    OH MOTHER HUBBARD.

    I slightly fear that his swing colliding with that fastball will tear open the fabric of time and space.

    BAEZ IS HERE TO DESTROY CHAPMAN.
  4. Sammy Sofa
    Al Contra getting it started.

    This fight they're showing is a perfect example; I highly doubt the narrative would be nearly as praising if Castro had been the instigator as opposed to Rizzo.
  6. Sammy Sofa
    That doesn't make it not racist. The narrative can be racist on some level locally because I believe if it had been Rizzo you wouldn't read about it tomorrow but JD would've still gotten on him. However, Castro has had too many instances where his mental lapses have cost his team and lost games. And guess what? That's not because he is brown, that's because he doesn't keep his head in the game at all times. Other players have issues with that too, but it doesn't seem to show up in situations that directly cost teams ballgames. He has earned the reputation and it's easy to keep it when it happens on a regular basis. I still think he's a stud and I love his game, but those little plays right there need to go away and that has nothing to do with skin color. How many games has it cost them again? And why don't Rizzo's defensive and baserunning lapses count as much? (And yes, I know you pointed out that he wouldn't get the same crap) It's sadly a narrative that will dog Castro for the rest of his career. Even if he never did something like staring at his hit tonight again he'd still get too much [expletive] thrown at him for minor mistakes every player makes. That's where the imbalance comes in.

    No, he's had a couple of genuinely bad mistakes that have been blown to be "recurring issues" when 9 times out of 10 it's him doing something every other player will do. He fucked up bad tonight (watching the hit, but also stupidly charging that Hamilton grounder), but he gets a ton of [expletive] for things that should be complete non-stories and are non-stories with players like Rizzo.
  8. Sammy Sofa
    Castro straight up stopped and stared after hitting a deep fly ball off the wall in CF and only ended up with a single because of it. It's not like he was admiring it or anything; he honestly looked like he was just trying to see if it was out or not like it was [expletive] BP or something.
  9. Sammy Sofa
    I hate anti-Castro meatball-ism with the best of him, but come on, Starlin. It's not like that was some kind of no-doubter.
  10. Sammy Sofa
    That was a [expletive] sexy AB.
  11. Sammy Sofa
    Baez is going to do something splendid here.
  12. Sammy Sofa
    No.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    I don't know what that is referencing.

    Recognize the GREATER GOOD before I have you slain for wearing a crusty jumper. my post wasn't an indictment on his future It still angered me.

    Way to read the thread. Or are you just going to lazily compare every not ideal pitching outing to Jackson?
  17. Sammy Sofa
    His swing is so purty.
  18. Sammy Sofa
    I turned on the TV literally about 10 seconds before he hit it out. I have only now regained the use of my faculties.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    It better have an actual picture of Manny pointing at each tip.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    The only entertaining thing about Matt Abbatacola is saying "Matt Abbatacola."
  21. Sammy Sofa
    He should just wear a big heart with my swooning face in it.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    He was pulled late last night after tweaking his back. It didn't look like anything serious. Thanks for the heads up.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    No Rizzo?!? I want a glimpse at the future, dammit.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    It's a very strange pic. http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130427074512/simpsons/pt/images/6/6f/Makeup_gun.gif
