Comparing Guillen to Hunter is pathetic

[Docwaukee]

I bought into it, loved the guy, dropped $300+ on his jersey and then he pulls this crap after he leaves...I was pissed!

was it hand stitched by Jesus?

was it hand stitched by Jesus?

 

yes, and it was made with authentic trout

[Lou]

He scammed me, of course I'm pissed! But I'm not bitter, I just hate hearing Angels fans praise the guy without knowing the facts.

 

this is one of my favorite posts ever

Torii is past prime, so no.

That said, theres some sretching going on here. Hates gays? No, he expressed his opinion (which unfortunately is still more common than people like to think). Bashed arte? The angels did in fact shut him out and sign hamilton to far more money than he was asking. Say what you want, but hunter was one of the better contracts we had ever signed (current era), was a good teamate, and a fan favorite. If your girlfriend said she needed space and jumped into a new relationship, im sure youd have an opinion too.

The 'imposters' thing got blown way the hell out of proportion. He made a solid point, and used one wrong word and people went apeshit. He said mlb doesnt have many black players (true) and said the casual fan sees dominican players and assume theyre black based on appearance but theyre not. Personally, i dont care if mlb has a 1000 black players or zero, i just want to see the best players compete. But he was asked a specific question and he answered it (and regardless, someones always gonna get butthurt when race is discussed).

Say no to the guy based on diminished skills. Some of the hate im reading on here is funny though...

I agree - except with the saying no thing - If he wanted a contract that is inexpensive based on diminished skills I'd consider it

As for jerseys I wish I had bought a Hunter jersey id still wear it

[Kevin]

You're PISSED and you HATE that Angel fans praise him. Yet somehow you aren't bitter? I must say sir, that is quite the accomplishment.

Probably not because Jesus is in the distribution end of the business. I can't remember if it is Felipe or Matty that does the stitching.

Also dropped $300+ on a Trout jersey too, hoping he doesn't turn out to be a fraud too.

Maybe you should stop trying to put pro athletes on some pedestal

[tdawg87]

I hear Trout is building a baseball field in New Jersey because there aren't enough black people playing baseball.

[bloodbrother]

MVTrout sounds like those fans who burn jersey's when a player leaves town

[MVTrout]

@tdawg - Ok, now that was actually pretty funny...unlike all the other pathetic attempts at humor that have been made throughout this lame discussion!

what i've learned in this thread is that you're pissed but not bitter, and that you apparently have a fair amount of disposable income.

[MVTrout]

Naw, I only buy jerseys once in a few years, way too expensive.

They are pretty expensive but not quite $300 and doesn't have a name on the back but here you go.

Sorry we aren't as funny as you big guy. i will admit reading what you have posted in this thread is quite hilarious. I don't believe a single word of it, but funny none the less.

I really hope MVTrout runs into GA in some store or parking lot and asks for an autograph or picture. My guess is Garrett will also be a fraud. A lazy one but a fraud nonetheless.

I hear he's quite the gentleman to fans. But approach him at a golf pro shop and he loses his shit. He just...really enjoys golf. People need to stop trying to take him off his game.

[MVTrout]

Ha ha ha!

[Lou]

Maybe you should stop trying to put pro athletes on some pedestal

and find a different place to buy jerseys

[MVTrout]

I only buy the authentic ones, the replica ones are too ghetto.

[ten ocho recon scout]

I wonder what hunter would say about ghetto jerseys....so you could post a link and call him out on it.

[Mark68]

I have one Angels jersey....one. It's a replica from the 2002 WS (in that I have a WS patch) with Salmon's name and number. I just don't have the kind of money to be throwing around on Jerseys. My most-often worn hat is an Angels cap that's about a decade old now. I'm also very cognizant that ball players are not infallible super beings. They are human, with all the baggage that entails.

Love the big words!
