  2. w2g Drew!
  3. .303/.401/.529/.930 and 141 OPS+ over 19 years are monster numbers.
  4. I don't think so. It's not terribly too often that a first ballot guy has a bona fide final season. First, there aren't that many first ballot guys out there to begin with. Second, many times those guys just up and retire in the offseason or are forced to retire because of injury. Also, it's not like Chipper is a Bonds or Albert Belle or is otherwise disagreeable to many people in the baseball world. So to me this just seems like a natural outpouring of appreciation to one of the best to ever play his position and a generally likeable guy to boot.
  5. Some of Chipper's gifts he received Cowboy hat from the Stros http://static.foxsports.com/content/fscom/img/2012/06/14/2_2012061420363275_600_400.JPG http://static.foxsports.com/content/fscom/img/2012/05/09/144066708_20120509150256359_600_400.JPG Autographed Stan the Man jersey...[expletive] I want that! http://static.foxsports.com/content/fscom/img/2012/05/15/furcal_2012051515144196_600_400.JPG http://static.foxsports.com/content/fscom/img/2012/06/14/730_2012061420342871_600_400.JPG http://static.foxsports.com/content/fscom/img/2012/06/23/062312-MLB-chipper-EN-G_20120623234537310_600_400.JPG http://static.foxsports.com/content/fscom/img/2012/06/23/062312-MLB-chipper-jones-EN-G_20120623235512322_600_400.JPG http://static.foxsports.com/content/fscom/img/2012/08/23/082312-MLB-AM-G2_20120823172439923_600_400.JPG http://static.foxsports.com/content/fscom/img/2012/09/01/090112-MLB-Chipper-Jones-LA-PI_20120901154635115_600_400.JPG http://static.foxsports.com/content/fscom/img/2012/09/21/092012-MLB-G1-AA_20120921005349327_600_400.JPG http://static.foxsports.com/content/fscom/img/2012/09/28/092812-MLB-gallery-2_20120928172245522_600_400.JPG
  6. lol, Arkansas v. Auburn http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a78/nursetpd/Auburn/Arky_vs_Auburn.gif
  7. McCarthy comes through again:
  8. My heart can't take another Cards playoff run
  9. Ooops, I guess I should have actually read the question before voting for Miggy. I figured the question was who WILL win the AL MVP, not who SHOULD. I think Cabrera will win it but Trout certainly should.
  10. A Bob Costas "Fair Ball" wetdream.
  11. http://i1141.photobucket.com/albums/n588/Jkm4au/Ammo/TheSpot.gif video of this oddity
  12. I think this goes without saying. And holy smokes, the Giants kick returner has to be one of the fastest guys in the league.
  13. Well, the Saints didn't deserve that win anyways.
  14. Holy smokes. Horrible horrible call.
  15. [expletive] Bama. SEC is ridiculous how they protect their prizes like Bama and LSU.
  16. Marine didn't like this WR telling the crowd to shush. http://www.lostlettermen.com/wp-content/uploads/screaming-marine.gif

  18. Wow what a massive cheap shot
  19. I think the reality of the loss of Sean Payton is finally hitting Saints fans. Like others I thought that the loss wouldn't be so profound given that Drew Brees is the epitome of a field general, but damnit if it isn't obvious now just how influential Payton was. I've been to both home games now and the fans are rabid as ever, but there is definitely a very queer feeling about it all. There is definitely a sense that something is missing. We caught a glimpse of this last year when Payton was injured and had to sit up in the booth. The team was absolutely not clicking on all cylinders during those games. Other than the opening loss against the Packers, their only regular season losses came in the three or four week stretch where he wasn't on the sidelines. Also, the Saints D, which has always been mediocre at best is now downright terrible. They just don't have the personnel to run a Spagz defensive scheme. Will Smith is on his last leg and losing Vilma is a devastating blow. There isn't a single pro-bowl caliber player anywhere near the defensive roster this season. Carl Nicks was also a HUGE loss on the OL as witnessed by Brees being hit and running for his life more than I've ever seen. Karma I guess
  20. Yeah that thing is pretty much like the Grand Canyon in that you can't accurately describe it to someone. It has to be seen.
  21. I think Holliday should have won that year for MVP and Tulo DEFINITELY should have received the GG over Rollins.
  22. Just noticed that Chipper wasn't an All-Star the year he won MVP. Wonder how many times that has happened. Edit: the Google says Hank Greenburg 1935 AL Don Newcombe 1956 NL Dave Parker 1978 NL Willie Stargell 1979 NL Kirk Gibson 1988 NL Robin Yount 1989 AL Terry Pendleton 1991 NL Juan Gonzalez 1996 AL Chipper Jones 1999 NL Jimmy Rollins 2007 NL
  23. no doubt If he had better health over the last few years he'd likely be at 3000/500
  24. "Oh ma gawd, King!"
