Yeah I pretty much agree. I wasn’t crazy about the uniform thing with GA. I’m kinda surprised that the league allows the uniforms to be worn as such in games, but what do I know, I guess I’m finally showing my age.😂

I somehow missed the deal about FSU’s player, what went on there?

FSU pitcher Wes Mendes was screaming towards Mississippi State hitter after he struck him out: “Sit the F down you little inbred b****!”

Oh yeah, the comment rings a bell. Thanks, I was drawing a blank on that one. Didn’t he get suspended for the Super Regionals? If so, I can’t say I’d disagree with the suspension. Yelling something like that at an opposing player is I would say an extreme case of unsportsmanlike conduct, especially in that specific situation. Keeping the heat up is great, but that is way over the line and should never be tolerated IMO. Appreciate the explanation.

He was born right in the middle of Florida. Blame his parents.

Agreed. Really though, I’m not saying I’m against players doing different types of things to be different and the like. We’ve established that we both think that look is ridiculous and it is, but I might not look at it with such disdain if it were a situation where every single player did it sort of as a team show of unity or some such. No, I still wouldn’t like the look bc I think it looks improper and unprofessional, but I could understand it more if the players were together about it and it meant something to the team. Heck, if the whole team did it and stayed hyped up and played well I might could even get behind it, if it were a team move. Unfortunately, the way it was just certain players really made it come off to me as a low class move and just looked trashy. Basically just a certain group of our players screaming look at me me me, when they should be sending out vibes that say look at US and watch what WE are about to do!

Chippers just having anxiety because Father’s Day is coming up. He’s worried two or three more kids of his will surface by women he don’t even remember.

I haven’t brought up his personal life. Everyone has skeletons. I’ve just been talking strictly baseball.

Exactly. What does it matter how many kids he has running around by different woman. It's none of our business.

My ex and I owned a training facility for athletes only. Had Lemke, Marquis Grissom, Schmolts, many others. Chipper wanted to lift with a slab of tobacco in his mouth. Ex ran him out.

Boo freaking hoo. He never signed any of my stuff either but I realize professional athletes are not obligated to sign anything. Did he say anything to hurt your feelings? The best of the best are in extremely high demand and maybe game days were his time to block everything out, be with his teammates, and lock in. Or maybe he felt like if he signed one thing he would feel obligated to sign for everyone as to not disappoint anyone. Who knows? Nobody here knows what kind of pressure a face of the franchise player is under. You can’t hold a grudge against a professional athlete all because they don’t sign before games. He used to get thousands of stuff sent to him each year to sign and even said he attempted to sign every single one of them early on but realized he couldn’t please everyone. I heard of a story about Javy Lopez returning a signed item to someone and it took 2 years for it to get back to the person that sent it. You’re crazy if you think professional athletes owe you an autograph.

I didnt care about nor say anything about signing anything did i? And i wasnt whining thank you mr. Smart guy. But if none of your "fans" purchases tickets then you aren't a millionaire playing a sport. They pay the bills. This wasn't a playoff game. It was a regular season game. All they had to do is acknowledge them not come hang out. You have your opinion i have mine. I guess that's why i wasn't a professional athlete. I know how my bills get paid. By people buying my jersey and paying 9 dollars for a beer and hotdog.

That dude turned away $6M whenever he was still slashing .300/.400/.500 in order to better his team around him. Would you walk away from that much money? Highly doubtful. So what if he doesn’t acknowledge anyone. Professional athletes get paid to put butts in seats, not sign autographs or say hello to everyone. He isn’t obligated to do that before his games. Take a hike man. You sound like a cry baby.
