It's not that my opinion differs from you. It's that your opinion is so blatantly wrong and yet you continue to say it.

 

But why am I wrong and you're right? A bit ignorant don't you think?

There hasn't been a Triple Crown winner since 1967. You suggested there will be two. That is wrong.

 

You also said Jacoby Ellsbury will hit 500 home runs.

Oh I know two won't win it. That was a dumb/bold.. dumb prediction. But I do consider Hamilton a contestant for it. And Ellsbury is still a rookie, you can't really say either way.

 

And no one's done it since '67, true, but look...

 

[table=comparison]Player|Date|BA|HR|RBI

Yastrzemski|May 1967|.301|8|22

Hamilton|May 2008|.322|8|29[/table]

 

Doesn't that count for anything?

No.

No.

 

And why not? Hamilton is hitting better than Yaz did in May of his Triple Crown season, and has more RBI. Why doesn't that count for anything? Not even a slight possibility, not to mention the fact Hamilton is staying consistant. I think it could count for some speculation of a chance.

Damn' date=' Remy's riffing is actually funny tonight! He really hates fags. lol.[/quote']

 

What's he saying? I'm blacked out from NESN since the game's on ESPN.

Whaaaaaat? No. He's not a power hitter. Only, what, 24 players have EVER hit 500 home runs, and they were all extremely good hitters who consistently hit for power for a very very long time. I'd be surprised if he hit 200 in his career.

Yeah I know, stupid call from all the hype made in the end of last year. Stupid indeed.

 

But dammit if he can't steal bases.

It's not even the hype. Nobody ever hyped him as a home run hitter. Its just flat out wrong.

And I'm admitting my mistake. It was indeed, a stupid call.

Question for the guy pitching the 7th. Who are you, and what did you do with the real MDC?
