108386, Ok....Let's examine the black madness in baseball issue Posted by Orbit_Established, Thu Aug-08-13 08:33 PM
>Rickey was mad. Reggie was mad. Jackie? Good gosh >almighty.
Eh....Jackie wasn't as mad as Satchel and Satchel was only able to play in the MLB past the age of 40, when he was too old to be mad
If Satchel had been brought up at 21, he woulda been the best pitcher in baseball by about a mile, but would have critically injured at least 12 batters by bean balls and choked a few more to near death
LOL @ white people calling Satchel NAMES from the dugout and him just putting up with it like Jackie
bwahaha nah
Wouldn't happen
White people would have been SERIOUSLY MAIMED or KILLED
Branch Rickey wasn't no fool
>Clemente? Aaron? JR Richards? Dave Stewart?
Clemente wasn't mad, had that latin happiness, prolly cuz he didn't understand English and so didn't hear half the shit white people were saying....he just smiled, and threw that ball real real real well from right field (among other things, of course)
Aaron was mad after he stopped playing, was definitely not while he played....if he was mad, he woulda dropped them two white hippies who followed him around them bases (glad he didn't, that was awesome)
Dave Stewart was DEFINITELY mad, like all the time, I'll give you that
LOL @ him COMPLETELY SCARING the shit out of Clemens...Clemens couldn't pitch AT ALL when he faced Stew
So this is a mixed bag....baseball writers are too racist and the fans too white and snobby; being mad WILL get under your skin and fuck up your game, make you injury prone or some shit
Sheffield might be my favorite hitter ever...but he started to slide when he started getting REAL REAL mad (around Yankees time)
Bobby Bonilla? Got mad, started sucking
Carl Everett? Got mad, started sucking
Milton Bradley? LOL. His black madness LITERALLY made his knee fall apart...and now dude is a wife beater going to JAIL
Delmon Young went on a racist tirade against Jews...too mad
LOTS of talented black players went by the mad wayside
Let's compare this to the Barry Larkins...the Ozzies.... Jeters....oh look at pre-Cincy Griffey...he went to Cincy and got mad, and was TOAST....Frank Thomas started to get mad and it fucked up his swag for a sec...he calmed down and was good....
So being a CALM nigga always pays in baseball....oh and look at Tony Gwynn...niggas sleep on Gywnn being a cali nigga on some quasi-hood shit...nigga could hoop and everything....but he wasn't mad...need I say more about where that got him?
Torii Hunter quietly has the ingredients of a mad nigga but has kept it under wraps save for a couple of tirades...he has a long career in a front office after he's done playing because of it...white people LOVE Hunter
Look at CC....CC is already near Hall of Fame caliber, btw.. ...he struggling now, but no starting pitcher not named Clemens has weathered the NY media better than CC in a quarter century... he's a big, fat lovable nigga...and he a bay area nigga so you KNOW he's low key mad underneath that fat...he just keep his fade tight and his smile bright en route to Cooperstown
Shit...Matt Kemp got mad after the RACIST WHITE MEDIA robbed him of that Ryan Braun MVP...he hasn't been as good since.
Also note that Hanley Ramirez was a god early, started getting mad, then fell off....now he back in LA being a fun loving nigga again and is balling
Note how Pedro's arm problems started after the Barry Zito Cy Young meltdown...I'm telling you, keep that mad to a min
