Jordan4life_2007 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) Jacoby Ellsbury is nice. That, my friends, is a leadoff hitter. One day before I die will have somebody of similar quality. Oh yeah, we took Lance Broadway instead of this guy. But, of course, hindsight. It's ok to fail because of this.

He won't be moved for a week or so at the earliest. KW won't throw in the towel yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to have unlimited range to his left at thirdbase, it's funny as hell seeing him make a play on a groundball seemingly hit right at the SS. He's just fun to watch in all facits of the game.

smalls2598 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Hideki Matsui hit his 500th career homerun yesterday. Of course, the first 332 came in Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought he was more of a 30 homer guy or something. I would have guesses that his MLB homers were in the mid-to-upper 200's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigSqwert Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 (edited) The Angels are offering fans a way to become less interested in the actual game when in attendance: Baseball fans in Anaheim will like this news for sure. T-Mobile and the Los Angeles Angels have just announced a partnership that will allow fans to rent either a Samsung Galaxy Tab or T-Mobile G Slate during Los Angeles Angels games, The tablets, when rented will come pre-loaded with some goodies: - Free game-day program, optimized for viewing on the tablet — an instant $3 added value. - Free content from the Zinio magazine app, with the ability to read from a sampling of magazines during the game, including ESPN and many other popular magazines, drawing from Zinio’s library of more than 4,500 magazine titles. - Free T-Mobile TV (on the T-Mobile G-Slate only), providing content from popular TV shows. All regular free content, plus the “Select” package, regularly $4.99, is available as part of the game-day tablet rental. Pretty awesome! Hopefully, T-Mobile will be able to expand the program in the long run and bring it to many other venues. Just don't go rooting the tablets should you decide to go ahead and rent one during a game. link for additional details Edited July 22, 2011 by BigSqwert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, then he shouldn't be unanimous. You don't vote as a pack, you vote as an individual. You have no idea what the rest of the voters are doing. You are supposed to decide as individuals on the merit of each person on your ballot. This idiotic idea of worrying about others votes it just an exercise in notice me journalism. That way you get to write something about being the person who stopped Derick Jeter from being unanimous, thus whoring yourself onto Jeter's legacy.

ChiSox_Sonix Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I'll say it - I wouldn't vote for him on his first ballot. If Joe DiMaggio, Jimmy Foxx and Roberto Alomar aren't first ballot Hall of Famers then neither is Jeter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
