Now I remember how miserable I am in the offseason when we are not signing the best free agents in baseball. In the interest of getting back to all things Dodgers, we shall play the following game. In another thread someone was bitching about the ESPYs. I agree that they are self-congratulatory bullshit. Here we will give awards to current or former Dodgers. These are meant to humorous. Go fucking nuts: For best escape from a 3rd world country with a tyrannical dictator: Yasiel Puig What do you have to say Puig? "I want to thank God for giving me the talent necessary for people to help me to get out of that bitch Castro's country. I want to thank Cespedes for setting the bar so low that I look like a fucking rock star on my arrival. I want to thank Conte and Falsone for being such shitty trainers ensuring that someone would always be hurt and helping me get an outfield spot. I want to thank my team mates for clapping when I do it all. I want to thank Donnie for shutting the fuck up and just writing down my name. Finally and most important, I want to thank Tommy for showing me how to hook up with these blonde bitches out here. And on a personal note, let me say a big Fuck You to Boche for fucking over the NL by not playing me--you dumb bitch."
and the nominees for best fail in a closing role are... ralph branca, for the shot heard round the world terry forster, for little joe goes big jonathan broxton, for matt climbs the stairs tom neidenfurer, for clark's jack and brandon league, for dumb man walking and the winner is...
LOL...Well Branca got cheated because the Giants were stealing signs and calling pitches. League hasn't blown anything too important. I'll go with Neidenfuer and Jack Clark.
Love the titles of the fails Irish (ala Sports Countdowns). We had a kid drop a fly ball in the Pony championship game. His name was Scott Wright. After that we'd always mimic a countdown show of the biggest sports blunders of all time. "#1...'Scott Wrong'.."
Good post, there seem to be so many to choose from. Branca still says the Giants had a telephoto lens...who knows? One of the most disappointing things I heard recently, a little related to this post, I guess, is that Kershaw wears 22 in honor of Will Clark...(rim shot)...Give me a fucking break. Not only a racist redneck, but a SF Giant? How far from what I think Clayton is, a Dodger future HoF player, and a man who helps needy, homeless blacks in Africa, from this KKK member? I was gobsmacked when I heard it. I wish that I didn't , actually.
Yeah, I was disappointed about Kershaw's worship of will the Thrill. I think it has more to do with Will playing in Texas for 4 years. At least that's what I'll keep telling myself so I don't dislike CK for any reason because I sure hated the fuck out of will Clark! A true Dodger killer.
Indeed ^^^^. But it's sorta like, you respect a guy, say like Colonel Ollie North, and you find out he admired Adolf Hitler. Just shakes you up a bit. I love Willie Mays for what he gave us back in the day...but when he played against the Duke and the other Boys of Summer, I hated him. Time has passed since the Thrill moved on from baseball....but he still evokes my wrath and disdain. Always will.... Clayton...Will the Thrill? Tsk, tsk...
