salparadise Posted May 31, 2008 Author Share Posted May 31, 2008 eirc hinske (his at bat song is walk by pantera) and edwin jackson (apparently some good pitcher) are doing the same thing at a rec center down the street today, too. DO I GET 3 AUTOGRAPHS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediocore Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 If you don't like baseball -- which it doesn't seem you do since you don't know much about these guys -- why go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyle Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 If you don't like baseball -- which it doesn't seem you do since you don't know much about these guys -- why go? Exactly. You're going to stand in a line for a while, then walk up to the guy sitting at a table. He'll smile, say hi, sign some random thing you have, say thanks and you'll walk away. That doesn't sound fun to me and I like baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
william Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Yeah. You should totally go. It will be a great time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goraiders Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 At the first A's game a couple years ago, they were getting blown out by the bluejays. I moved all the way up to the first row behind the bluejays dugout and eric hinskey threw a ball to me and my friends and we dropped it and someone else got it.

slymer Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Carlos Pena is a pretty good player, and had a monster year last season, but I don't understand why you're even contemplating it if you don't like baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insearchof Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 carlos pena (baseball player) is... probably waaay funnier than carlos mencia, make that, HAS to be funnier.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salparadise Posted May 31, 2008 Author Share Posted May 31, 2008 i like baseball, i don't know where anyone got that idea. i just don't know feel like being peter gammons about their stats and seasons. i thought it was funnier than it would be fun, i mean i went down the street and met/saw fergie, and i definitely don't like fergie. maybe he's an exceptional player, i don't know, i lost my boner for sports stars when dominik hasek retired and disconnected with sports for a bit in between. in that time every name i knew went away.

salparadise Posted May 31, 2008 Author Share Posted May 31, 2008 carlos pena (baseball player) is...probably waaay funnier than carlos mencia, make that, HAS to be funnier.. i hate carlos mencia, but not because he's not funny, cause 3 years ago i listened to a cd of his on a road trip (ive got a friend who has literally an entire car cd book full of comedy cds) and it wasn't bad. his show is awful, and not funny, his schtick is stupid. it's just bad, we all know that. but i hate carlos because when i say something about george lopez (whose stand-up i don't know about, but HIS show is A+) people think of carlos mencia, and tell me he's not funny.

mclz Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 1. i HATE carlos mencia and couldn't not care less if he died. 2. why would an mlb player do a signing at a checkers, unless in florida is some sports store named checkers cause by me its a fast food burger place.
