Starlin Castro Unbridled Manlove with a Side Order of Sploogetasticism Thread

[Internet Apex]

I'm enjoying the hell out of this.

You think Starlin would be proud of what we've done with his sploogefest?

Starlin is probably wondering who the hooplehead is who brought Blagojevich into his thread.

I just knew it would get buttocks a chafin'. Lo and behold.

Guys from small towns are hayseeds who like shirts with white guys numbers on them. Guys from the city are meatballs who voted Blago all the way. Guys from the suburbs wear sweatervests and drive minivans. It's not complicated. It makes for a speedy Friday at the office. There's a whole thing of Bacitracin in the medicine cabinet if anybody needs it. And I'm an annoying jerk who doesn't make sense. It's all good.

Bump for the man that Pat and Ron told me is about to become eligible for the race for the batting title.

Castro: .316

Joey Votto (current NL leader): .323.

Sure, let him hit .318 this year, win a couple batting titles, then we'll see.

Still fucking pissed off about Madlock being dealt for that shitbag Bobby Murcer

CHICAGO -- In the eighth inning Saturday, the Cubs had runners on first and second and none out against the Mets, and rookie Starlin Castro was at the plate.
Castro is the Cubs' hottest hitter, ranked third in the National League in batting with a .321 average. But manager Mike Quade signaled for a bunt.

Castro did, and was successful. The runs didn't score, but the Cubs held on to win. When Quade saw his brother later Saturday night, he asked why he called for a bunt. A few fans asked as well.

"It was a teaching moment," Quade said.

Sometimes fans -- and manager's brothers, too -- have to remember Castro is 20 and skipped the Triple-A level.

It's important to teach youngsters the Cubs' long tradition of not scoring runs.

I'm just wondering what Quade's rules are for who is "established" enough to swing the bat in that situation and who isn't.

"The more you see me, I'm not a bunt guy. When I got home last night my brother asked me and looked at me and said, 'Bunt him?' I said it was a teachable moment. I wanted him to give himself up, not to mention we had some pretty hot hitters behind him."

If Castro were an established player?

"He would have hit," Mike said. "In the minor leagues, you get players like him and you never bunt."

Sweet, Mike Quade may be insane.  In which case I'm okay with this.

Or, he realized in hindsight it was a stupid thing to do and now he's doing his best to publically justify it since he's, you know, auditioning for a job next year.

Yea, my bad. Bad day and it seemed like a good time to show my displeasure
