Wikipedia facts following the jump
- Yadier Molina is the third catcher to play twice in the World Series prior to turning 25. The other two were Yogi Berra and Johnny Bench.
- Yadier, along with his Molina brothers Jose and Bengie, are the only trio of brothers to all have World Series Rings.
- Albert Pujols is a dick.
- Quoted directly from the Wikipedia article on Aaron Miles: "In spring training of 2000, several of his teammates from the Houston Astros organization were in their hotel when two gunmen burst into their room. Miles was in the next room and the gunmen took him hostage. The police arrived before the gunmen were able to take him to their getaway car, but one gunman fled the scene. The other forced Miles back into his room where he ended up wrestling the gunman to the ground. The police entered the room and shot the gunman while Miles held him to the floor. The gunman survived his wounds, and his accomplice was later captured."
- Brenden Ryan's mustache was nominated for the American Mustache Institute's mustache of 2009, he licks his shoulder when at-bat, and he does a "near-flawless" imitation of Robert De Niro. And his dad calls him Boog.
- Jason Motte has two nicknames. The first is "Apple Sauce". The other, far more interesting and strange one is "Motter Otter Harry Potter".
- On the subject of nicknames, Dennys Reyes is called "The Big Sweat", which is gross.
- Unfortunately, Trever Miller's daughter was born with several health problems, including a genetic disorder that is so rare that it doesn't even have a name yet. Miller helps with a 5K run where proceeds are donated to Kiwanis of Gulf Beaches Miracle League, which is a baseball related charity associated with children with disabilities.
- Joe Mathers' nickname is "Joey Bombs".
- Tony La Russa and Mark McGwire add a touch of class to the Cardinals coaching staff.

Hopefully this doesn’t happen in the series. Although, then I would get to see my dream of Prince dropping Albert Pujols.

He reached the conclusion that anything he does is appropriate...
… and anything anyone else does is disrespectful to the game. He decided that he can stare down homeruns and stroll out of the box whenever he wants, but anyone else who does it is disrespecting his pitcher. He decided that he can get annoyed with himself after a k, or even bark at a pitcher whenever he likes, but that anyone else who does it doesn’t respect the game.
He’s a great player, but he’s an arrogant prick too, and he’s got zero sense of his own unimportance in the grand scheme of the universe.

Exhibit C from this article: “I see teams take their jerseys out when the game is over,” he says. “To me, that’s not professional. I don’t care what you do when you get off the field, but don’t do it on the field. You don’t want kids to see negative things.”
Exhibit D: Any Pujols home run (this one was easily accessible)
Exhibit E (well, kind of)

Something tells me if Pujols untucked...

NOW it would...
… because he criticized others for doing it. My main problem with him is that he’s guilty of 90% of what he criticizes others for doing, and he’s absolutely clueless about his own hypocrisy. That’s what makes him a douchebag.

Even if he's guilty of what you say...
and that’s a big if – I don’t think he’s nearly as sanctimonious as you claim – he’s one of the all-time greats. He ranks between Babe Ruth and Ted Williams in WAR for their first 10 seasons. He’s not a run of the mill “good” player like Fielder or Braun. I think he has the standing to point out inappropriate, disrepectful behavior when he sees it.
Tis better to lose bunting than win with dingers alone...
His greatness as a player doesn't excuse the complete lack of logic.
I look to ballplayers for their ability to hit, field, throw and run. Not the use of their intellect. The fact that you think the former means he gets to be the arbiter of what amounts to respect and disrespect of the game suggests you’re as delusional as he is.
BTW, nice try at shifting the subject to the relative value of Pujols and Fielder or Braun, but that’s not the topic, is it? Or were you just hoping to get to a position you actually believed in, instead of one where you strain for “logic” even you find lacking?
What begins in fear usually ends in folly.
by Ted Simmons Speed Camp on Jun 4, 2010 6:45 PM CDT up reply actions
You haven't demonstrated any "lack of logic"
You haven’t identified any particular instance of him staring at home run or barking at a pitcher any more than anyone else does – Braun and Fielder included. You haven’t identified any instance of him being hypocritical at all.
All I’m saying is that, yes, he has opinions about appropriateness and “respect.” Any player is allowed to have such opinions, and one that ranks with Mays, Ruth, Williams, and Aaron among the all-time greats is certainly allowed to have them.

Others on this site...
.. have posted numerous images and videos of Pujols staring down his homeruns. I wouldn’t care about that if he didn’t criticize others for it. And the lack of logic is demonstrated by his suggesting that untucking was “negative”. Why? Can you explain that? Because he couldn’t, or at least he didn’t try.
No one said he’s not allowed to have his opinions, and the rest of us are allowed to think he’s a hypocritical tool for having them. But you said earlier that because he ranks with Williams and Ruth in his WAR, then “he has the standing to point out disrespectful and inappropriate behavior when he sees it”, and you suggested that “run of the mill good players” don’t. You’re suggesting that because he’s one of the all time greats, his opinion matters more than others, and that’s idiocy.

The thing is...
.. if people admit they hated untucking because it was an emotional reaction to losing to the Brewers, I’d be ok with that. I get that. It’s a very human reaction to losing to a team they don’t like. It’s the suggestion that it’s “negative” or “disrespectful” that’s utter crap. It’s a much more cowardly approach to commenting on it than simply saying “I freaking hate it when they untuck.”

The point people are trying to make to you
Is that we don’t care if Albert celebrates or stares down HRs. It’s that he’s a hypocrite. Braun doesn’t admonish other players for celebrating. Here’s a link for you. It refers to my comment above.
You haven't marshalled any evidence...
that Pujols violates the written or unwritten rules of baseball. He stares at his home runs a bit – this is common practice. He barks at the pitcher if the pitcher f*cks with him – this occurs in baseball. He made a somewhat uncharitable comment about a pitcher that shut him down four years ago in the middle of the NLCS – this happens in the heat of battle.
Untucking is not common practice. In Pujols’ opinion, and many others, it is disrespectful of the game. Stating such does not make Pujols a hypocrite, because Pujols does not disrespect the game.

You’re essentially saying that untucking is disrespectful because Pujols doesn’t do it, and the things Pujols does aren’t disrespectful because he does them.

The stuff Pujols does is routine all over baseball. The stuff he criticizes, he doesn’t do. He doesn’t untuck. I’m not saying it’s disrespectful, he is, and he doesn’t do it or anything else that’s out of the ordinary in terms of appropriate conduct.

"The stuff he criticizes, he doesn’t do."
This is completely and 100% false. He criticizes people for staring at their home runs, and does it more than anyone. I remember him being interviewed during Prince’s first round of the home runs derby and he said something to the tune of “He would hit more home runs if he didn’t stare at them so much.” That is why he is a dick. Plain and simple.
You don’t seem to believe us, so I submit for evidence this, this, this, this, this, this, this, and these useless spring training homers here, here, here, also this, and this (my personal favorite). Ok, one more just for fun.

He is a dick for the reasons that have been rehashed in all the comments on this thread.
Just like Braun is kind of a douchebag for his Remetee clothing line. They’re both still very good at baseball, so I would be happy to have either on the team I cheer for.
But Pujols is still a dick. He appears to have declared himself arbiter of what is acceptable behavior in the baseball world while being a showoff himself.
But, yeah, I probably just have no idea what I’m talking about. That’s always the reason someone would have a dissenting opinion.

The shirt untucking thing is way over played. It was a gimmick used by a wanna be team. Now it’s not even a topic anymore because you guys are right back where you came from; a sub 500 team with nothing more than a wild card “championship”. Wow!
