Careful, Chuggie can smell an opening like this miles away.

This conversation has AIDS.

[smeags]

now you do too.

[rjs246]

Yeah but it was totally worth it.

[smeags]

agreed, we should have a romantic dinner.

Yeah, "barely serviceable" wasn't the best choice of words there.  But I still don't think Bonds was ever really spectacular in LF, regardless of the gold gloves because we all know that the GG is subjective and often times a popularity contest more so than being indicative of actual performance.  We he a decent/good outfielder in his younger days?  Sure, why not.  But for the majority of his career he was on the field for his bat, not his glove.   

Still, I don't care how many assists he had, gold gloves, etc, etc, there's absolutely no excuse for not being able to throw out Sid farging Bream.

Im going to have to say you're so way off on this Sarge. Bonds was an "all-around" stud until he juiced and considered one of the best outfielders of his time. He was quick as shtein, could chase down the ball with the best of them and a more than adequate arm (minus the bream play which was only a little off-line anyway).

Im not too sure where you're coming up with this.

if 2nd all time in assists isn't spectacular then i can't wait to hear what you think of the guy in 3rd place.

[reese125]

those assists only happened because he was popular.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

That guy probably should have avoided not only baseball but professional sports altogether.

[Don Ho]

To be fair, 90% of left fielders have to be reminded as to which hand wears the glove and which one throws.

Victorino plays left field?

[SunMo]

just curious....how do you win 8 gold gloves in LF if you're not serviceable?

thank you.

[ice grillin you]

I don't really have any interest in adding Bonds necessarily, but he was one of the best LFers ever in the game before he got juiced up (if people's theories on when he started juicing are correct).

Bonds, even in his youth, was barely a serviceable left fielder....after all, this is the guy who couldn't throw out an 80 year old Sid Bream in the 92 NLCS.  He was in the league for his bat and only his bat. 

holy shtein

[Rome]

i thought sassy hated baseball?

whatever.

DOG PILE ON THE WABBIT!!
