Hamilton for MVP

7/16/2008 6:54:18 PM

oh man this thread is fucking bad ass, especially page 4:

Ernie vs. TreeTwista, chapter one billion!

7/16/2008 7:00:37 PM

What pisses me off is some of the people in here arguing for Burrell were the same people that said Howard winning the 2006 NL MVP over Pujols was legit.

7/16/2008 11:24:34 PM

Lets take a moment to think back...back...back

7/17/2008 12:18:51 AM

Going to see Josh tomorrow night at the Sox Game. Row 1 in Right CF. My sister wants suggestions for a sign and I'm about the least clever person about this stuff. We both went to East Cary (my sister was on his "team") and I went to Athens with him.

Any suggestions?

7/21/2008 7:11:45 PM

^ what about something comparing him to Bonds (like: "no asterisk needed"?)

7/21/2008 7:20:24 PM

^^maybe something with athens drive on it?

he'll probably wave or something

wow, of course a mets fan would come in here and talk trash about an announcer that he never has to listen to..

make some cheesy sign like

NC STATE

7/21/2008 7:57:36 PM

PEOPLE FROM RALEIGH
LOVE JOSH
HAMILTON
NC STATE
FOR THE MOST PART
IS PRETTY INDIFFERENT ON THE MATTER

7/21/2008 8:27:41 PM

in my world all people from state love josh hamilton

7/21/2008 8:28:51 PM

SHAW UNIVERSITY
LOVES JOSH
HAMILTON

7/21/2008 8:30:21 PM

^^people from state claim any successful athlete with ties to the region as thier own to compensate for the relative lack of successful athletes they produce on their own

7/21/2008 8:40:21 PM

Hey, he committed to State even if he had no intention of ever coming. It makes him almost one of us >_>.

Hey, he asked my sister out in 6th grade. It's personal between those two.

(She said no.)

7/21/2008 10:05:10 PM

he hit a 3 run homer in the 3rd tonight

7/21/2008 10:40:33 PM

I am aware of this.

7/21/2008 10:56:53 PM

Vasquez had a decent game at least, I guess he just needed some extra rest

I'm a baseball fan, so I do listen to him sometimes... but I don't really hate him... and my "joke" was really lame.

7/22/2008 1:31:18 PM

Josh will get his ring in enough time, and however he wants to spend it is up to him.

We'll be in row 3, I will have a green sox shirt on and my sister will have a lame sign, sparring some creative explosion in the next five hours. LOOK FOR US!

(Btw someone want to photoshop hamilton onto the body of roy hobbs for me???)

[Edited on July 22, 2008 at 2:32 PM. Reason : .]

7/22/2008 2:28:31 PM

I suppose there's nothing wrong with a guy and a girl in full white sox gear supporting an opposing player, with the girl holding up a sign saying "I <3 JOSH!", right?

7/22/2008 11:23:42 PM

2-run homer tonight now has 100 RBIs....but they are only because the Rangers are good.

7/26/2008 12:17:54 AM

^^ So your sister didn't like him back before he was famous, but now she loves him and makes signs trying to get his attention?

Sounds like she's a jock-chasing, money-grubbing ho.





j/k I didn't like him that much in middle school either.

7/26/2008 1:33:15 AM

yall probably just hated on him in middle school because he was stealing all your pussy batting cage opportunities

7/26/2008 1:35:15 AM

3 run shot today. He is on fire and the ball is flying off of his bat. I hope it continues.

7/26/2008 9:51:21 PM

already said?

who knows. but a flash in the pan on a team that garners no recogniztion. Get fucking real. bum. even willie mcgee won a batting title one year

7/27/2008 12:07:32 AM

#1 overall draft pick with comparisons to Mickey Mantle probably won't just be a flash in the pan, even if he was out three years abusing cocaine.

7/27/2008 12:15:04 AM

only 500 home runs to go. all in an overused, aged out body. yeah, mickey mantle. i'm sure he'll deliver.

texas rangers. bwa haha. maybe one day he'll play in the major leagues.

oh n00bs

Bitch, get real

Hamilton is having a good year. Mantle had a career that was better than all but a handful of players. And he did it from both sides of the plate. On one knee. And he never pussied out because of a little substance abuse problem.

7/27/2008 12:32:03 AM

n00b(not 2000 or earlier), get real

not feeding me is the worst.

mickey mantle had a substance abuse problem his whole life. he was a straight away hitter and played on the 2 worst knees. but, instead of coming public like a bitch (see raleigh athlete), he had a hall of fame career and won multiple titles.

when hamilton makes a catch that saves a perfect game (in world series), we can compare. Or perhaps when he hits 500 home runs. Maybe when he wins a triple crown.

Josh Hamilton. Flash in the pan.

G'bye in 2010

7/27/2008 12:36:58 AM

^^i think he meant comparisons out of high school

7/27/2008 12:39:48 AM

This is almost MacGyver bad trolling....

Quote :

"texas rangers. bwa haha. maybe one day he'll play in the major leagues."

Uhh the homer he hit today was against arguably the best pitcher in the bigs this season, Justin Duchscherer who leds the majors with a 1.87 ERA. Well that was before today....

7/27/2008 2:11:45 AM

^^ is right, I meant out of high school.

also, http://rangersblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2008/07/josh-hamilton-is-players-pick-for-mvp.html the players seem to think he's pretty good too.

If he wins the MVP, he should break it up into three parts and give two parts to Kinsler and Young. They're ALWAYS on base when he steps up to the plate.

thats random, retarded, and has very little to do with someones talent

there were 20+ other catches that saved a perfect game (in that same world series game)

7/27/2008 11:15:48 AM

^^hahaha

7/27/2008 1:50:04 PM

You can't win the MVP if your team finishes 20 games out of first.

I don't know what that means, but Kinsler leads the league in runs and Young is 8th. So, yeah, they are always on base.

good thing someone can win it 4 straight years jacked up out of their mind off steroids

7/27/2008 1:58:49 PM

And...?

7/27/2008 1:59:56 PM

its good that you cant win it if you have a great season but your pitching sucks and you play in the Angels' division, but AND luckily you can shoot your ass up with roids like a bitch and win it 4 straight years

7/27/2008 2:01:49 PM

Ryan Howard's team didn't win his division or make the playoffs and that strikeout king won.

And the Rangers have actually been winning more, no way they finish 20 games out.

Some of you are just haters.

7/27/2008 2:03:53 PM

It's hard to understand your point because you write like a third-grader, so I guess. The award goes to the most valuable player. Bonds was the by far the best player in the league (maybe ever at that point) and the Giants won 90+ games in each of his MVP seasons.

If you're having an awesome year on a shitty team, you aren't very valuable.

7/27/2008 2:04:37 PM

steroids sure are valuable

i guess Ernie thinks Hamilton should be VALUABLE enough to make up for the Rangers' horrific pitching...brilliant logic

7/27/2008 2:06:09 PM

I'm not a Bonds apologist and I'm not getting into why he did what he did. I'm just saying that no one was hitting like he was during that span. Questioning his MVPs is stupid.

I never said I didn't think Hamilton was worthy. I said he wouldn't win. You have to understand how these things are awarded. Get your shit straight, TreeTwista.

[Edited on July 27, 2008 at 2:09 PM. Reason : ]

7/27/2008 2:07:40 PM

so let me get this straight...even if you're jacked up on roids, as long as you help your team have a winning record you can get the MVP (and its stupid to even question it)...but if you're having a great season without roids, if your pitching sucks, you arent even in the MVP discussion (even after becoming the first AL player ever go get player of the month in April and May)

why dont you tell us the runaway AL favorite to win the award since you're 100% confident that Hamilton won't win it

[Edited on July 27, 2008 at 2:11 PM. Reason : who will win the MVP oh all knowing ernie]

[Edited on July 27, 2008 at 2:12 PM. Reason : who will win?]

7/27/2008 2:09:36 PM

Bonds wasn't even seriously scrutinized over roids until at least 2003.

I'm not using a crystal ball, and I'm not 100% confident he won't win it. You just have to keep this shit in perspective. 99% of the time the MVP goes to the best player on the best (or one of the best teams). Josh Hamilton is a good player on a shitty team. I'm not hating on the guy, I'm just calling it like I see it.

[Edited on July 27, 2008 at 2:13 PM. Reason : ]

7/27/2008 2:11:58 PM

And...?

Well who are a couple candidates? Aside from A-Rod I can't think of anyone else...nobody on Boston is deserving...according to your own logic, Kinsler doesn't have a chance since his team is so bad...all the other standout players so far this year are in the NL...you seem to be adamant that he won't win...who exactly is gonna beat him out? Don't back down from your position now Ernie
