Yeah, look at the list of Rookie of the Year winners. You’ll see a lot of names you don’t remember.

Paging Marty Cordova…

That might make me… propose marriage to him

1978. Bob Horner. A name I wish I could forget.

Until he shows up a pitcher by taking a homerun trot backwards, I’m not gonna hate.

That’s a clown comment, bro.

The 1994 AL Rookie of the Year.*

False. Neither of those guys was a top prospect, and neither had as much talent. Hamelin was a DH as a rookie. He sucked.

I was just naming guys who exploded on the scene and then flamed out fairly quickly.

And what about the kid from San Diego that was a shortstop and got Zack Greinke disease? He ended up on the Cardinals for a while but I can’t remember his name. Looked like Sunshine from Remember the Titans.

Khalil Greene.

Better analogies would be Bobby Crosby or Bob Hamelin.

What ever happened to that guy? Cliff Pennington is one of the worst Major League hitters I’ve seen in some time. The A’s need a shortstop. Bad.

Or they could become this guy.

Awww, come on man. That’s just unecessary.

Their starting pitching is nasty.

For sure. Have to think Gio regresses a little bit but he’s been on point. Strasburg’s inning total will creep up and you’ve got to wonder how it’s handled should they make the postseason. I like Zimmerman but he leaves a lot of fastballs up in the strikezone and in the later innings when his velocity tapers off, he starts giving up taters. Edwin Jackson keeps churning out quality starts even though he’s only got 3 wins on the season.

Average age of the staff is only 27. They’ve got the 5th lowest walk total in the NL, with a lot of them coming from a patchwork bullpen hurt by injury. 3rd in Ks and leading the league with a collective ERA+ of 136. They allow the least amount of baserunners and give up the fewest HR per 9 of any team in the NL.

Yes. Ask the Mormon kid if he is going to have a drink.

How do you stop a Mormon from drinking all your beer at a party?

Invite a second Mormon.

Tony C — he had a head for the game.

McQueary’s dad doing his best to let Sandusky walk.

That doesn’t seem like it is something easy to forget. Maybe he also forgot his son telling him he saw full penetration.

Harper appears to be a douche on a level with Will Clark.

This might actually work better because he looks a little like Clark. And they both look like Cowboy Mouth’s Fred LeBlanc, another douchetastic dude.
That said, douchiness doesn’t prevent me from appreciating skill. I wouldn’t want to have a beer with Barry Bonds, but I loved watching him hit.

Yes, yes they do. Watching them play the Red Sox over the weekend really illustrated that for me. Their starting pitching is nasty.
