Re: Nats Hit Century Mark
I can't stop laughing. I will Robert some props because he is right about Adam Dunn being a good player, and does promotion for Adam because most will only talk about strikeouts and fielding and give no credit for what intangibles he brings to the lineup.

This was probably Adam Dunn's best season of his career!

Re: Nats Hit Century Mark
Journey would probably be my all time favorite. Actually, my fav baseball player is retired...Dave Kingman. I also collect Thome and McGwire and have several cool pieces from these guys. Dunn I talk alot about because I think he got the SHAFT by only 1 team offering a contract and his numbers prove him worthy. I could talk highly of the other players if you wish...
Regarding the man-love comment, I'm just a 45 year old guy with a serious addiction to baseball; married 13 years with a 12 year old son and 8 year old daughter. Very heterosexual. No man love. I've been off work 15 months with a work related injury that Cleveland Clinic is trying to fix, so...I have alot of time on my hands for sports and it helps keep my mind off the pain if you really must know...

Re: Nats Hit Century Mark
Robert,
First and most importantly, I am truly sorry to hear about your work injury, and my best wishes go out to you in recovering fully from the mishap. I'm sure it's been a tough road for you, especially with a couple of young ones to look after.
I trust you know I was 100% just posting a laugher. I in no way ever really was questioned your manhood, and I understand your admiration of Dunn. I collect 500 home run hitter game used stuff, and I really hope Adam makes it there one day.
And I absolutely share your addiction to baseball. It's the greatest game in the world.
The only downer about the guy (Dunn) is he strikes out a lot. But he is one of the premier power hitters in the game, and the poor guy seems to get no love from a contender.
But here's to hoping that the Nats become a contender, and soon. I know Andrew would be a lot happier!
My best regards,
Steve

Hey Robert (skyking26),
You don't happen to have any Thome home run balls (actual balls hit in a game for one of his career home runs), do you?
If so, let me know if you'd be willing to sell one to me!!
You can email me directly if you wish...
suicide_squeeze@roadrunner.com Thanks, Steve

Re: Nats Hit Century Mark
Just taking 1 day at a time Steve. Watching my 12 year old play Fallball. He was 3/4 today with 2 RBI's. We split a double header.
No Thome homers. I own home gamers of him with all 3 teams except LA. I won't ever look for anything LA as I think the trade sucked. The hell with it.
Dunn needs 2 HRS to pass Ruth with 6 seasons in a row 40 HRS; and does not play today. And - they lose again, go figure. Doubtful he'll hit 2 more in the alotted games. He's a different guy, most sluggers K alot, but 100+ walks in pretty snazzy. I'd take it on my team.
