BallsToTheWall: Favorite Baseball Players

BallsToTheWall 05.17.11	List isn't really comprehensive enough and should automatically have guys like cal ripken jr, but i was too young and never got to watch any of these guys. pity me fool.
BigHans 05.17.11	Chipper Jones is pretty much the epitmoe of a pro. Hall of Famer for sure. My fave of all time is obviously KIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRBY PUCKETT RIP
BigHans 05.17.11	Brian Roberts? Seriously?
BallsToTheWall 05.17.11	Brian Roberts is personal. Mostly HAVING TO WITH always drafting him my fantasy leagues. But he rules. doubles/STOLEN BASES MACHINE, great on base percentage, GOOD DEFENDER, ETC. Not the flashiest guy but he does things, and does them well.
BigHans 05.17.11	My top ten that played in my lifetime 1. Kirby 2. Kent Hrbeck 3. Dan Gladden 4. Johan Santana 5. Ryan Howard 6. Nolan ryan 7. Mike Schmidt 8. Griffey 9. Big Mac (roids and all) 10. Frank "sweet music" Viola
BigHans 05.17.11	I actually dislike Viola, but he pitched game 7 of the 87 world series so he gets a spot for that
BallsToTheWall 05.17.11	Big macs a pussy, a coward and a disgrace to baseball/his family although i did a school presentation when he hit his 62'nd home run.
acADHDemy 05.17.11	wow what a terrible list CHipper Jones?! fucking die now pleaz
BigHans 05.17.11	yeah I know just always liked Big Mac going back to when I got his 87 Topps rookie

JWT155 05.17.11	John Rocker.
JWT155 05.17.11	lol jk prob Derek Jeter
MalleusMaleficarum 05.17.11	Frank Thomas
BigHans 05.17.11	Rocker just said what everyone else was scared to. His problem is he was stupid enough to open his mouth during the height of the Political Correctness phase in America.
Satellite 05.17.11	mickey tettleton george brett nolan ryan curtis granderson justin verlander bobby higginson cecil fielder ozzie smith craig biggio kenny fucking powers farnsworth fucking sucked during both of his stints with the tigers so fuck that chain-wearing douche

BallsToTheWall 05.17.11	ALso love Gaby Sanchez, he's turning into one of the leagyes best first basemen, not to mention his clothesline to that bitch Morgan elevated him to baller status. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAs1glAu83g http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7WlELYuxT0
acADHDemy 05.17.11	oh fuck pedroia should be up there pedroia + youk + beckett should definitely be up there fucking pats fans don't deserve such a cool baseball team to root for

BigHans 05.17.11	Gary Carter
acADHDemy 05.17.11	ike davis >>> gaby tho #s 2-3 first basemen in the mlb after pujols, obviously
acADHDemy 05.17.11	Gary Carter
Satellite 05.17.11	a couple years ago i worked out with don mattingly's son preston. he was playing for the dodger's a-ball team (great lakes loons) in my hometown and was using the elliptical next to me. we talked baseball for a bit. cool dude. /pointless namedropping
BigHans 05.17.11	lol yeah Ike and Gaby are better than Howard/Teixera/Cabrera oh I dont know a fuckton more
MalleusMaleficarum 05.17.11	Pat Hentgen
acADHDemy 05.17.11	i woulda kicked his ass probably
BallsToTheWall 05.17.11	Love burnett and becket. Baseball fights ftmfw. Jason kendall vs jOHN lackey, chris yOUNG VS derek lee,,, ahh good times.
BigHans 05.17.11	I said Gary Carter before Acad did, guess Im a bigger Mets fan
savagecabbage 05.17.11	Randy Johnson
MalleusMaleficarum 05.17.11	holy shit i feel old looking back on Randy Johnson cuz like i completely forgot
BigHans 05.17.11	RICKEY HENDERSON
Satellite 05.17.11	porcello vs. youkalis. no fucking contest. rick dropped his balded ass.
BallsToTheWall 05.17.11	Mike Stanton's solo shot last night was a 465 dead center blast.
BigHans 05.17.11	John Olerud, dude had a sweet helmet
savagecabbage 05.17.11	Rickey Henderson = bionic athlete
whywontyoudie 05.17.11	dammit i miss playing baseball, finally gonna go watch a game after like 6 years this saturday. Ken Griffey is a legend.
BallsToTheWall 05.17.11	edgar martinez, Mike piazza, Paul Konerko,
BallsToTheWall 05.17.11	How beast has Adrian Gonzalez been? Remember when he was a marlin? No I don't either. fucking trading your number 1 pick.....i don't even remember who they got for him.
patman1001 05.17.11	when pedro martinez threw down don zimmer i laughed so hard
BallsToTheWall 05.17.11	Me too.
savagecabbage 05.17.11	what about that crazy sonofabitch John Rocker
Pizza 05.17.11	"porcello vs. youkalis" fuck yeah. granderson and sizemore are my favorites still playing. Griffey jr is my number one though
Eko 05.17.11	Farnsworth's doing well for my fantasy team. although I think Kimbrel has picked up a few more saves for me than him.
londoncalling457 05.17.11	most of mine are phillies, but moises alou (and mike stanton) is admittedly the man
PatchesOHoulihan 05.17.11	No one remembers when Chipper wailed on his girlfriend
BallsToTheWall 05.17.11	Now I do vaguely but you cant fault a man. Women are soul murders, remember?
PatchesOHoulihan 05.17.11	He slapped her several times in front of friends and family.
Apollo 05.17.11	you silly Americans and your baseball lolbaseball
pmmets07 05.17.11	@AcADHDemy clearly an early 2000s mets fan
PayneTiger777 05.17.11	Grady Sizemore
MalleusMaleficarum 05.17.11	Kosuke Fukudome
Josh D. 05.17.11	Never heard anyone say Moises is there favorite for any reason. 5 is funny and true. Fuck yeah Biggio. Oswalt has been my favorite pitcher since he got in the majors, but I can't watch him anymore. People that think baseball is boring are lame. RIP Harmon Killebrew today.
acADHDemy 05.17.11	lol moises alou the only thing worth discussing re: moises alou is that he regularly urinated on his own hands as some sort of pre-game ritual
acADHDemy 05.17.11	http://www.slate.com/id/2100652/
omnipanzer 05.17.11	Don't know anyone modern: 1) Ty Cobb (such a prick he has to be my number one) 2) Babe Ruth (So good he has to be my number 2) 3) Hank Aaron ( I choose him second for the social strives he made alone and he was a better player than Jackie Robinson) 4) Joe DiMaggio (One of the greatest players of all time and known by all of his contemporaries as a wonderful human being, during his time he was the face of baseball) 5) Pete Rose (he's not really 6 but he was great and an Ohio boy)
acADHDemy 05.18.11	insane how nobody has mentioned pujols he's basically the only hitter in the game right now who is a privilege for any baseball fan to watch like we, as fans, are luckier to be alive to watch Pujols play today than probably any other fans' in the history of baseball. Or maybe sports in general. if 1/5 of any baseball team was comprised of pujols, he'd be baseball's Jordan...
psykonaut 05.18.11	roy halladay is probably my favorite in the game right now. and roger clemens when i was a little kid. sucks about the steroids and all that though
Josh D. 05.18.11	He's on deck after Bonds' shit is done.
psykonaut 05.18.11	haha yeah. you don't fuck with congress subcommittees.
FearThyEvil 05.18.11	I do like Dustin Pedroia a lot.
bungy 05.18.11	edgar martinez vinny castilla GRIFFEY jay buhner larry walker Andres Galarraga Ellis Burks Kirby Puckett Tim Salmons pedro martinez off the top of my head no order mid-late 90's Rockies ftfw
bungy 05.18.11	wade boggs walt weiss
acADHDemy 05.18.11	wheres preston? pre-willie style
Satellite 05.18.11	jim abbott
Josh D. 05.18.11	Rick Vaughn
omnipanzer 05.18.11	^ this
bungy 05.18.11	oh fucking mo and greg vaughn
Yazz_Flute 05.18.11	Wilie Mays Hayes
Yazz_Flute 05.18.11	also JONNY GOMES
PayneTiger777 05.18.11	Rick Vaughn [2] Pedro Cerrano as well.
Satellite 05.18.11	jose lima (RIP)
cirq 05.18.11	i dont like baseball but my favorite player would have to be ken griffey jr. active: alfonzo soriano, jason heyward and timmy lincecum
bungy 05.18.11	IT'S LIMA TIME
Satellite 05.18.11	lincecum's cool 'cause he smokes weed n shit
Josh D. 05.18.11	You guys like a lot of random role-player types.
Yazz_Flute 05.18.11	I could be boring and say players like Joey Votto and Robinson Cano.
Josh D. 05.18.11	Joey Votto makes sense; he's young, and might not even be in his prime. And look how good he is. And he's not a prick or anything.
PatchesOHoulihan 05.18.11	Favorite players all time would have to be Nolan Ryan, Randy Johnson, Lenny Dykstra, Jeff Conine, Andre Dawson, and Dave Winfield. Right now it's Gabys Sanchez, Josh Hamilton, Hunter Pence, and Adrian Gonzalez
acADHDemy 05.18.11	joey votto is the man remember how he was so dialed-in last year, he refused to shake marlon byrd's hand after that i knew he'd win mvp
Josh D. 05.18.11	I like the Astros being thrown out itt. Now if only they were worth a shit (I mean, other than the 680 million the org got sold for).
Yazz_Flute 05.18.11	The Reds are badass in general. Been exciting watching them play so well of late, they've always been my favorite NL team.
PatchesOHoulihan 05.18.11	The only good player on the Astros is Hunter Pence. Bourne is a speedy guy but hes not that great
Emim 05.18.11	Benny THE JET Rodriguez
bungy 05.18.11	omg emim
Yazz_Flute 05.18.11	The Stros have a few quality pitchers.
Josh D. 05.18.11	There are no Astros from the 05 WS team left. After Berkman and Oswalt were dealt last year, that was it. Such a sad state of affairs now. Hopefully the new owner can shake things up (or at least get the farm system in order). But Biggio, Bagwell (or just the Killer B's in general), Ryan, Joe Morgan, etc. Some good players in franchise history.
Yazz_Flute 05.18.11	Pablo Sanchez
Josh D. 05.18.11	"The Stros have a few quality pitchers." That's a stretch. Wandy is only good at home (and sometimes still inconsistent), Myers is average at best basically. And that's really it. They have no closer, and without run support, all of their numbers won't be as good as they could be.
PatchesOHoulihan 05.18.11	FOR-EV-ER! FOR-EV-ER!
Josh D. 05.18.11	And how could I forget Randy Johnson coming over in the 90's to finish the season with incredible numbers. That was one of their best teams ever.
Yazz_Flute 05.18.11	Ouch, didn't realize how bad Myers has been this year. I remember him pitching well in 2010. Bud Norris has the strikeout working for him so far.
PatchesOHoulihan 05.18.11	@Josh D.- Bud Norris is going to be a stud.
Josh D. 05.18.11	Everyone says he has good stuff, but he just hasn't produced.
PatchesOHoulihan 05.18.11	@Josh D.- It's only his 2nd year in the league. I havent been able to pay attention this season so I really dont know whats going on. I was impressed with what I saw of him last year.
Josh D. 05.18.11	I've been able to pay attention, just haven't that much. He was supposed to be like Jason Castro a bit; young but productive. Castro was about to have his first full year behind the plate, but tore an ACL or something in pre-season, so he's done all year. This year, he is 2-2, 3.42 ERA, 19 ER and 7 HR in 8 games. So he still has work to do.
acADHDemy 05.18.11	Wallace will be good if he hits the weight room
BigHans 05.18.11	Roy Hobbs
Emim 05.18.11	that kid from rookie of the year would mop the floor with this list
