Top 10 Wish List

DOUGHBOYS · Post by **DOUGHBOYS** » Thu Apr 16, 2009 12:26 pm

A wish list after watching the first week of baseball:

1. The Marlins pitching staff

2. A Rangers or Blue Jay hitter

3. Chris Duncan's bat, which coincidentally makes the same sound as his glove.

4. Jose Reyes' speed, he runs out a triple faster than I get up from the recliner

5. Chris Davis to hit well so his nickname "Crush" replaces his real name

6. Ian Kinsler to stay healthy all year, that baseball rat is fun to watch

7. Joe Torre to treat Kershaw like he's a 21 year old and settle for 90 pitches instead of going over 100 in his second start

8. The Braves, Orioles, and Rays to sack up and just sign Hanson, Weiters, and Price to 5-7 year contracts

9. Joey Votto's swing, why do lefthanders swings look so much more graceful than righthanders?

10. We need another Morgana.Baseball is all about routine and that routine needs shaken up every once in awhile.

A friend and I were talking last night about how baseball has lost its personality. That the only news that the general public hears now is mostly stuff that puts baseball in a bad light.

We really could use a Morganna. We could really use a Mark Fydrich. We could use a Fernando Valenzuela. Hell, I'll settle for someone being on fire like George Brett exploding from the dugout when his home run was taken away.

It seems all players have gone through the MLB brainwashing school and always show political correctness when talking about their team as well as others. Its too bad, Giants fans want to hear how much one of their players hates the Dodgers. Instead, every player will just say its a rivalry and leave it at that.

Baseball has the strongest union in sports. That, as much as anything, has led the way to all players personalities being dulled. They are part of that union team that they will never be traded from.Something that can't be said about their MLB team.

When Mark Fydrich is put into the ground, a part of baseball will have been buried as well. Reflections of a time when players showed fire, passion, and emotions. A time when not only a players skill could be seen, but his personality as well.

We're hoping for a 'break out' from her this year dough.

Has a better chance at getting a batter to swing and miss than "judy" Garland, THAT i know.

Not gonna happen. Just this past winter the NHL suspended a player, Sean Avery, because he made a comment on... " how it's become like a common thing in the NHL for guys to fall in love with my sloppy seconds".

"I completely support the league's decision to suspend Sean Avery," Stars owner Tom Hicks said in a statement. "Had the league not have suspended him, the Dallas Stars would have. This organization will not tolerate such behavior, especially from a member of our hockey team. We hold our team to a higher standard and will continue to do so."

Trying to compile a list of passionate or wacky players still on the payroll...

My "ALL "CHARACTERS" TEAM"...

C: AJ Pierzynski (A-hole extraordinaire who can get under anyone's skin!)

1B: Kevin Youkilis (He and AJ were born with the face you want to punch!)

2B: Dustin Pedroia (Ole' "Spunky" himself) runner ups are DOUGH's personal favorite Brandon "Point to God and thank him for that double down by 7 in the 9th" Phillips, and my favorite Rickie "Retarded" Weeks with his clueless, shooting blanks on the thought process face.

3B: Alex Rodriguez (I'm the new Barry Bonds...you love to hate me. I'll kiss myself in the mirror to make sure you don't forget to hate me.)

SS: Khalil Greene (Surfs Up, Dude) Not much here.

OF: Shane Victorino (The Flyin' Hawaiian has plenty of spunk and excitement.)

OF: Manny Ramirez (From the no stress attitude, to the dew, the lazy fielder, and the awesome hitter...he's a gem)

OF: Pick your favorite head case here...Elijah Dukes or Milton Bradley, or your Yankee conditioned Johnny Damon still has a mischievous twinkle in his eye, or Wanda

, or Surfer Byrnes.

SP: Randy Johnson and his bad attitude.

SP: Carlos Zambrano and his natural flair and passion.

SP: The more you know about Zack Greinke the more you realize he's a bit of a character.

CL: George Sherrill and Bobby Jenks LOOK the role of nutty with attitude...but neither are that nutty.

WOW...you are right, DOUGHBOYS DAN...I had to FORCE SS and 3rd SP and even CLOSER!!!

I thought for sure that there would be easy pickings from the closer and pitcher ranks...but nope.

Very low on "characters" in MLB these days...an eye opener! Good call!

Chicago this season is home to Kayne West, errrrrr, baseball stage name Milton Bradley ...

P.S., I hope the fans in St Louis don't ask Milton if he likes fishsticks.

I watched the game with a friend yesterday. He owns Bradley in his league. I called it, that it that if called out he would explode.

After the tirade, I told him to get prepared to bench Bradley for at least a week when the suspension is announced. He said that that was ok, the last time Bradley argued with an ump he lost him for the year!
