thank you haha
Fielder tipped his cap to him, that was cool
thanks
Wow, watching the game live on ESPN, don't know if I was distracted or what, but I missed Fielder's tip of the cap.
Man, talk about class.
Tell you what, this week..... with the way Cameron reacted....
I'm thinking most baseball players are classy. Don't give a rats ass about the negative stories (and they do SUCK) it seems to me these guys are mostly class acts. Good for them. Especially since I dreamed of being one, and my failure probably would've left me............ well, let's say less than a class act.
OFG, if you say one more thing this week that I agree on, I am going to blow a load.Quote:

But yup, you are right.
This is biased, I know it is, but one reason I love Cardinal nation is just this, as a whole, the fans and the organization are pretty good people, and treat neighboring teams with respect. as a whole that is.
and when you look at what happened in LA this week. the way the other teams handled things. it makes you think about things in the past where unique people have handled unique situations with class, and we tend to forget them. The beauty in baseball is exactly what you see.
Watching the replay it seemed like that ball was up in the air forever. Reed timed it so perfect. In the replay when it shows Fielder tipping his helmet at the bottom it looks like Braun said "Wow" as he was probably watching the replay on the video screen at Miller.
haha hadn't noticed thatQuote:

It just gets me fired up about the baseball season, its cliche' but I love this game!
Go Fielder, good job for tipping your cap...that's awesome! all major league players should be doing that, just like if a guy strikes you out and you just didn't see that breaking ball coming there....and it was nasty...when walking back, tip your cap, and don't try to show them up.....and don't watch your freaking homers, please.
You're right on that, and it's the same reason that you only hear about bad news and never good news... it doesn't sell, and people aren't interested in it. ESPN gets more clicks to an article about a player getting a DUI, or in a fight with a teammate, or somebody demanding to be traded than they do about an article about the class acts in baseball, charity work, and so on. It's just the way we are... for better or worse.Quote:

Johnson's a good ballplayer - better than he gets credit for.
As for ballplayers: yeah, I'm willing to guess that most of them are good guys. Remember, I've worked in politics before, and I've found a lot of politicians who are genuinely interested in doing their jobs well and trying to help people and being good, classy folks - not all of them in my party, either. Lot of 'em are dicks, too, and yeah, you hear about those a great deal...
I miss having Reed Johnson on the Jays..
I miss having him on the Jays too. But, be honest where would you play him right now? It doesn't make much sense to tie up 5% of your payroll on a guy that's gonna collect splinters while sitting behind Wells, Rios, Lind, and Snider. Still I do miss his class and his guts.
Wasn't it Shannon Stewart who beat him out for the roster spot last year?
I miss Reed. :(
Stewart "beat him out" because Stewart was the way cheaper option. I don't think it was based on performance on the field. As a Twins fan (I think), you understand that sometimes money, or salary, overrules talent, even though your owner is rich enough to buy a few more teams. ;)Quote:
