Intense, hard-working & intelligent white guy Chris Carter making serious bid for Mets' Opening Day roster

[metirish]

OMG

Manuel has given Carter a nickname: The Animal.

Val , do something here


joking aside , it's a good article to read .

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

It's "Save Your Ass Day" at Digital Domain Online Porno Park, where Fernando Tatis (.091) and Frank Catalonotto (.143) also have gotten their knocks in. Mets lead 5-2.

�When you look at him, you think, �Geez, this guy�s so intense, I can�t even talk to him,� � said Mets third-base coach Chip Hale. �But when you really break it down, he�s a guy who has a lot of passion for the game. That�s something people outside the game miss sometimes. They think players don�t care? Well, Chris Carter cares.�

He certainly seems to care. About what, I don't know.



(anyone interpret that Carter article as "teammates think he's a douchebag"?)

I think he has a bit of Shelley Duncan in him.....

Yeah, I was gonna write that before I saw your post. The article reminded me of a Bill James quote about Dave Hollins, I believe, where he mentioned that "intense" tended to be sportswriter code for "jerk."

Waitaminnit!
I thought "intense" was baseball talk for "White".
Or is that "gritty"?
I sometimes get them mixed up.

[MFS62]

Ahhhh.
So that's why they called Pete Rose "intense".
Thanks for clearing that up.
But I never realized that Joe DiMaggio was Japanese.
LOL!

That list is pretty close to accurate, though I imagine I've read Eddie Murray or Bob Gibson refferred to as "intense" on more than one occasion. By the time he reached the Mets, the euphemisms for Murray were less kind.

[G-Fafif]

"Professional" = Old

[Guest Edgy DC]

"Battlin'" = "Sadistic racist"

"Good Clubhouse Guy" = sucks at baseball

[Guest Edgy DC]

"Quiet" = "Doesn't Drink"

"Deeply Religious" = "Hates Baseball and Everything in It" or, alternately, "Terrified of Homos"

"Family Man" = "I Have a Crush on His Wife"

"Fun-Lovin'"/"Loves Life" = "Drunk Every Night"

[G-Fafif]

"He Does The Little Things" = Hits .203

[seawolf17]

"Scrappy" - white backup middle infielder

[Centerfield]

This reminds me of how to interpret descriptions of women by other women.

"fucking tramp" = Hot
"Ok looking, but a raging bitch" = Very Pretty
"My friend ____ is gorgeous" = Above average
"Cute" or "Pretty" = Below Average
"Very pretty face" = Fat
