I think Jimmy Rollins should totally be starting in the All-Star Game this year. No really.
I mean it.
The man just won a World Series ring! That’s all that matters on team sports. Who cares if right now he’s the worst short stop in the league when it comes to swinging a bat? Who cares if he’s dead last among shortstops in OBP (.261!), third from last in SLG (. 322), only has 77 total bases so far with only 12 walks and 27 strikeouts? Who cares that in spite of his awful, awful performance there isn’t another shortstop with as many plate appearances him? Who cares about any of this bullshit? Not me.
Who cares that the Marlins’ Hanley Ramirez leads him in every meaningful offensive statistical category including HRs, 2Bs, BBs, BA, OBP, SLG–even RBI and runs if you care about that? Who’s ever heard of Hanley Ramirez? Not us. His name sounds like a trendy micro brew. We drink Bud Light in America, am I right?
Let me ask you this: How many rings does Hanley have, huh? Huh? None? Well then what the shit are we complaining about? You can’t fault the voters for shooting from the hip and putting a gamer in the All-Star Game. And that’s what Jimmy Rollins is: a gamer. Did you see Jimmy in the playoffs last year? No, I’m not saying he was good. But you saw him there right? He was in the playoffs. Was Hanley? Check and mate.
/doesn’t give a shit.
I can’t figure out where all of these votes are coming from, seeing as how most Phillies fans can’t read.
Was this sarcasm? You can’t really believe this, can you Hef? Jimmy Rollins has been horrible this year. It shouldn’t matter that he’s won a World Series. Baseball is a team sport. Also, last year is last year. He’s done nothing in 2009. NOTHING!
ummm, no?
fuck. and. no.
You two must not be real Americans.
Bud Light tastes like cat piss. Thankfully, I like the taste of cat piss.
You better shut up before I go America all over your asses.
I always side with the fans. If they want to see Rollins, then he should be there.
Sort of like how Vince always got the starting nod in the ASG, even though he wasn’t the best SG most years.
I drink Newcastle
/Jimmy Rollins molests babies
But it is so hard to bottle, thank god for Bud Light.
you know how on commercials for diet dr. pepper they say it tastes more like regular dr. pepper? well bud light tastes nothing like budweiser.
bud light = fail.
You’re a man of the people…except when they talk about how great a player is and cite his BA and RS. Then you’re an elitist asshole.
And comparing Vince Carter in an All-Star game to Jimmy Rollins being in an All Star Game is a huge stretch. Yuuugggeeee stretch.
We drink Bud Light with Lime, cabron.
/Mexican-American’d
Vince Carter should have been in the all star game…the WNBA all star game.
/burn!
But that’s the worst kind of American!
Hef: the game is for the fans. Now if some writer tries to give him an MVP, I’ll wreck house.
sarcasm much?
Who: Red Sox fans?
/ultrasicktastic flying burnpwn from the top rope
jayson stark be warned…
Hef’s next post will be on how Derek Jeter really does deserve the Gold Glove.
I got fug’d up on Busche Light at a golf tournament Saturday. I was passed out by 8 but my play was outstanding. I think.
Failing to read for context? Must be a Yankees fan.
/that’s how you burn someone, tard
This made me chuckle out loud. One or two decent chuckles.
/more than I can say for anyone else around here. Let’s pick it up People.
//just kidding, you’re all funny in your own way. Not unlike that Jimmy Fallon/Zack Morris bit.
maybe if jeter used a gold glove he wouldn’t need an rx for valtrex.
/herpes burn!
You got that right!
/Derek Jeter’d
The game isn’t for the fans now that it decides home field advantage in the WS. This time it means something!
As an American League apologist, I just hope that Dan Uggla is picked up as a reserve.
*shudder* fizzy, yellow beer…
Jimmy Rollins is on the decline like a Japanese pitcher.
I dont drink beer often, but when I do I drink Dos Ekies.
/bear hands
Imagine an infield of Jimmy Rollins, Nick Johnson, Dan Uggla, and Andy Laroche. Yowza.
seriously?
No.
/wopwopwopwopwop
Negro Modelo is the best. At least it was ten years ago when I was still drinkin’.
Why did you stop?
I like to say that I was allergic to alcohol. I broke out in handcuffs whenever I drank. I was a colossal jackass.
