To Tomlinson21RB, whatever. I call it like I see it. There is no way that Porcello also deserves 5 games just for acting in self-defense and you should also admit that regardless of what you are. Was he supposed to just stand there and let himself get tackled?
I might be suspended for typing this but Youkilis is a Jew despite his "Greek God of walks" nickname and the commissioner Bud Selig is also Jewish. Porcello is a non-Jewish "gentile" of Italian heritage to my knowledge so he was punished more than he should have been likely because they...
Why else would several people be defending a guy (Youkilis) who was clearly in the wrong?
He shouldn't have taken it personal and he should have just sucked it up and made his way to first base like most other players who are hit by pitches.
To the Jewish posters on here, stop defending Youkilis just because he is a fellow Jew.
What he did was wrong and Porcello was just acting in self-defense because Youkilis threw his helmet at him first. Youkilis deserved to be taken down the way he was. It's baseball and pitchers hit batters...
Why do you have a picture of Bobby Lashley in your profile. You should have a picture of Brock Lesnar in there as he is going to crush Lashley when they eventually go 1 on 1.
Now there's a name from the past. I still have a sizable stash of his cards from 2003 including a gold refractor. I should have sold 4 years ago but I kept holding out because of his power potential.
He is having a bit of a resurgance this year in the Rockies system and he is still only 24 so...
I saw that a Bowman Chrome orange refractor graded BGS 9.5 finished for $215 earlier tonight. I think that the buyer overpaid by $50-$75 considering that it isn't autographed like some of his other rookie cards but time will tell.
Billy Rowell's 2006 Bowman Sterling Red Refractor auto 1/1 also recently sold for $175 which I thought was a good deal for the buyer who won it. It's amazing how far 2 of the most hyped prospects from the 2006 rookie crop have fallen.
The base red xfractor parallels are #'d of 65 but the Ethier is #'d of 25 as are all of the red xfractor autos. I agree that Kemp has a higher ceiling and is 2 years younger but the Topps Chrome auto is also on card and I'm pretty sure that people opened a lot less 2005 Topps Chrome Update...
He is obviously on a tear right now but I noticed that he has several rookie cards.
Which do you consider to be his best rookie card? I'm thinking one of the lower Exquisite parallels or his Bowman's Best gold auto /50 but I'm interested to hear anyone's else's opinion.
Considering that so many Latin American players lie about their age, I can understand why some teams who are looking to sign him for big $ would question how old he is.
I picked up an orange refractor for $80.00 earlier this year and sold it for $225 after it was announced that he defected...
