fuck this guy

anyone who knows me knows that i've had a 15-20 year hatred of ripken. but you know what? this little snippet officially killed that...

(from espn.com)
Gwynn worried that he might get 100 percent.

"For the last month, I think, that's all I could think about, hoping that I didn't get near that number," he said. "We've never had one, and so I sure didn't want to be that guy who was closest."

what the fuck is that? gwynn was actually fucking concerned of being a unanimous electee into the HOF? what a dick.

i wish this fucker still played. talk about instand hatred. gwynn was absolutely off my radar for his entire career. the padres? come on. this prick was so goddam vanilla, its ridiculous. sure, he flirted with 400 a time or two, but shit....he didn't storm out of the dugout trying to kill an ump or fuck up the yanks a few years with upper deck bombs in the late 70s playoffs. this makes me much more proud to be a brett fan to see this gwynn shithead got less percentage than mr. pinetar did. goddamn it this is eating on me.

and the sad side effect to this is that it simply puts the headstone on my hatred for rip. i hated him while he played and played and played for the good of him and not the team. but after brady went, and cal himself went and i saw that fucking raffy run-pump train leave bmore, i kind of softened up on them. sure it was funny to see them try to spend money to still finish 4th in the division. but i started feeling sorry for them. and then i essentially leave baseball every april 26th when the royals are 20 games back. so i'm glad rip's in the hall now. maybe i won't have to hear about him again.

but i'm sure as hell going to revive that o's hatred if he takes over for angelos. that would be so delightful to see the ripken front office way fail.
