Athletes as Role Models??? Thats Crazy

Usually pro athletes are the farthest thing from role models and should all be classified as douchebags. The only exception to the rule has to be Hockey players who 1) act like human beings 2) typically respect their opponents and sport more than any other athlete 3) aren't dumb apes who walk around scratching their nuts. So it was nice to read the following story from Affeldt. Go giants

Pro ETA for MadBum Timmy2

Personally Kawakami isnt my favorite giants writer but there is some good information on Mad Bum and Timmy2 compared to some of the other talents in the MLBs.

What is your prediction for these two guys coming up to the majors?

After Sanchez...whats next

cazzuno — Tue, 26 May 2009 17:47:56 -0000

Whether it happens in May or in July it seems like good ol' dirty sanchez will be traded for a bat playing 2b,1b, LF or hopefully someone that can play all three at the same time.

My question is who is coming up to replace Sanchez in the rotation? Will it be a top prospect in AA, a solid young pitcher in AAA, a former prospect, or a free agent?

Personnally i wouldnt mind a flyer on a Free Agent like Byrd, who wont blow anyone away with stuff but also wont derail Pucetas/Sosa but i realize that having Johnson/Byrd in the same rotation is living dangerous so i am going with Pucetas.

Rich Aurilia - Still alive, but done as a player

cazzuno — Fri, 15 May 2009 19:13:11 -0000

Remember 2001 with 206 hits and 37 jacks....well its 2009 and he's batting .152 and is 0 for 15 over past 7 games with 5 K.

It's about time Richie gets the pink slip. I don't mind RIchie anchoring Giants baseball games with Dave Roberts but if i see Rich Aurilia PH and strike out with runners in scoring position one more time i am killing the first Dodger hat wearing douche that i see.

Poll

If Richie gets another at bat should I...?

gouge out both eyes?
