    it's funny he says "hardass" and "dick" when he means (in baseball terms) "redass"

    famous (and valuable) redasses:

    Lou Gehrig (oh yes he was)

    Jackie Robinson

    Frank Robinson

    Thurman Munson

    Ever notice how many tv show episode titles have the word "requiem" in them?

    The Stengel Yankees were loaded with them, most famously Hank Bauer, Gene Woodling, Vic Raschi and Allie Reynolds, and later Enos Slaughter. Ralph Houk was a redass with splinters from sitting on the bench, and Billy Martin was more like a thug.

    Red Sox fans I think maybe love Youkilis a little more than other teams love their version of this guy. Because the truth is, in 2004, when Youkilis debuted, Boston desperately needed a dick on their team…


    Was his colossal dickery already evident during his 72-game stint as a rookie in 2004 and I just missed it?

    Regardless, the Sox decided they didn't need it desperately enough for the ALCS or the World Series, but I'm sure the two at bats he got in the ALDS provided a certain dick aftertaste that could carry a club through an entire postseason.

    Did you know that Mozart died while he was writing Requiem?

    Did you know that Mozart died while he was writing Requiem?

    And did you know that Mozart went into a huge amount of debt because he was such a hopelessly bad billiards player?

    Seeing as that wasn't in the movie, of course not!

    You're quite the Bob Cobb

    Youk and A.J. on the same roster...a lot of redass on the South Side.

    Well Schur is right, I can't think of an ML player I hate more than Youk. Its mostly because of his "Watch me as I take a #### after being constipated for a week" batting stance.

    almost everybody on the old gas house gang was a redass.

    He was on the roster for both those series though right? I'm sure if he just spread boogers on bat handles and peed in the water cooler, that would be more than enough dickmosphere for a winning team.

    Is AJ really a redass? I thought he was more of a dick than a redass. I think of redasses as generally pretty humorless and angry on the field, while I imagine AJ as not so much humorless, but just mean-spirited.

    Yes for the WS, no for the ALCS.

    The Red Sox need a new redass? Do you know who's ass is so red it's downright magenta? Alfonso Soriano.

    The Cardinals redass is Carpenter, not sure I would qualify him as a dick. Aj is a dick through and through.

    I've always imagined Soriano as the anti-redass. (and don't the Red Sox need that more?)

    i do believe the gentleman is insinuating that mr. soriano is available.

    I think Ty Cobb was the ultimate red-ass although he would have been considered more psychotic had he played today. Albert "Joey" Belle was another one.

    Such is the beauty of the Great Alfonso -- he truly is all things to all people. He is whatever you wish him to be.* He is the karma chameleon.

    *We're Cub fans. We assume we won't get what we wish for. So we wish for stupid #### like mediocre OFs on huge contracts hoping the Gods screw up and give us somebody good. That's how we got Sandberg. Oh wait, that wasn't the gods, that was the Phillies.
