What do you want from me? Why is it just a problem that I don't like the hats and wish they wouldn't wear them (they're not anyway) for my own reasons?

We're just responding. Keep politics and gods out of my baseball game. neither of those things relates to patriotism.

Are there any current players who evoke memories of past players when you see their names? Who are they? Later Mike Stanton of the Marlins.

Edgy DC wrote: Really, the question isn't whether Thome has earned a Hall of Fame enshrinement. It isn't even whether Craig Carton is a tool. The question, I think, is what kind of tool Craig Carton is. I believe it's whichever tool makes him look best in the toolbox. I'd be a tool that looks like it's useful for everything, but in reality doesn't really do much. I'm drawing a blank on a good tool comparison though.

Vic Sage wrote: Many things he didn't mention go on constantly: players wear their flags or their religious symbols on jewelry and tattoos. They come to bat with "Proud to be a American with Bad Taste" (or hymns, in the case of Julio Franco and the like) blasting from the speakers. They cross themselves when coming to the plate. They point to the sky in the midst of success in thanks for their God-given gifts. thanks, edgy. yeah, lets get that stuff out of here. No hymns, dammit! this is the church of baseball! and they should only be able to wear as much overtly religious or political jewelry as they can reasonably swallow. and the only lord they can look up to thank are the lords of baseball in their luxury suites. please, Ceetar, we of the AAB (Apolitical Atheists for Baseball) need you on this. There's certainly a difference between a personal choice to wear a cross or play a song. But just that you've connected flags to religious symbols is part of my problem. You don't have to be religious or pray during the 7th inning to be patriotic. And just because i don't like the hats doesn't mean I'm apolitical or atheist, even if I trend in that direction. They won't wear the hats. They're going to abide by the MLB rules and wear the stupid Stars and Stripes hats. The players aren't looking to make a statement by bucking that trend in this way. I'm sure they could compromise. Wear them through the Anthem and then switch to the 'correct' hat, or hold them during the 7th inning stretch and then toss them to fans. They're not going to, but if they did, I wouldn't have a problem with it. I'd just prefer they were wearing plain Mets hats and not mixing issues.

Some people call this a behind-the-back-stop. We call it "Gee force" ... atmlb.com/osu9RQ lame joke by the MLB twitter, but after I've been criticizing the Mets pitchers' fielding, nice play by Gee.

1-2-3- domination from Parnell 101 and now Duda supposedly gets robbed of a homer.

in game around the majors. I heard A-Rod got booed when he dropped a pop-up during rehab in Scranton. classy AAA yank fans.. Although I guess plenty of them are actually Pirates/Phillies fans.

This game's all about Wright so far. Diving stop to save a run, fakes a throw to first and tags out Maybin rounding third.

where are you people? 3-kaboom from Wright. Gee with a nice behind his back double play.

There's a xanga somewhere with entries from 2003 and talks about her brother playing in college. http://iluvbaseballpnts.xanga.com/ Today is the last day of Spring Break. That's so depressing. I hate school and softball and I dont want to go back ever. I take my license test in one week exactly. Tonite I have to go to my brothers stupid baseball game. I hate going but my parents are making me. The whole softball team went to Denny's for breakfast and I had Bacon, French Fries, and Orange Juice. It was scrumptous!! My brother sprained a ligament in his thumb and its in a splint, so he can't play for awhile. Good thing his games are rained out this weekend. Last night they lost to USC 3-2.
