Lenny Dykstra understands, Homer.

“It could have been misinterpreted that all of the athletes from the show have financial issues,

I haven't seen it, but I have a hard time believing they assert that ALL athletes have financial issues.

That isn't what Homer is saying.

Bush...was later traded for Roger Clemens

Well, kind of. He was about 20% of the total mass that went to Toronto for Clemens.

I see what you did there.

I watched it, and I got the impression he had gone through financial difficulty.

That aside, I found the whole thing rather boring. There weren't any revelations or compelling new stories. Half the time was spent on headlines about people not even involved in the doc, like Mike Tyson and Michael Vick. I guess if you never read one of the many articles on the subject it would be interesting, but I found nothing new. It probably would have been more interesting with a narrative focusing on one or two guys, broken up occasionally by other bits. Instead the whole thing came off as a bunch of unrelated anecdotes.

Homer Bush is 40?

So, the nanny only edits out odd-numbered #####?

That's just weird.

She is a fickle mistress.

Good for Bush; I always liked him. He couldn't do a lot of things for your ballclub*, but I liked him anyway.

Cons: no walks, no power, can't stay healthy

I confuse Homer Bailey with Homer Bush. True fact. Call it the law of the conservation of Homers.

My memory of Bush is that he was, easily, the fastest guy on the '98 Yankees. I think you may be somewhat underrating him as a base stealer.

Unrelated, I have this crystal clear memory--I mean, crystal clear, I can even remember where I was and everything--of watching Bush PR with the Yankees in a game they were down 1 to TB with Roberto Hernandez pitching, and he stole 2nd and 3rd, and then came around to score and the Yankees went on to win the game. But Game Logs would seem to say this indisputably did not happen. In fact, it appears that what I'm thinking is this game, which bears only vague resemblance to my memory.

I have no point here, by the way, I just needed to get that off my chest.

It says "No Homers". We can have one.

Bush's 2000 was one of the worst offensive seasons I've seen a Jays position player ever play. OPS+ of 33! I hated him ever since, even though I acknowledge he seemed like a pretty nice guy.

Bush is a charitable guy as well.

Cons: no walks, no power, can't stay wealthy. Did you guys see that new 30 for 30 special?

Yeah it happens. I pissed away all the millions the Red Sox paid me too...

Curt Shilling can tell you he wasted $50 million on a video game.

Make that, Bush 2000 was one of America's worst seasons of all time.
