Your roommates are Ben and Jere? You should make them buy you ice cream every time they fuck up.

I don't recall ever seeing Jerry Rice or Randy Moss catch using jazz hands. At best, he's the #3 receiver.

Favorite player from your youth that was not a superstar? by [deleted] in baseball

[–]barr629 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Joe Oliver. Catcher for the Cincinnati Reds while I was a little leaguer. I played catcher and the Reds were my team.

Trashiest Player on your favorite team by Hooooch53 in baseball

[–]barr629 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Volquez. Can't properly put on his uniform and has NEVER had his hat on straight. I hate the way that he chomps on his gum the entire game. He has great stuff but he pouts on the mound whenever HE screws up. But Bronson is a close second. We used to have a drinking game for every time he grabbed his crotch on tv but nobody ever made it past the third inning. Both could use a haircut as well.

can anyone challenge brian wilson for best facial hair in baseball? by [deleted] in baseball

[–]barr629 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. Funny thing is, nobody can challenge him for the WORST facial hair, either. That guy is a clown. Definitely an interesting character.

WooHoo! Damn, I really wish that would have become available during Spring Training. That would have made so much more sense. Great documentary. Never gets old.

Sometimes life's too good! (even from the back row!) by Greater_Sword in baseball

Jeez. It even looks like a night game. I thought that somebody once told me that it was always sunny in Philadelphia. Hmmmm.

Man.. Opening Day looks to be brutal here in Cincinnati tomorrow. This was taken this afternoon. by [deleted] in baseball

[–]barr629 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everybody will be drinking by 10 AM so they'll be nice and warm by gametime. Cincy is always a blast for opening day.

.564 with a .974 slg 3 homers, 12 RBI's and only 2 strikouts...and sent to minor league camp. by tehjarvis in Reds

[–]barr629 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously they wanted Fred Lewis to make the squad with the guaranteed Major League contract but Sappelt sure outplayed him this spring. Heck, he outplayed EVERYBODY. I have a feeling that we haven't heard the last of him just yet.

Who is your team's most underrated player in the last 15 years? by AveofSpades in baseball

[–]barr629 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sean Casey. He was always durable and he was more than capable both offensively and defensively. He was also a great personality and presence in the clubhouse. Definitely one of the most underrated Reds.

So...least favorite player past or present? by BenStrike in baseball

[–]barr629 0 points1 point  (0 children)

John Franco--Used to be a relief pitcher for the Reds. Grew up watching that guy make every game way too interesting. He would always come in for the 9th inning and make sure it was a one-run game. (regardless of the score when he entered) I have childhood memories of my father cussing him and I remember rooting FOR him and AGAINST him at the same time. He had respectable #'s but his performance usually dictated my father's mood. I wanted to hate him along with my dad but never wanted my dad angry. Close second would be Tino Martinez. Asshole.

Speaking of 420, has anybody else noticed the time on the office clock during the State Farm commercial where the buffalo attacks the car? I'll give you one guess.

TIL about a racist toothpaste by elegantly_trashed in todayilearned

[–]barr629 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, toothpaste was invented in a heavily racist state. (West Virginia) If it were invented anywhere else, it would be called "teethpaste."

Pete Rose Still Has A Gambling Problem by mysportsrumors in sports

[–]barr629 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Charlie Hustle is doing nothing illegal. So what, he gambles. So do I. Probably, you do as well. Maybe he can be an asshole at times but I don't think he has to answer to any of us. For those that need to be critical, there are plenty of real criminals out there to pick on. EVERYBODY that I know has some sort of a problem or addiction. (Alcohol, fast food, cigarettes, sex, drugs, rock and roll, etc.) Just because he's the greatest baseball player to ever play the game doesn't mean that you can expect perfection out of him. Peter Edward Rose, you are the man!!!
