This is amazing. Ankiel was recalled yesterday after hitting 32 homers as an outfielder in AAA, and hit a 3 run homer in the 7th today. Good for him. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/recap?gameId=270809124
yeah, I was all over that one. Ankiel is one of my all-time favorite players. If I could've watched or listened last night, I would've. I've been spending the last two days updating his wikipedia page.
God damnit, why couldn't this feelgood story happen to a deserving team instead of that bunch of losers?
Just for the record, I have Josh Hamilton's jersey card from when he was drafted. ...incase anyone was interested.
Yup. And he got through them, was out of baseball for a couple years, rehab, addiction... And he's back in baseball, and playing well before his DL stint... Easily the bigger story. Props to Rick though.
I can't give that much credit to someone who is the cause of their own problems because they lack self control. Screw Hamilton.
And he has the self control to overcome that and get back to playing baseball, playing it good as well.
So I should applaud him for doing what 99% of society does by not losing their jobs because they can't say no to cocaine? Sorry, but that's like cheering a guy for not abusing his wife.
I cheer for the the guy overcame all of his struggles and troubles to become what he is today. He was a fuck-up, and hopefully is clear and can stay straight... Sorry, I'm happy for him, dude almost died.
And if he did he'd have no one to blame but himself. I don't feel the least bit sorry for anyone in that position because they put themselves there and they can take themselves out of it.
Okay, lol...Your argument is going nowhere, neither is mine...You think that way, I think this way...
And another 2 HR day for Ankiel, 5 RBIs and 3 runs in 3 plate appearances. When was the last time you ever saw a player have a streak this magnificent? I wrote off my Cards, same as everybody else, and now...well, I won't celebrate just yet. But it sure will be nice to read all of the bitching again this year from the sore losers club :lol: Edit: Okay, Ankiel just hit a double, 2 more RBIs, 7 RBIs today. Good God.
I was about to bump this myself. ankiel has given the cards an incredible boost. btw, back to back days featured the return of an MM to the rotation, and both days saw MM get bombed and removed early.
