Starlin Castro Showing off his Thunderstick.....

ballerskrip · Aug 12, 2011

I think he must have been reading FCB lately and getting sick of the members here saying he has no power and won't gain more.

Just hit his 7th Homerun.

Trending****** 4 Homeruns in the last 10 games.

I know. I have been thinking of that thread where he had a lot of haters. Now he is showing some power.

Junior Griffey · Aug 12, 2011

I don't think he'll ever be a 30 hr guy but 20/20 every year isn't out of the question. Let's hope he keeps it up!

It was a home run vs middle relief in garbage time.

Comon skrip, you're better than that.

I will give you a pass since I puked on your foot.

If we took those all away from every player...

You should start a Running Starlin Castro Ass Kiss thread so you don't have to keep creating new ones every 2 days

And you should create a thread each day proving to be a d-bag. Oh wait, you do that 10-15 times daily as it is.

Not sure how I am kissing ass. He is the best player on my favorite team who I have also invested in. The perfect storm for me.

If you don't like it, don't read it.

And Gilmore, how many of the homeruns hit each year are in situations where the game has been decided? 30%? 40%?

I don't think showing power has anything to do what inning the home run was hit in.

All very true, but why hype up one of these ordinary home runs?

You both have points. I'm not going to start a thread that Braun and Fielder just went back-to-back in the 8th off of whoever that was, but they both do get to add to their HR total.

Agreed.

You're kinda like how Hofautos used to be, but with a player. If I posted about some random Cardinal player after he had a good game, I'd be called a homer. Oh well.

Junior Griffey · Aug 12, 2011

Guys all he's saying is it's nice to see Castro pick it up lately and hit for a little power. He's not talking exclusively about the HR he hit tonight. He's on a hot streak and as great a year as he's had, the one thing it's been missing is a little power.

ballerskrip · Aug 12, 2011

THe funny thing is that I am not trying to hype him. I am NOT looking to sell my cards. I am just excited to see him displaying some power that I felt and feel will continue to come, despite all of the naysayers. That is all.

Think about how easily it is for us to assume you're hyping him though. We know you're invested, we know you love him.

cgilmo · Aug 12, 2011

I'm just sayin skrip, with a guy like him you don't have to say much.

Anyone that can't see his potential is blind.

I get it, I do. No sweat off my back. I don't often get excited about any Cubs players, the last being the Prior / Wood Era. I am just trying to enjoy it and view Starlin as the shining star we have desperately craved. As much as I love cards, prospecting, the whole bit, I am Cubs fan 1st, baseball fan 2nd, and baseball card fan 3rd.

Well, that's it....

Well that explains it. So you're either

1. Constantly talking about him so you can create hype and subsequently turn a profit on your investment

2. You predicted he'd be good when he was in the minors, and now that he IS good in the majors, you need to remind people every day that HEY, I WAS TOTALLY RIGHT ON A BOLD PREDICTION I MADE IN THE INTERNETZ!!!1!

It's one of the two. You know it and so do I.

People get pissed when a million Bryce Harper threads touting completely inconsequential **** get started. So yeah, I'm gonna get pissed when I see a new Starlin Castro thread every other day.

Do you know how many threads I've created touting my favorite player (Hamilton)? Zero. Then again, I don't need an Internet support group to reassure me my favorite player is good

ballerskrip · Aug 12, 2011

JH, judge me how you will. I could really care less.

But as I have stated in this thread twice now, neither of your two assumptions are correct.

Look. I understand you're a huge Castro fan. I'm glad for you that he's doing well. I'm sure it's exciting. I actually like him (the 3-4 times I've watched him)

But you create a TON of threads about him.
