Quite frankly the inmates have been running the asylum for quite some time so none of this should be surprising as now playing the game the right way is the exception. I'm also a football Giants fan and it was so refreshing to hear OBJ quoted today saying he wanted to be the highest paid player (not of course the best player but the highest paid) so I guess the old "there's no I in team" doesn't apply to him and his team mates must be thrilled with is dedication to being the best player he can be. Sorry for ranting here but players acting like total jerks is really getting old and I'm seriously looking forward to a David Wright siting.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08674150694486256724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-23715166377102080982017-07-27T15:57:28.621-04:002017-07-27T15:57:28.621-04:00phil mushnick is the biggest hack in New york.
...phil mushnick is the biggest hack in New york. <br /><br />Reading his columns is like listening to old men complain that their soup is too hot before they make a racist comment about how someone is stealing from them. <br /><br />He constantly sides with james dolan, which might be the most insulting thing you can do to a sports fan.

Is there some Pulitzer category for chop-blocking an engaged player?<br /><br />Now, I love Aaron Judge and wished he were a Met (sharing the outfield with Mikes Conforto & Trout would be very nice) and how he overcame his upper-middle-class suburban CA childhood and baseball scholarship to play the game as deemed appropriate IS inspiring. Too bad those immigrant refugees don't treat the game that got them here the same way, right?

Cespedes has said he now agrees and plans to not do Barwis-type training any longer. barwis should be fired as soon as possible - his baseball experiment has failed.<br /><br />He has the raw power and speed to still be really good - but to do that, you have to 1) play 150 + games a year and 2) be healthy to not feel inhibited from overdoing things for fear of getting reinjured. As such, hopefully his hustle will increase.<br /><br />I have a very strong feeling Cespedes will still be here, and healthier, next year. Maybe we'll see that Hall of Fame caliber season next year. I sure hope so. <br /><br />If he stays healthy, he could still end up with 25 homers, 75 RBIs, and .300 this year. We shall see how it goes.<br /><br />I'd rather see if he can drive the bus (and stir the drink) and not end up getting thrown under the bus by his own fault.Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.com
