I have not for one moment ever blamed TP for anything that happened. For 2 1/2 years I raked, and TP was my hitting coach. Nobody said a thing.

And that's why I fly Delta Airlines. When I needed to get away, Delta was there, ready to take me to a city where it's okay to swing at everything.

That's Delta Airlines. They love to fly and it shows.

That implies every other article written seemed to be something positive. He should have been thrilled with that.

Oh, God help him if he reups with New York for a decent chunk of change and opens 2010 in the same fashion as 2009.

Yeah, the one thing that really stood out about Frenchy's time in Atlanta was the amount of negative press he was getting from the locals.

A: Oh, heck yeah, it’s a big transition, but it’s a lot of fun. [Citi Field] is sweet. The locker room is unbelievable. They have two chefs on-site full-time. They’ve got a steam room, sauna room, three hot tubs, two cold tubs. It’s really cool.

Q: Do people make fun of your accent?

A: Not bad. They all laugh because I drink sweet tea at the park. They’re making it now for a couple of the players.

What, they wouldn't make sweet tea just for Bobby Parnell? It took Francœur's star power for that to happen? This injustice will not stand, man.

You never "raked" Jeff.

God, how is this guy so popular? Unbearable.

Is that a delta?

9. SoSH U at work Posted: August 20, 2009 at 05:36 PM (#3299565)

Is that a delta?

And will you use it strictly in Frenchy threads?

It is pretty obvious, even without looking at the profile, who is behind it.

10. Shock Posted: August 20, 2009 at 05:40 PM (#3299572)

It is a delta. I originally had "French heart delta" but then found the heart wasn't working in IE.

It is pretty obvious, even without looking at the profile, who is behind it.

...really? I'm not Tripon...

I was afraid we wouldn't get to talk about Jeff Francoeur today.

12. Dr Love Posted: August 20, 2009 at 05:52 PM (#3299595)

Not bad for a country boy.

You're from the suburbs you dolt.

My favorite part...

I’m like, “Listen, I’m not going to go up there and walk 70 times a year. So you can either accept me for the player I am or go get somebody else.”

Of course that's exactly what they did.

And sweet tea is awesome.
