caulfield12 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Feb 15, 2012 -> 12:08 AM) Sox fans need to seriously start worrying about a 48 year old Ichiro and Torii Hunter on wheels rolling around in the outfield soon. I know Manny got to take an iPod with him while on "defense"- would canes and respirators be permissible? I'm sorry for using Manny as an example again, but he was able to relieve himself inside the Green Monster while a pitcher was being relieved on the mound. Catheters just seem like they would be more convenient and would allow the outfielders to study whoever was in the on-deck circle like a hawk would study it's opposition (smaller-sized mammals). Bonus- opposing hitters would have to get used to being surrounded by four hawks. The fourth has an ideal vantage point perched directly behind home plate enabling him to assist the umpiring crew with any trouble they may have in making a correct decision. Bonus 2 - game worn jerseys are big business for memorabilia stores , but game used collection bags would be sought after and a new revenue stream is, more profit. You said "stream." tee-hee, Beavis.

caulfield12 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I was joking, Greg. I'm actually Catholic, too...doesn't mean I have to feel guilty about everything, however. And I was an altar boy, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 QUOTE (sunofgold @ Feb 14, 2012 -> 10:23 PM) I read in another article that Fukudome has a helicopter swing and will spin around 360 degree sometimes when he strikeouts. Well, I don't remember that but heck at least he will look interesting when he strike out. He absolutely does that. My cousin is a big Cubs fan and that was a pet peeve of his about Fukudome.

hogan873 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 So, the thread has gone from discussing Fukudome to talking about jerking off and feeling ashamed to being Catholic. It's like Pale Hose Talk, SLaM, and the 'Buster had an orgy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cousin is a big Cubs fan and that was a pet peeve of his about Fukudome. I was a big Juan Uribe fan. Fact: Juan Uribe nearly put Transocean and several of its smaller competitors out of business as a cheaper, more environmentally friendly method of reaching some of the deepest oil wells. With the delicate state of our economy and rising unemployment, it was decided that the thousands of jobs that would be made obsolete would only lead us closer to a modern day Great Depression. Antitrust laws were applied, and the idea was shelved for the time being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thought is good obp ,draws walks, and if he could be a good #2 hitter we could have DeAza, Iguchi and with Paulie hitting 3rd we'd have righty lefty and our rbi man paulie hitting third to drive them in. I can assume he will be as good in the number 2 spot as Iguchi was when he batted there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
