faba Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Some one on there that I do not think belongs on that list is Tug McGraw- I do not take it too seriously though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Some one on there that I do not think belongs on that list is Tug McGraw- I do not take it too seriously though Tug was a great man. Definitely doesn't belong on that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Gotta tell you, Shawn - I've revised my opinion of Damon. He and Arroyo were the only Sox that bothered to sign any autographs in Cooperstown on Monday, and the caveman went out of his way to greet people. I haven't read the article, but I nominate that punk-ass bitch Varitek to edge out Johnny Bench for the catcher's spot. *** Addendum: Now that I HAVE read it, I have to say the guy chose his catcher pretty well. Tim McCarver is a hall of fame a$$hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim McCarver is a hall of fame a$$hole. I'm not a major Damon fan, but credit where credit is due. He knows he is a fan favourite but he does not shy away from the hordes of kids wanting his John Hancock. And as for Arroyo: I've been a big fan of his for a long time. He has decent stuff and just looks like a genuine cool guy. But they weren't the only Red Sox signing autographs there. David Wells was and for $85 he'd sign for you.

Maxman Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Damon is a character. But he handles himself well and he plays the game the way it should be played. I have zero problem with him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackout Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 after reading his exageration of Ty Cobb, I get the feeling this guy doesnt know what the hell he's talking about (atleast with Ty Cobb) although he was dead right on Canseco, Schott, Bonds and Reggie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobb was not a nice guy. cobb was a prick, but the sharp-spike and heckler incidents are deeply exagerated cobb and the heckler had a long history going all the way back to Georgia, its not like he just randomly attacked a stranger for heckling. the funny thing is, the guy was so damn annoying that when cobb beat him up, everyone at hill top park was cheering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how was the guy wrong about Cobb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackout Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 But you agree he did jump into the stands and beat someone up. So how was the guy wrong about Cobb? he wasn't wrong that it happened, he was misleading with his statement "also once went into the stands and savagely beat a man who had insulted him" he makes it sound as if the guy just yelled out one thing, when in fact he had been riding him the entire game, and Cobb even went to the ushers and asked for him to be removed (and the ushers didnt give a sh*t). he stuck up for himself, I'd say thats more couragous than a$$hole-ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasonJet Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 If not for Barry Bonds I'm sure Manny Ramirez would easily be a starter in leftfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugg Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 Ramirez is a goofball, and by all accounts, not a malicous or bad guy. He also is very generous to the little people around baseball-clubhouse attendants, batboys. He is still a bad left fielder. But anyone that goes through the process to become a naturalized American can't be all bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
