He's so bad.

He's been doing it for a pretty long time, but every single game he misses a hard out to break and is still talking when they cut to commercial. Every game.
This got retweeted into my feed last night, too. When I'm deciding who I think would be a good play given the matchup, then see the actual lineup the manager decided on, Reds lead the league in making me say 'WTF?"

big deal, that's barely a step above beating the Orioles at this point. Red Sox lost to the Orioles last night
Orioles haven't won a game all year, have they?
Well now I guess they have.

Pujols passed Griffey Jr on the all time HR list last night. He moves to 6th all time with 631.

Willie Mays is at 5th with 660.

Pujols has a lifetime average of .303 and is approaching 2000 RBI. He's never hit over 50 HRs in a single season.

Nobody has grounded into more double plays than Pujols. He sits comfortably at the top with 372. Cal Ripken is 2nd with 350. Closest active player is Miguel Cabrera with 300.

Suarez has blasted a HR in 5 straight games.
He's 2 off the lead with 24, and has the most RBI in the NL at 79.
.305 / .389 / .450

He's locked up through 2025.

The Reds are building something my friends. And it's going to be fun.

mysticmac @mysticmac my screen is cracked again but received this update

Can you tell me who’s in first and how many games the first place team has over the second place team?

LOL @ the Orioles. What a garbage team.
After they moved to Camden yards, it was always a “kids night out crowd” for season ticket holders and a pre-fells point night out for me and the guys and gals I hung out with....

People can say what they want about the Red Sox and Yankees fans but angry, devoted, possessive fans are much more fun to be around and players feed off of it

Ha ha, it’s been a while but we used to hit that place every weekend for years

We used to go to, fuck I can’t remember the name anymore but there were chicks serving shots in bikinis outside of little Italy (by have a nice day cafe) and 25 cent bud bottles from 5-8 pm amd off to fells point afterward

He missed a good chunk of April.
He's played 87/104 games. So he missed 17 games.

24 bombs in 87 games isn't too bad. That's a 45 HR clip for a 162 game season.

1 HR per every 13.7 ABs

Been playing him every day. There's a certain breed of dumbass in DFS players that don't believe in hot streaks. I think this guy's blocked me from head 2 heads against him b/c I've been scouring the sites for his action the past few days. Here he is on Matt Carpenter, who at the time had his own HR streak going & was facing Homer Bailey making his first start back. Apparently taking a guy on a hot streak w/ .310 iso & .410 woba against a HR prone pitcher in a bandbox of a stadium was a bad play, & you can get more of this type of advice for hundreds of dollars if you follow the link in his twitter bio!

Something like that. A good amount of them were intentional.

Roids or no roids - dude could flat out hit.
Bonds really fucked up, he let jealousy get in the way of his natural talent. Without the controversy he probably would have made a arguement as one of the 10 best ever, now he isnt even going to get into the HOF, which I think is BS honestly.

He was already headed to the hall of fame before he magically packed on 40lbs in an offseason and started knocking the covers off the balls.

Such a talented guy with great speed for a power guy.

He did have some injury issues early on so i wonder if that's what initially got the juice flowing and he became addicted to the results?

When people in the know talk about Bonds, it seems he was extremely jealous of being the best player, or second best to Griffey Jr at the time, and being overshadowed by McGwire and Sosa. Bonds has always had the stigma of being a very ugly human being.

Either way he did not need any help being a great player and let his ego ruin his legacy.
