"I am not a Klingon!" - Jamie in LA's McClung Report!

I talked to Seth and told him that i was a regular poster on brewcrewball.  he said that he was aware of the site; and that he wanted to say that he loves being a brewer and is very happy to be with the organization.  

He was very nice and said that he wanted to tell everyone that he is a "real person with feelings." and not a klingon (who has no feelings).

He said that some of the criticism has been tough on his family; but it has mostly been from his times in tampa.  

i asked him if i could quote him on "i am not a klingon." and he said i could.  

seth is a really nice guy.  he chatted with me for a few minutes; and seemed very excited about the season; and his place in the brewer organization.

i told him that there was nothing but love; and that we think he is awesome; unlike some of the other players.  he posed for a pic with me that i think is pretty cool.

jamie in la!

Eventually, Seth will find himself among the Brewer immortals.

And by immortals, I mean Brooks Kieschnick, Russell Branyan, Joe Winkelsas...

Honestly, I think he can contribute to the Major League club this year. There's no doubt that they'll need him at some point, and everyone knows he's got the talent. Good luck, Seth "Not a Klingon" McClung.

I like the poll
Klingons have feelings, though. They're quick to anger (and are thus often violent). It's Vulcans that suppress emotion in favor of logic.

Cuidado
I hope you addressed Son of Clung with appropriate respect.  I've never met you but I don't think you are like only 4'9" tall but next to Seth anyone would kinda shrimpy.  

You looked like a jalapeno popper that Seth could pop right into his mouth as a little snack after setting down Fukidome, Lee and Ramirez in the 7th inning on Opening Day.

Nonsense
He's just saying he's not a Klingon so that he can fit in with his human teammates.

Don't worry Seth, we got your back.

He seems like a nice guy
You should tell him that the criticism would die down if he pitched better :)

Unfortunately, he now also has to live down the thug rep that Yost laid on him when he accepted the contract on Pujols.

Take away
his first two games and he pitched pretty well. It seems like there is a sort of pack mentality that either is for or against players.

The converse of the McClung and Vargas and Turnbow are garbage that are worth a bag of balls is the olympic level gymnastics that are done to defend Bush and Capuano.

As for hitting Pujols, he ain't a thug because he didn't really whack him. I say thanks Seth for defending your teammates.

I'm so sick of LaRussa and his whining and attacking if anyone isn't all sweet and deferential to the mighty Pujols, his personal pet. The real problem is that they can't actually hit LaRussa.

Given that Tony says he doesn't believe McGuire used steroids and he is hot to have Bonds on the Cards, it makes me wonder about Pujols. He comes from a country where steroids are easily available. It would certainly fit.

From what I remember about McClung
It seems like he must tip off his curveball, because it wasn't a bad pitch but he seemed to not get the strikeout numbers like a guy like turnbow.

Even though Mcclung almost had a K per inning, it just seems like he should have more with his velocity.

whew
All that from "tell him to pitch better."

You're a hoot, Pete.

McClung
I'll never forget the first game he pitched as a Brewer. IIRC, against the Diamondbacks, he broke 100 on several pitches (and was a little wild, but hey, it's a high nerves situation).
