't get all the blame. DeWhit and the owner allowed it to happen. It's just a big black eye on the Club!

You know who could do all those things? Lenny Harris, without a doubt the worst hitting coach of the 21st century.

 

Lucky for us, all McGwire's gonna do is teach them how to hit HRs.

Why exactly does one have to be that type of hitter in order to successfully teach hitting? You make it sound like he's going to turn Brendan Ryan and Skip Schumaker into pull-happy, swing-for-the-fence type hitters, when that's most likely not going to happen.

[Maclowery]

I'm confused. Are you implying that Mark McGwire should have bunted more in his career?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

This thread is all kinds of disasterous.
