Why JD doesn't hate the MLB All Star game...this year.

Chipper Jones is the starting 3rd Baseman, despite slumping for the last few games. The cat could use a couple of days to rest his aching body, I'm sure but he's still going to play in the All Star Game, and guess what someone had to get hurt for David Wright to join the team!

Haha, fuck you David Wright, I hate your guts.

Chipper Jones All-Star Game Bound...

Chipper Jones is leading in the All-Star Balloting for 3rd Base at the Monster 2008 All-Star Game which will be held at Yankee Stadium on July 15th. His competition? David Wright.


1. Jones, C. Braves 708,515
2. Wright, D. Mets 461,330

He's beating Wright by over 247,000 votes, I think he's good

Chipper Jones' comments are....awesome.

This was on CBSSportsline.com, firstly, he's batting over .400 and he's pissed because every year he's overlooked by fans, and whoever else votes, despite having a fantastic career and all that. He said this:

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Chipper Jones leads David Wright in All-Star voting at the third base position in the NL through Wednesday. He hasn't made the All-Star team since 2001. "Honestly it's a shame that I've got to go out and hit .400 for two months to make an All-Star team," Jones said. "It's kind of depressing to me because I've had -- to me -- what I think are some pretty good first halves, what I think is a pretty good career, and I haven't made an All-Star team since '01. ... But I'll take it. Got to make a splash to get people's attention? Got to make a splash."

Love him or hate him, it's the truth. He's been overlooked more times than John McCain's health records. I hate David Wright, he's having a not-so-good year, and if he makes it to the All Star Team in front of Chipper Jones, I will boycott baseball. Not only that, but if David Wright makes it in front of Ryan Braun, I will fucking be astonished. Braun is having a fantastic year. It's just funny to me that there's always these fan favorites that have to be right up there, like David Wright. He's never that good, he has some good stats (sometimes) and he gets the fans behind him and New York Metropolitans fans are fucking retarded. Ryan Braun deserves to be in the All Star game, what I think should happen, and what I think are going to happen are two totally different things.

Fuck you David Wright, I hate your guts.

Wagner shits on Metropolitan Teamies.

Billy Wagner might be the only member for the New York Metropolitans that is firing on all cylinders. I mean Ryan Church has been too, but how long will that last. This isn't the first time that Billy Wagner has opened his mouth. A few weeks ago, he did the same thing and openly criticized Starting Pitcher Oliver Perez (THANK YOU!) about a shitty game he pitched. He only lasted 1 1/3 innings in the 13-1 shalacking at the hands of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Maybe Wagner is overly critical or maybe he's right.

I loathe the Mets, I honestly do, but I mean stand up for your team. Wagner says only a select few guys stand around to talk to reporters after a loss (him, David Wright, etc) and that it's getting old fast. You have to stand there after a loss as much as a win. This is your team, have some respect for yourself and answer to the problems your team is having. Don't just shower and bounce. I actually have to say that I respect Wagner for this. It's actually show that New York has done him some good, and that he doesn't give a fuck what people think. He wants people to be held accountable for their shitty playing and what-not.

This is very much like the Andruw Jones story, Andruw Jones came into Spring Training out of shape, and sluggish, and couldn't hit a bull in the ass with a snow shovel, but he didn't talk to reporters, he blamed it on allergies. Just fucking come out and say "I can't hit right now, I'm working through it, hopefully I can get back on track." Is that so fucking hard to do? I mean, come on, if every player did this there wouldn't be that many journalists sitting around having shit like Wagner's rant to talk about. Players need to take responsibility for their playing, whether it's good or it's bad, you need to put up or shut up.

Football is the anti-baseball. Football players have a fucking CONFERENCE after the game. Losers and winners talking about their individual performances. Baseball players get interviewed in the lockerroom. I mean, it's not the greatest place to conduct an interview when a player is standing around in his underoos, but whatever. I mean, if I was a baseball player, and I had a shitty game, I would want to talk about it. And I would joke about it too, albeit, seriously. If you're hitting/fielding/pitching is shitty, speak up, because if you do, your fans will get behind you. If you don't, you just get booed to high Heaven.

Something I posted on Yahoo! sports:

"David Wright IS clearly overrated. His gold glove win is laughable. And so you can look at his stats and say that he is a .308 hitter. He's only played 4 years. FOUR YEARS. Chipper Jones has been playing since 95' and has a lifetime .309 average. Get back to me when David Wright can do that. As far as this 20/20 stat is concerned, who gives a crap? Lets look at the stats, shall we? Chipper Jones has NEVER...EVER...struck out 100 times in a season. Ever. Check it out. David Wright in his first 3 years (of full service) has struck out 113, 113, and 115 times. This year, he's already got 24 K's matched up to Chipper Jones' 10.

I'm not saying that David Wright is a bad player, but he's not the holy grail of baseball like all Mets fans make him out to be. He's a decent fielding 3rd Baseman. I can already see his average plummeting over the next couple of years, while Reyes' speed waivers and he doesn't steal 70 bases a year. I understand that slumps happen, but people need to realize this and not be just blind cows going into the slaughter. I am a die-hard Braves fan. That doesn't make me an idiot (as Mets fans would say) it just makes me loyal to the team that I grew up watching. Chipper Jones is having a "monster" year, and if he stays healthy should put up "monster" stats. This year, however, I do not see David Wright putting up "monster" stats.

The David Lettermann curse thing is crap too, by the way."


TRUTH!

Why JD doesn't watch the MLB All Star Game...Part II

I was just checking over the updated ballot for the Major League Baseball All-Star game. Much to my chagrin, the Mets aren't doing so well. Sure their infield will pretty much field the NL side of the game, but that's too be expected. Stupid New York Met fans with nothing better to do just simultaneously click their mouses over and over (for the max 25 votes) and then they make up e-mail addresses and do it again. One thing that makes me so happy I could cry is the fact that Russ Martin of the Dodgers is edging Paul LoDuca out of the NL Catcher Spot.

For those of you who don't know, or haven't realized, I hate fucking Paul LoDuca. I hate him. I really do. Moreso than I hate David Wright, or Tom Herr. I don't know why, honestly, I just fucking do.

Anyway, Prince Fielder is going to edge out Albert Pujols for the NL 1st Baseman Starting spot. As well he fucking should, the guy has been hammering the holy bejesus out of the ball. He's hitting .283, with 26 Long balls, and 61 rbis. Pujols (whom I think is awesome, don't get me wrong) is batting .303 with 16 long balls and 47 rbis. Pujols' OBP is better, it's just that he hasn't displayed the type of power that Fielder has yet. Granted, Fielder is on a much better team and Pujols is on a sinking ship with a bird-emblem. Fielder is a good choice.

Chase Utley is another surprise for JD, because I have always called the All Star game a popularity contest (it is), but Utley is actually deserving of the 2B spot on the NL side. Kelly Johnson maybe have 8 HRs, but I mean the guy is as inconsistant as ever. Utley's batting .322 to Johnson's .274, Utley has 30 doubles, to Johnson's 13. Although, take into consideration that Utley isn't leading off.

3rd Base is going to fucking bewilder me. I know that Chipper Jones was hurt and all that. And that David Wright was in a slump, but considering the fact that he's still batting - fuck it...look:

Jones' stats: .320 Avg, .408 OBP, 13 HR, 28 RBI, 38 runs!, 15 doubles, 1 3b.
Wright's stats: .289 Avg, .373 OBP, 12 HR, 40 RBI, 41 runs, 18 doubles, 1 3b.

You've got to be fucking kidding me. This jaggoff is leading the All Star rankings? And by jaggoff I mean David Wright. Come-the fuck-on here. It aggravates me to no-end to see this. And to think that David Wright has played 20 more games! I mean, Chipper Jones has scored 38 runs! Thirty-Eight runs, for those of you who can't read numbers, in 51 games with a team that had a cleanup hitter that was hitting below .200! I means that in 51 games, Chipper Jones hits the fucking ball! Isn't that what a hitter batting third is supposed to do ...consistently? I know this is going to piss off Marc, but I'm so fucking peeved by this shit I'm thinking of sending a letter to Omar Minaya explaining why (and how much) I hate him.

Jesus. Lest we forget that Miguel Cabrera deserves the reigns more than both of them (granted Chip was hurt for 20 games) Cabrera who has played 71 games has a .327 Avg, .395 OBP, 16 HR, 53 RBIs, 45 runs, 20 doubles, 2 3b.

I'm fucking flabbergasted. I really don't understand the All Star game, isn't he point to get the best player out there and not some fucking hack that the fans voted for. I mean, Jesus-Fucking-Christ, what's the point? If the best man for the job isn't out there hitting, fielding, and eating sunflower seeds..then what, my friends, is the point of all this?

Why JD doesn't watch the MLB Allstar Game...

Magglio Ordonez batting 380+ on the Year with 34 Doubles, 13 HRs, 68 RBIs, and a 471 AVG with RISP ...Is 4th on the All Star Ballot. Fuck you baseball fans, for being inept at picking an allstar game. Fuck you for picking for popularity. You suck. It's your fault that I haven't watched an All Star game in Five years. You fucking posers.

Oh yeah, this is why David Wright is on the All Star team, because of fucking Met fans.
