Starlin Castro Unbridled Manlove with a Side Order of Sploogetasticism Thread

[Bort]

Shut. up.

All of you.

Castro could legally date your daughter, couldn't he?

Not in Arizona.

He's Dominican, idito.

Still looks Mexican enough to give probable cause.

If he's Dominican, he's probably older than all of us put together.

You get a slow clap.

Others on the list: Corey Patterson (20) and Greg Maddux (20).

Starlin is the first Cub player born in 1990 or later to make the MLB.  I feel old.

He might be the first Cub player in my lifetime who is younger than me.

Mine was Kerry Wood.

For me, it would have been Geremi Gonzalez, I reckon.  Yay?

[MAD]

Apparently, although I was not aware of it at the time, Terry Adams was the first Cub player/pitcher that was younger than me.

Also, I fucking hated Terry Adams.

That'd be worse, because it would mean that I unwittingly made the same joke as Chuck.

Which is what happened.  I'll go sit in the corner.

Who is Scott Moore?

1/3 of a Kyle Farnsworth and 1/2 of a Steve Trachsel 2.

It is not just that the first thing that I look at in the paper in the morning is the obituaries, I then check out the year that the deceased was born.

This kid gets to balls that Theriot can only dream of tracking down. And then he nonchalantly sidearms them wide of the bag. It's a good thing Alan Trammell is the best infielding coach in the history of the sport or who knows what kind of bad habits this dude would develop. At some point he might teach one of them the proper way to field a throw from the catcher. One hopes that someone is Castro.

THIS.

If Trammel is worth a shit, he'll teach Castro to stay home, on the bag, on throws to second from the catcher on attempted steals.  I heard on the radio that Castro apparently did one of those ghey-assed, jump out-out-in-front-of-the-bag and then sweep back for a diving tag attempt on a Brandon Phillips stolen base.  Just because all the kids are doing it doesn't make it right.  That shit needs to stop yesterday.

I don't normally encourage kids to STAY OFF HUEY'S LAWN, but...
