  1. and that his big redneck ass tans
  2. that guy is probably an idiot but you don't need to be barry bonds to have that swing elicit a "yikes" from you.
  3. probably b/c his swing takes so long to load that the only time he gets extended are on pitches away from him that he's behind on
  4. 2010 looked like a normal stance and swing, 2012 was a goofy stance but the swing was still fluid.
  5. there's a difference between an ugly stance (heyward in the 2012 video) and an ugly swing (heyward now.) the vast vast vast vast majority of "guys with ugly swings" are not anywhere near successful.
  6. you know that hitting a baseball is a horsefeathering tough task when someone as athletic as heyward looks like that while swinging at balls that aren't even moving.
  7. Never been to Vegas, but we went through Reno as a kid and stayed at Circus Circus, and I remember loving the arcade there. Thus ends my Circus Circus story. When we go to Vegas we always would stay at this awful hotel/casino called the riviera - long story, but basically they let us stay for free as long as we wanted. Anyway, Im watching the new Bourne movie and he crashes a car right into the shitty casino there! I was like wtf. Then I googled it and it turns out they had to destroy the Riv so they let Bourne trash it for his movie. EDIT: I forgot the reason I told this story is because the Riv was right next to circus circus. First time I went to vegas, my friend (a portly dude) was like "we gotta go to circus circus once so you can eat the $1 footlong hot dogs!" he was so lit it was hilarious. We get there and they've replaced the hot dog stand with a subway. He was so mad I found him sitting down at a virtual dog-racing game yelling at the video game dogs.
  8. The fact that several posters here are vehemently disagreeing with me saying hiliary is as terrible as trump pretty much validates what I said. No, it doesn't! That's exactly where you're wrong... Do you not understand that things aren't one extreme or another? Jesus. Um, yeah, I will loudly say that Hillary was not as terrible as Trump
  9. yeah but spring training > offseason ok that's a good point
  10. god i hate how freaking long spring training is
  11. I never seen as many articles about a baseball guy who I'd never heard of dying, he must have been pretty legit.
  12. strange comp since eloy has been pretty allergic to walks, but i guess if they're super high on his hit tool there's not much else to compare him to when you put it that way...vlad? that's kind of what i had in my mind, but it's almost more preposterous than manny because vlad was just such a freak
  13. manny strange comp since eloy has been pretty allergic to walks, but i guess if they're super high on his hit tool there's not much else to compare him to
  14. what could the "crazy on the down-low" comp be for Eloy that Cubs officials gave Manuel? It's not Stanton, because he mentioned him. Sammy?
  15. i guess jersey shore, even though i liked it?
  16. i dont think parker even has two working arms anymore.
  17. bagwell, bonds, and clemens. If you didnt love winning enough to use steroid you dont belong in the hall
  18. I was just thinking about this, but im the total opposite. Football sucks and basketball won't be interesting until the summer. Bring on baseball.
  19. i need stories
  20. That was never confirmed. In fact, some bloggers with decent access to Cubs FO have denied that ever happened. That said, I wouldn't want them to trade him either. Unless it's for a player like Sale. Gleyber is probably more highly-regarded than Eloy and we actually traded him.
  21. thats horsefeathering hilarious
