Whew, good news, cur.
I had asked about that at the LAST (less official) BSOHL posting, and got no response…

Go, Kopy – go forth and compile!

Am I missing something here ? Did someone report seeing him at Burger King 30 lbs overweight ?
If not this is a none story. He’s making 15 mill a year . the least he can do is stay in shape in the offseason .

Does this mean he’ll now be able to field his position?

Ahem, I am a lady. I “celebrate enthusiastically in your face.” A lady never gloats.

(my best Mae West impersonation) Aww, honey, my liver has great shape. Oooh.

Surely, you jest about not gloating? Shoot, that’s half the fun.

BSOML = Best Shape of My Liver?

I see you will drive me to drink then. Alright, let the training begin. I want to be in the BSOML for this — or rather, my liver. 104 days…

Oh, I do. I gloat a lot. And I’m not very subtle about it neither.

Would you say he’s just scum? Or that he is, in fact, rebel scum?

Wrong sport but Bryant McKinnie for the Vikes is a pretty good example.

Hmmm, I think you’ve been smoking too much of your offerings in celebration. Pace yourself; it’s a long season, my friend. (Don’t worry. I don’t gloat.)

an alcohol blackout. I gotta get off this stuff.

That’s what happens when you comment during a alcohol blackout, Craig.

Nah, we’ve had a couple already. I hope it picks up after the holidays!

Is this the first BSOHL of the off-season?

By: cur68

cur68 — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 01:04:54 +0000

They gonna need manziers then. In don’t think they have enough power in their present incarnation to cope with my boys.

By: cur68

cur68 — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 01:03:08 +0000

Kopy’s on the job. Just emailed him; he’s had ‘puter issues. He’ll have the the full list to date next BSOHL post.

The Giants (Sabean/Bochy) have said that about the Panda…though not as harsh as you have stated…but definitely stated how “out of shape” he is and that it needs to be corrected.

I think it’s well established the Detroit power runs on moobs.

Rizzo did say something like that once. He traded a pitcher because as he put it, “I got tired of watching him.” He took some bad PR for it, but he wasn’t wrong.

In that case, someone needs to ask Ned about Uribe.

Weaselling out, eh? When my boys pummel your boys it’ll be because your boys weren’t in shape. You should set an example.

I agree. I’ve never known how he got such a great reputation, considering how few championship winners he’s been with during his travels.

Just once I want to see a team exec, GM, manager, etc., say of a player, “He’s fat, slow, and in the worst shape of his career. Based on all those BSOHL guys who’ve stunk it up, I think this guy is going to be a monster this year.”

No, I picked Fielder. Fielder! I can’t give up cheesecake right now. After the holidays. That’s the ticket.

By: cur68

The funny thing is that his comment is still there. I replied to it and everything. So what he’s choosing to be is not only an ass but utterly wrong, too.

Miggy made the list last season. He had pictures and everything. I suggest, Miss, that if you wanna make the list we wanna see pictures.

By: historiophiliac

historiophiliac — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 22:46:02 +0000

For the record, if Miggy goes in, I am too!…wait, maybe that’s too much. How about: if Fielder goes in, so do I!
