You'd think it'd at least go on the fences...

Beelzebud is still a used-car salesman.

A $3.6 million payday for this stunt seems pretty low to me.

I hope some players kick dirt all over it before the game starts and every 3 innings.

I'm guessing Schilling
will hate all this, well, shilling,
and steal three bases

kinda reminds me of the Citgo logo, doubled.

Someone needs to create some other base ad images, right?

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 6 May 2004 12:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes, and they should be done on MS Paint!

spiderman 2 marketing idea shot down after fans disapprove

the yankees save baseball once again.

Put a semicolon and a right paren at the end of posts like that next time, John.

The logo will be more easily seen if stitched to the ass of Kyle Farnsworth's pants, anyway.

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Friday, 7 May 2004 15:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Or the asses of the baserunners he walks.

Bonds on the Spidey bases controversy:

"What the [bleep] are you asking me for? I don't care. Our job is to play ball, not to worry about what ad is on the billboard. I don't care. They can have [bleepin'] dog-poo as bases so I have to step in [bleep] as far as I'm concerned. What the hell."

― bnw (bnw), Friday, 7 May 2004 22:10 (twenty-one years ago)

hahaha, bonds is such a caricature of himself in that article (sitting out multiple games because of a cold and following it up with lots of macho posturing). i should archive it so i can hand it to anyone who wants to know why i dislike the man.

― John (jdahlem), Friday, 7 May 2004 22:24 (twenty-one years ago)

SINUS INFECTION. Not a cold, a SINUS INFECTION. Maybe that's why he was so cranky in that quote because of the SINUS INFECTION.

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 7 May 2004 23:34 (twenty-one years ago)

do not believe his LIES

― John (jdahlem), Friday, 7 May 2004 23:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Bonds is going to protect his .400 by sitting out the rest of the year.

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Saturday, 8 May 2004 02:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Notice that it's taken Bonds longer to recover from this sinus infection than ones in years past. Hmmmm!!!!!

― mattbot (mattbot), Saturday, 8 May 2004 04:56 (twenty-one years ago)

it's the first time in 19 years he's been sidelined by a non-injury (or funeral proceedings).

― gygax! (gygax!), Saturday, 8 May 2004 05:27 (twenty-one years ago)

19 days, maybe? it was a big deal when he didn't sit a day game after a night game last week. (and maybe that can be excused because of his age, but i've still got to call you on it)

― John (jdahlem), Saturday, 8 May 2004 05:42 (twenty-one years ago)

SCHPILKUS, John. SCHPILKUS.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK:

"I ain't white. What world are you living in? I live in reality. They'd never let a black man get away with that.''

--Barry Bonds, asked last week about Roger Clemens' travel arrangement with the Astros. Clemens does not travel to Houston road games when he is not slated to pitch.

Editorial aside to Bonds (though I doubt Barry reads MMQB): This is a great example of why so many people dislike you. There's a bit of fundamental difference here, Barry. As an outfielder you're supposed to play most, if not, every day. Clemens is supposed to pitch every fourth or fifth day. If you were in his shoes, teams would line up to make you that offer. What an idiotic, racially divisive statement to make.

I also took issue with Bonds' sentiment, expressed last week, that many of his aches are due to all the intentional walks and regular walks he receives. "You're on your feet all day,'' he was quoted as saying in the New York Times. "I don't ever sit down. That's hard. It's a hard job.''

Stop it, Barry. I'm running out of Kleenex.

otm, right? but about this thread's original topic, he says:

"Get a life, everyone, on this Spider-Man 2 base-logo thing. This is where sports have been going for years, and it's going to happen, whether it's now or soon. I don't like logos on bases, but I'm not an owner who's indebted and trying to pay ballplayers' salaries either. How do those ads affect your enjoyment of the game, or the purity of the game? Not much. Baseball shouldn't have backed down."
FUCKYOUFUCKYOUFUCKYOUFUCYOUFUCKYOUFUCKYOUFUCKYOUFUCYOUFUCKYOUFUCKYOU

(i'm not an unsympathetic person, but when it comes to people with financial problems, indebted billionaires aren't exactly the strongest tug at the heartstrings)
