Dear Mr. Shoemaker

[Revad]

Looking back I must appoligize. I was only trying in my distorted way to say strong women are sooooo sexy - guys want the whole package.

[Mark68]

Mr. Shoemaker:

 

Does he drink Dr Pepper Ten?

[Tank]

It needs its own nickname too.  Something along the lines of the Iron Curtain.

 

wasnt there some movie or tv show or whatever about a guy who had "the beard of destiny"? that sound familiar to anyone else?

[Tank]

If Matt is able to lead us to the promised land, I for one will wear a fake beard to the AW Fanfest to show my support. 

 

something like this would be perfect:

 

 

[HeavenlyHalos]

Mr. Shoemaker,

 

Let me be another that thanks you for your seed keeping us in the pennant race. It must have been weird seeing the ultrasound with some stubble already present.

[Taylor]

I bet it gets him laid more than the rockpile gets Weaver laid. Just saying.

 

He did mention in an interview that his wife loves the beard.

[Taylor]

And this is why we all need to chill and watch what we say here. These kinds of experiences >>>>>>> getting to call someone a POS for giving up a run.

 

I doubt Fernando Salas's parents read English.

I think we all let this rest because the ante was getting out of reach. But it will always be one of my favorite threads.

Just pencil the Cobbler in for the 2nd spot in the rotation come October.

I might be speaking out of my rear, or stayed at a Holiday Inn Express. But his composure seems to be off the charts. That is critical to have come October.

Does Matt trim his beard with a machete? I feel like he trims his beard with a machete.

[Chimi]

Pretty sure he uses his heat vision and a mirror.

[tdawg87]

I wanna see this dude in a lumberjack competition. While sailing through a hurricane. And pitching a 2 hit shutout.

[AngelsLongBall]

So, kinda like the end of Dexter?

[Angel Dog and Beer]

He wears number 52 for the number of countries he's single handily conquered.

[nate]

Macho!

[ukyah]

imagine this rotation with a healthy richards. i think we would have walked away with the division. weaver has been steady, wilson is coming around again and richards/shoemaker have been outstanding.

[Angels Never Die]

Shoemaker is saving our asses right now.

[Ordos]

Macho!

¿Quiénes mas macho, Señor Zapatero, o Ricardo Montalbán?

Except that would give most the opposite type of reaction that the end of Dexter did.

Interesting comment from the Angels article.  Shoe is the first non drafted American rookie to get 13 wins since John "The Count" Montefusco.  Who digs up these stats?

[Ordos]

Count Montefusco is a pretty badass name, though

[UndertheHalo]

Guy just continues to impress. Wow.

With all due respect to Trout, GR and Ibañez, Shoe is our MVP this year.

Absolutely nothing was eexpected from him and he has been outstanding.

[ten ocho recon scout]

Hes definetely been a shot in the arm. Hes getting it done, and seems to be a likeable guy to boost. Hate to bring up an overused comp, but hes very '2002ish'....reminds me of a donnelly or a speiezio type. Comes out of nowhere and has a very real impact.

Prob not the best thread to mention it, but ive been quietly impressed with santiago lately too. He and shoe have been pretty rock solid for the last 2 or 3 months. Sans injuries this is a very good staff
