Derrek Lee Total Sploogefest Love-a-Thon Thread

[The Paul Popovich Experience]

My gawd. If we only had more guys like this, hell, half as good as this.

[Dan]

I figured out his projected stats  for the season based on the first 21 games.http://bestdancubblog.blogspot.com/2005/04/d-lee-total-badass.html
Don't for get to take into account that he's always cold in April.

    *  .430 Batting Average
    * 54 Home Runs
    * 208 Runs Batted In
    * 31 Stolen Bases
    * 146 Runs Scored
    * 262 Hits
    * .500 On Base Percentage
    * .797 Slugging Percentage

One of the lines above is the gorgeous Derrek's.  One of them belongs to a certain Korean first baseman who shall remain nameless.  Can you guess which is which?

Next time you're thinking about ripping Hendry, just come back to this thread, and think again.

I wonder how all of the people who were chanting the name of that certain Korean first basemen at wrigley last year feels right now?

I didn't have a problem with them doing that - he's not BAD.  That line is verging on respectable, and he's still young.  He'll be a decent major league first baseman, I don't doubt it.  It's just that Derrek... well, Derrek is a complete fucking STUD.  With one or two exceptions, anyone is going to look bad by comparison.

[Shooter]

And none of those numbers show the effect of his defense. I would say he saves at least one out per game over an average first baseman. Some of the throws he has dug out of the dirt or otherwise corralled have been amazing.

Why would that stop them, Tonker?  There are people who still are mad that we don't have Bobby Hill.

And, I'm betting LaRussa comes up with an excuse for leaving him off the All-star team.

I weep nightly for the loss of Matt Bruback.  Life goes on.

[Uncouth Sloth]

I love Derrek with every part of my body, including my pee pee.

He's on the verge of capturing the April Triple Crown.  As of today, he leads the NL in HR/RBI/BA.

Bump.

Mariotti rips the Fish for trading Lee, but somehow manages to completely miss the most damning thing about the trade.  One year after trading Derrek for the first baseman of the future they had to spend more than twice what Derrek is getting from the Cubs for a guy who's older and can't catch the ball.

But really, all Jay's column was about today was an excuse to recount how Derrek's dad showed (allegedly) his mandingo to some stewardesses in a hotel hallway.

But who hasn't done that?

What is it with Mariotti's obsession about men being naked?  More than once he has brought up Dempster having streaked down Lincoln Avenue in the offseason.  Not only does nobody give a flying fuck, but it has nothing to do with his pitching and, last I checked, Mariotti's paid to cover sports.  And now he pens 1,000 words so that he can wax nostalgic about Lee the Elder flashing his wang.

If Jay's gay, there's nothing wrong with that, but it sure would explain a lot.  Self-loathing homosexual makes a career in irrationally lashing out at pro athletes.  Things that make you go "Hmm" indeed.
