Baltimore Orioles outfielder Luke Scott went into Major League Baseball’s offseason winter meetings with a .902 OPS on the year and, it turns out, a deep distrust of that Kenyan socialist Barack Obama. “He was not born here,” said the man best known for hitting a leather-wrapped ball of cork and wool, not so much for the spirit of intellectual discovery he picked up in his two years at Oklahoma State. “That’s my belief. I was born here. If someone accuses me of not being born here, I can go — within 10 minutes — to my filing cabinet and I can pick up my real birth certificate and I can go, ‘See? Look! Here it is. Here it is.’ The man has dodged everything. He dodges questions, he doesn’t answer anything. And why? Because he’s hiding something.” But the Orioles have distanced themselves from this statement. And why? Because they’re hiding something.
“Luke Scott’s comments do not reflect the opinion of the Baltimore Orioles organization,” team spokesman Greg Bader said Wednesday in an e-mail. “The fact is that Barack Obama is our President, duly elected by the people of the United States. End of story.”
Hmm, they sure don’t address the BIRTH CERTIFICATE in this statement. The Orioles talk like they have that document hidden in a secret box in the manager’s office where Luke Scott can get to it, but they don’t.
More from left field:
Obama does not represent America. Nor does he represent anything what our forefathers stood for. This country is basically built on an attitude. It’s a way of life. It’s not because you’re born here. It’s not that you’re supposed to take from those who have and give to those who haven’t. That kills a country. It killed Russia.
I have friends of mine who are in the ministry who [work] in churches in Russia. If they can describe [the country] in one [phrase], it’s “messed up beyond repair.”
That’s what communism does.
Also, Luke Scott says he would never compromise on anything, because that’s not what true leaders do. Also, he’s a trade chip and could bring his Teabagger services to your favorite team, provided that team allows him to exercise his Second Amendment rights on the field. (RE-SIGN MAGGLIO, TIGERS. PLEASE.) [WP/Yahoo! Sports]

$10 an hour is as much as a grown man should be paid to hit a ball with a stick.
I like baseball a lot. It's a joy to watch the truly great among them play their silly little kids' game, so I'll disagree with your $10/hr salary cap.
But anyone who asserts that baseball players are somehow inherently smarter than footballers need look no further than this tool to to lose that notion forever.
I'm with you. That way, only people who love the game with all their hearts would play, and it would be a more interesting game.
Watching Luke Scott play, I think he can be an authority on taking unearned money.
Ask him how he feels about having to play in NYC?
Keep on Rockin' me, baby. Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby…
On his baseball card, it says John Rocker is his favorite player.
Damn, I had no idea that "Eastbound and Down" was based on a current major leaguer.
I think this is more "Eastbound & Downs"
I'm Kenny Fucking Powers and I'll strike this dipshit out on one fucking pitch!
Look up Todd Jones (former Detroit Tiger closer, among other teams). I'll give you a Google head-start: "Todd Jones" & "anti-homosexual".
"I have friends of mine who are in the ministry"
Quelle surprise!
Big deal. I have friends of mine who are in the Nine Inch Nails.
Made me laugh out loud. Thanks.
maybe he was referring to a *different* kind of ministry?
Ministry of Silly Walks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqhlQfXUk7w
Ask Scott how he feels about baseball statistical categories. I'm pretty sure he's pro-WHIP and anti-ERA.
I have friends of mine who are in the ministry who [work] in churches in Russia. If they can describe [the country] in one [phrase], it’s “messed up beyond repair.”
That’s what communism does.
No, actually that's what unbridled Captialism and Kleptocracy running amok does. And that's what asshats like you think this country should embrace.
I keep going over those two paragraphs, but I can't make sense of them. I feel like it was translated, using Babelfish, from English to Finnish to Spanish and then back to English again.
No kidding. Survey some of the non-religious/non-rich in Russia (i.e., most people) and see how many would like the Soviets back.
Oh but that's the dirty little secret: as Galbreath said, Marx grew up in a time when a just society would provide you with simple clothes, employment, and a humble home to live in. He then devised a system that delivered just that, and not much more.
Marx didn't devise the Soviet Union. He died 35 years before it was founded. In fact, Marx's work is all about what's wrong with capitalism, and very short on details about what the alternative might be (which is why he's still a powerful read today).
Scott went on to say, "The certificate also plainly states who my mother/sister and father/grandfather are. PLAIN AS DAY."
Only says who his presumptive or alleged father is. No proof that he's the actual progenitor, which is the whole problem with male-based genealogy.
Luke. I am not your father, Luke.
Anakin, you ARE the father.
** Padme jumps up triumphantly, strutting across the stage grabbing her crotch**
But can you get the governor to attest to its authenticity? I think Obama's gone the extra mile on that one.
so his mother is also his sister, and his father is also his grandfather, or something ?
i am confused….
I'm guessing he's always had to wear a helmet.
I'm guessing that he didn't wear it enough!
You beat me to this one. Must have taken one too many rocks to the head playing in sandlot kids with the rest of the poor kids who couldn't afford a ball.
I love baseball but fuckers like these deserve a major beaning. One of the few decent ones was Dennis Eckersley. When Clinton raised taxes on the wealthy, SI did a story on all the major leaguers complaining. Eck said, rich people have all the money, so we should be paying the taxes, or something like that.
Oh, yeah. Driver of the short bus probably wouldn't let his sister/mom load him up without it.
Anyone who has nothing but admiration for Ted Nugent, and the statement has nothing to do with The Nuge's music, well, you pretty much know to brace yourself for teh stoopid…
Sorry dumbass…the US was better able to waste a shitload of money on the military than Russia.
I agree with Chascates…$10/hour is all asshats like this asshat deserve.
Better able to borrow a shit load of money, is what I think you meant to say.
"Methinks he doth…" – Yeah, come to think of it, show me your fucking birth certificate, asshole. Let's see how the scrap of paper they give out De Leon Springs stands up to the scrutiny of the experts over at World Net Daily. We'll SEE whose ass ends up in the Venezuelan Winter League.
And it better fucking be your REAL birth certificate, LONG FORM, not the one-sheet POS that doesn't list the doctor, hospital, time, and three generations of parentage, also. And don't try to pull anything like emailing me a photograph or scan of it, either- we know those things can be doctored, so I'm going to need you to mail me the original, and also your social security number and PIN number, you know, to cross-reference. And if you cared about America, you would do this this instant, so that we don't have to suffer the uncertainty of wondering whether you're an illegal immigrant.
Obama did it. His original long form birth certificate is being passed around the country, one person at a time, so that everyone can see the proof – and not a copy either. That's why the controversy lives. It takes a long time to pass a single piece of paper around to 300 million + people. The remaining brithers are just a bit further down the line, it will get to them eventually.
And there's always those people who forget where they put the damn thing then find it again in a few months. If everyone would just take a look and hand it off again we could wrap this controversy up by next August, tops.
And, of course, we want it in a plastic bag.
Yeah, it would have been sort of awesome if anyone listening had been, like, "Alright, fucker, you have ten minutes to show me that certificate, or you're an illegal Mexican."
"messed up beyond repair" does not define russia. it defines master luke's rational capacity.
left field he plays?
First, Luke I am not your father. Now Yoda talk. Is there some kind of Star Wars fanfic going on in here?
It's right field from his point of view.
Statement One: Barack Obama is not an American because he was not born here.
Statement Two: You don't have to be born in America to be American because it is an attuitude and way of life.
…
This is going to be on the LSAT on Saturday, isn't it?
Yes, under the new section called "Illogical Games."
Speaking of LSAT, back in the 90s when I followed baseball in great detail, I think I recall a story about the new owner of the Orioles (at that time. I have no idea who owns them now) when they got the new stadium and were winning. I remember the owner because he made part of his money as a labor lawyer. If it's the same guy, I'm guessing he's not at all please with this.
actually real Americans only have to prove one of their parents was an American citizen at the time of birth, no matter where it takes place (see John McCain/ Panama) wheras a REAL 'Merkan is an ATTITUDE! (of extreme ignorance and the unwavering belief that the founding fathers only meant for white Xtain males to be citizens…oh and TRUCKNUTZ!) ALSO
Alt-text FTW. Sums it up, it does.
I don't know. He looks kinda hispanic to me.
To be safe, he'd better bring that birf certificate with him if he plays in AZ.
Yeah, but Luke Scott? Whitest cracka name evah.
Related to Dred Scott?
I'm not up on all my arcane sports acronyms. Is OPS the Obama Paranoid Scale?
That's a typo. It's supposed to be PoS.
True that, but it's really On Base Plus slugging percentage.
On-base plus slugging (OPS) is a sabermetric baseball statistic calculated as the sum of a player's on-base percentage and slugging percentage. The ability of a player to both get on base and to hit for power, two important hitting skills, are represented. An OPS of .900 or higher in Major League Baseball puts the player in the upper echelon of hitters. Typically, the league leader in OPS will score near, and sometimes above, the 1.000 mark.
How much you want to bet the managers have to tell him what his stats are, that he's incapable of figuring them out himself.
Sorry, but I need to see his long form stats, not something printed in a newspaper.
Good thing for him our country is built on "attitude" and not "intelligence."
The computer was the worst thing that ever happened to baseball.
"The righty batter on-deck has a .900 slugging average when hitting against lefty junkballers in afternoon games west of the continental divide when the moon is quarter full and the sun is temporarily hidden by a cloud."
s/b POE: Purity of Essence or Peace on Earth
Great. Now I know what OPS and POE are, but I don't know what the fuck s/b is.
Obama does not represent America. Nor does he represent anything what our forefathers stood for. Seeing as they were all white and all..
I'm so sick of this fucking dog-whistling. Fuck you, jock. We libs would rather be mad at our President for caving to greedy wingnut thugs without having to defend him further from racist assholes like you.
But Mr. Ballplayer, how do you know your birf certificate is real and not a phony too? Can you even REMEMBER being born?! I bet not. Sorry, that makes you a Kenyan socialist too.
I assumed that the Red Sox had copyrighted the term "Idiots" after the 2004 season. Apparently that was not the case.
Would you be refertting to Curt Schilling? I used to love him, when he was with the Phillies. But now I know that he is a total asshole. I hate these spoiled, overpaid brats.
umm Luke, its a "Bird Certificate", you should know this being an Oriel.
Marge Schott would be proud.
Oriel? And home runs are called "taters." And the Queen Birfer is Oriel Taterz! IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!
Andy Purple Martin!
Alan Turkeyes!
OH GOD.
Phillip J. BIRD!
Birds evolved from reptiles… Lizard People -> Bird People.
We're screwed.
I didn't even know Fox had a baseball team.
Don't give Rupe any ideas–Disney owned the NHL Ducks for 12 years.
News Corp used to own the Dodgers but sold out back in 2004, but with this new player attitude it may make owning a baseball team attractive for News Corp again.
Rule Number One: keep your eye on the ball.
Rule Number Two: keep your mouth on the other one.
Communism ruined Russia, because life for the regular people there was just sooo great under the Tsars, that's why the peasants killed the royal family.
The other day I was reading some wingnut blog, and some moran spelled it "zars." I wish I was making that up.
It is only further evidence of the complete lack of intellect and education of our wingnut brethren. We should work to find jobs for these people shoveling shit some place to keep them away from computers.
elitist!
"This country is basically built on an attitude." Well, that and cheap/free labor.
huzzah, luke scott. as if the Orioles needed some ignorant hayseed to make the once-proud organization a laughingstock.
Not in baseball. The players union is quite adept at redistributing the owners's wealth (from tix sales, television contracts, etc.).
And that attitude was "if you're not white, we'll just take what we want" – I'm pretty sure Johnny-com-early natives and free-passage-to-the-New World Africans would attest to that. What do you – this country was built on an attitude.
No, you are an idiot, Luke. This country was built on the most cutting edged political philosophy of the day as understood by some of the most well educated and elite people in the colonies. It's not the Ten Commandments, stupid, nor rugged individualism. It's intellect that built America.
And you people are chipping away at it. The founders and framers are weeping.
BTW–They would have loved the estate tax. Those guys didn't go through what they did and work as hard as they did and gamble everything on a new, completely experimental governmental system only to have the aristocracy reinvented as rich jerks.
Are rich people less unbearable in corseted gowns, powdered wigs and satin knee-breeches?
Possibly. It looks really nice in the movies and on "Masterpiece Theater." They never show 'em using their chamberpots, though, or dying of cholera at 35.
Oh, Piss Boy! Wait for the shake.
Is it Scott Luke or Luke Scott? "You might be a redneck if…"
The Birfer So Nice They Named Him Twice.
I don’t watch baseball cause it’s slow and boring much like Luke.
Luke Scott, you stupid douchecunt, have you seen China? That's also what communism does. Especially when the biggest retardate neocon in history, George W. Bush, borrows trillions of dollars from said communists to pay a bunch of two-faced, greedy contractors – because, you know, the private industry will save us all if we just let it – to run a big fucking stupid circle jerk, bankrupting all of us, all in the name of a quixotic crusade to spread "democracy."
You stupid fucking shithead. You stupid fucking shithead who plays a game people only watch so they have something to do between sips of beer, on a team that is just utter crap, and still gets paid millions of dollars to do it.
If people stopped drinking beer, they would (1) piss less and (2) help bring about chascades-recommended pay rates for baseball players.
Wait for the shake, Boy!
It's ironic that a game that is so beautiful and historic it inspires people like Roger Angell to write the loveliest prose, ever, about an athletic activity is played by dipshit moronic millionnaires like this and run by asshole millionaires.
Oh fuck, this can only mean the Os are going to trade Scott to the C'Addled Ms. Prob'ly for Felix Hernandez straight up.
….fuck, fuck, mumble, fuck, fuck, grumble…..
No, no. The M's are no longer under the thrall of Bill Bavasi, so it won't something as boneheaded as a Scott-Hernandez trade.
Hey – d'you think the O's would like to try on Milton Bradley for size? I'd take Scott for him and buttloads of Nintendo Dollars, and hold my nose (just like I held my nose for Bradley/Silva trade.) Naw, I'm just kidding. Like I'm going to sit there with my beer and peanuts hollering, "HIT A DINGER, YOU RACSIST ASSHOLE!!!
Getting rid of Bradley was the best move the Cubs ever made. First off, Milton, us Bleacher Bums weren't yelling at you because you are black, it's because you suck.
Who ever heard of blowing out an ACL, arguing an umpire's call?
And Silva turned into an OK pitcher for awhile in Chi, whereas he steadfastly refused to win a game in Seattle.
Well fuck me, I must be a Muslin Kenyan Communist Islamofascist because fuck-all if I know where my birth certificate is. Hell, the last time I saw it was when I got my passport, and I had to deal with all kinds of crap just because I was never given a first name.
If I'm a secret sleeper agent, could someone give me my coded instructions? And let me know whom I should be sleeping with? And left-out guy?- thanks for giving me another reason not to watch America's chaw and nutscratcher pastime. If it weren't for the occasional fights and the hope that the pitcher'll nail one of you guys in the head with a fastball, golf would be a more exciting spectator sport. I get more of a rush out of watching a good curling match than watching you stickballers…
I don't know where mine is either which is why I'm not running for president.
I'm pretty sure I know where mine is, which is fortunate b/c Illegal Immigrant Paranoia etc coupled with my letting my driver's license expire means that I have to take five documents to the VA DMV for the new license
Five? How the fuck do you come up with five?
With a birth certificate without a first name on it, I had to bring 5 or so supporting documents to go with the birth certificate to prove that I now have a first name:
1. Old loan application
2. College transcripts
3. CA driver's license
4. DD-214
5. Social Security card
Of course, this was for a passport, not a DL, and really didn't prove anything about my birth certificate, other than that I had a certified copy and I also had some other documents. Damn. Maybe I AM an illegal.
This is per the website, which informed me that I must bring
Old drivers license
marriage license
Social Security card
some kind of bill with the name and address
fuck if I remember the last one, but there is one.
UPDATE: I need my birth certificate. I KNEW I was supposed to fly for Kenya for something!!!!!
When I moved to NJ I had to get a copy of my birf certificate to get a driver's license. It's got shit-all on it. My name, D.O.B., city, and maybe my parents name, I can't even remember. That's it, and plus the raised seal of the City of NY.
This shit makes me crazy. I did need to know the name of the hospital I was born in to get the damn thing over the Internet, but it doesn't say it on the b.c. God, I hate these people.
they didn't cotton to just putting "natoslug" on there, huh? you should change your name to captain awesome. oh, and luke? until i see you in a pair of daisy dukes snorting cocaine off a rent boy's ass i don't want to hear anything about you.
John has a long mustache.
The chair is against the wall. I repeat, the chair is against the wall!
I will turn to baseball players for political commentary when I look to my elected representatives for amazing displays of physical strength and agility. (Read: never.)
Only Masters of the Martial Arts will suffice when I need political inspiration and lunacy!
The fact that this dumb fuck loves Uncle Ted ought to be all anyone needs to know about his neural prowess. What a canard!
If he was any good with a stick, he'd be a pimp.
This is Gospel, people.
Repent!

Someone here — promise me now. When the time comes that dumb fucks like this are actually put in charge of deciding who is and isn't an American, kill me, OK?
How about instead I promise to lend you a rifle and help you institute a regime change if someone like this is put in charge of deciding who is and isn't an American?
At that point, they will take care of you themselves.

J C (that's for "Julius Caesar") Watts, running back and one-time OK congresscritter
Tom Osborne, Nebraska coach and 3-term congressguy
Steve Largent, Seahawk WR and right-wing nutj-ob congressdude from OK
By the barest stroke of bizarre luck, Largent said two curse words while the mike was on, a third party candidate who was going to fund everything in the state with the lottery (no taxes! free college tuition!) siphoned off the stupid vote and Brad Henry, the Dem, who campaigned with Barry Switzer by his side and picked up the chicken fighting vote won the election by 6,000 votes. Oh, and the Independent attacked Largent viciously. Like a fighting cock, I suppose one could say.
That was AFTER Steve Largent was crowned, nay, haloed by the Republithugs and practically being called guv-elect.
The real answer for Democrats to win in southern states is to find an over the top nut job who hates RINOS and finance his campaign. In fact, it is the only way to elect Democrats in the Idiot Belt.
The chicken-torturer was the Dem? Ah, Oklahoma….
It also deserves noting, this man is part of a pretty powerful socialist marxist maoist players union that has set the minimum wage for these guys to be 400K. And the lack of any such negotiating structure would make damn sure Albert Pujols got his own personal harem each year and guys like Luke would never see the … are you kidding me … 4 mil he saw last year. http://www.baseball-almanac.com/players/player.ph...
Meanwhile, unbridled capitalism has let the Red Sox and the Yankees "kill" baseball, making sure the O's and the asshats they employ never see a pennant ever. If his ministry friends ever took in a game at Camden Yards, they'd see this, too. And everyone watches communist salary capped football.
/Bring back Earl Weaver.
and guys like Luke would never see the … are you kidding me … 4 mil he saw last year.
Thats the saddest part… the guy's actually a really good player. Kids look up to him and stuff.
Then he opens his mouth.
The HGH obviously didn't work on his brain.
is Luke a free agent?
Free radical, maybe.
He can find his in 10 minutes, I can google Obama's birth certificate in 10 seconds and see it, dipshit.
Nothing what this guy says makes no sense nohow. All the brain cells what he got wouldn't fill no thimble. He apparently done forgot everything what he was taught about our forefathers. I bet he laughs every time what he sees him some trucknutz, or a Bigmouth Billy Bass.
Them Messicans up and done rurned are country too cause they refuse to learn English.
Love how the editors of yahoo sports put a picture of his "Certificate of Live Birth" (which is what the only thing i have says as well)
Gotta work on the Fenway chants for next season.
He's From Ken-ya clap clap clapclapclap
Thumbs up!
We want a batter, not a stupid racist idiot cracker.
Or maybe a riff on the Daaa-rrryyyllll from the Strawberry days:
Biiiirrtttthhh-eeerrrrr
Maybe the people in the bleachers can throw aborted fetuses at Luke as he runs out to the outfield?
Well, this assures that Cliff Lee won't be coming to Texas – a Refucklican like Nolan Ryan will certainly blow his whole load on a birther fucker like this, for sure.
The State of Maryland coughed up about $200 million to build little Luke's team a baseball stadium. In addition to building the stadium, the Maryland Stadium Authority pays for upkeep on the stadium. Luke – that is socialism American style. Every time you drag your ignorant ass out onto that field to play baseball, you are shoving your snout into the public trough.
Ya lost me at Oklahoma State
hey, he went for 2 years. it's hard!
I didn't read the article about him. He went to Silo Tech? It figures.
Yeah, I think the Diamondbacks already instituted this rule, but the league should require all MLB players to carry their papers at all times.
Finish the danged fence, Luke.
The Orioles have also successfully distanced themselves from the playoffs for 13 years.
Maybe he's just pissed because Barry's a White Sox fan.
That's why Major League Baseball has outlawed beaning. It causes brain damage.
Here's hoping David Price ignores that and puts one in Scott's ear the first time he sees Luke standin' in the box.
Screw MLB, I subscribe to the Don Drysdale approach to pitching – 154 hit batters, the NL record. Don't be up there battin' if you're not willing to get hit. With my stubby little arms had to lean in to cover the plate & that meant more than a few free passes to first base and hardball hickies to show-off on the bus back to school. Good times….
And the FANS will distance themselves from the Orioles, about mid-season when they begin to tank. Again.
(Five losing seasons in a row and the locker room prick wants to tell us something about the president. "Shut up and sing…"-Laura Ingraham)
Mid-season? The Orioles were eliminated from next season's playoffs in August.
The Orioles were once one of the best teams in baseball. And now, they are going to be best known as the team of this retard. What's next? Is Angelos going to sign Trig?
He's an Oriole, huh? Where's your Bird Certificate, Mr. Oriole?
I don't know anything about baseball. Is there any way for all the black members of the team to "accidentally" beat him with baseball bats?
I don't watch much baseball, except in cases of insomnia when there is no golf on the tv, but in my cursory inspection it appears there are a lot of usurper types in this sport. Birdman, here, must be popular going around the locker room screaming, hey Jose, if that really is your name, where's the papers, muchacho?
Fucking Teaballer…

My barber once told me that he did not believe Obama was a U.S. citizen. He said he had no proof of weather or not he was a citizen but he just wanted to believe he wasn't. People with an attitude like his would not believe it if you showed them a video of Barack's dad catching him as he came out of his mothers womb with hula dancers and Diamondhead in the background.
STAGED, ALL STAGED.
Also, Hawaii isn't in America smartypants. Plus his father was a British citizen so Barak HUSSEIN Obama is British. Oh, and my head is full of pork rinds where my brain should be. Tweedly deedly bloop blorp.
That's the whole point. They just want to be angry for the sake of being angry.
I KNEW Luke Scott reminded me of someone or something, standing at the plate with that club on his shoulder. Only now (when he opens his mouth) do I put 2+2* together with the image of him slogging around the bases, knuckles dragging on the ground.
Go Captain Caveman!
*Also, Luke Scott is still working on the solution to 2+2 from his ACT.
is there a box for "reborn self-righteous ass hat"?
"Obama does not represent America. Nor does he represent anything what our forefathers stood for."
Um, not to pick nits, but that sounds like Spanish grammar right there. In most dialects of American English, we say, "Nor does he represent anything THAT our forefathers stood for."
I'm not saying that Luke Scott was born Lucas Jesus Maria Guadalupe Cortez de Sueno, but I'm not saying that he wasn't either.
Until he proves that he wasn't born Lucas Jesus Maria Guadalupe Cortez de Sueno (thank you, copy and paste) then I think he needs to be held by la migra for possible expulsion from the country.
He's not Black enough to be from the Dominican.
I don't know, man. He looks a little Asian, to me…
Patiently waiting for the Palin tweet defending Luke. Since Luke is like a chapter in the like bible and everything. You know this guy was sent here by the great and awesome Oz, ooops, I mean Jeebus. Only Jeebus can send people with names like Luke to do good in the left of field..
This is why the Red Sox signed Arturo Ecclesiastes and Phil Deuteronomy in the off season.
This may help clear a few things up: FYI
Luke Brandon Scott was named after the three men that MAY have fathered him.
Luke Scott's birf certificate is a phony. No Governor or State Health Secretary has ever confirmed the birth of Luke Scott within the United States or attested to the validity of that paper that Luke Scott has.
How do we know Luke Scott is not a Hispanic Muslim Terrorist involved in the recent attempt to blow up a recruiting office in Baltimore. Luke Scott should be banned from any game in Baltimore until we know our recruiting offices are safe!
Unfortunately Luke here does represent everything right wing America stands for: being a willfully ignorant asshat.
Yet they always seem to know what our forefathers stood for, and by a strange coincidence, it's exactly what the RWNJs stand for!
When you watch sports, you often see beautiful things: a pitcher outsmarting a batter in a 15-pitch at-bat, a wide receiver making an unbelievable catch running full speed and stride-for-stride down the sideline with the defensive back, Michael Jordan deciding to change hands on a shot while in mid-air on his way to the basket. (And of course there are many beautiful "things" to see in figure skating.)
But why would anyone think that, because these people have such physical gifts to start with, and the determination to develop them and use them wel,l and stay in shape and not succumb to hookers'n'blow — why would anyone think these people know anything about politics?
Maybe because they're sportswriters.
The figure skating reference reminded me of my crush on Dorthy Hamill. Still think she is adorable
This jackass got $4 million last year for playing baseball (or more accurately, half-baseball, since he was mainly DH).
Maybe that's why he thinks anybody gives a flying fuck about his opinion.
What is this DH, Dumb Hick, is every team required to have one?
Separately, All-Star First Baseman Albert Pujols called out Senator John McCain as "an illegal politician born in Panama, not doing enough to keep these aliens out of America." Pujols himself has recently come under fire for hiring several out-of-work white tech workers 'off the books' as housekeepers for his enormous St. Louis mansion. When alerted to the news, Tony LaRussa turned around and went back into the bar.
If he was from the Dominican Republic, it would be fake.
Sounds like Luke Scott has some Freudian issues. "He's was not born here! I was born here. I have a birth certificate, he does not. ! I was definitely born here, i have my long form! I'm confident that I was born here and my daddy NEVER touched my butthole. "
Has anyone pointed out to this dipshit that his and practically every other stadium they play in was built with socialist money? And ALL of them get incredibly giant subsidies and breaks from the taxpayers.
It's not talent nor the "Murikan Attitude" that supports these assholes. It's taxpayer money. they don't play for the fans–they play for the millionaires.
Didn't stay late for classes did'ja Luke.
Guns and religion, wrapped.
fucking asshole
Excellent point. Have we checked (formerly) Hopey's birf certificate to find out if he was Live Born? He could be a zombie, you know.
Is there a box three?
3. Formerly Born
I would like to take this opportunity to state categorically that Mr. Scott's remarks are in no way reflective of the views of the Avian-American community.
First he complains that Obama wasn't born here, then he whines that it's "not because yuo are born here." Just can't please some people!
Noting Mr. Luke and I'm surprised nobody mentioned John Rocker, I'm absolutely not surprised.
As a former sports writer, I can tell you I made it a point to talk to baseball players about baseball. Anything beyond the lines of baseball is foul, absolutely foul.
Actually, this is the most action ever from baseball. Seriously, can we just get rid of this inert anachronism? Perhaps Little Georgie Will can find something else to stir his manhood.
When the company that pays your salary takes the opportunity to distance themselves from something you've said, you probably should make sure that your resume is up to date.
Oh Jack Stuef, you won my heart with your picture of The Kid taking down Youkilis, and now tha Magglio love. If I wasn't old enough to be your mother (or if we lived in Alaska)…
What? No one else is going to say it … ?
Swing … and a miss.
I'm really tired of these crazy birthers. We need to find something else for them to be outraged about.
If someone accuses me of not being born here, I can go — within 10 minutes — to my filing cabinet
Hey asshole! I accuse you of not being born here! Now go run to your filing cabinet. I'll be waiting.
Anyone else wanna play; it's fun. Form a line behind me and we can keep him busy all day.
Wow with a .902 OPS I'll let him say whatever he wants.
Hey Luke – STFU.
As if George Will loving baseball wasn't all by itself reason alone to hate the game.
One of Scott's other amusing statements, "I'm a big fan of Ted Nugent because he's a 'keep it real' type of guy. He respects wildlife, he loves to hunt. I look at Ted Nugent and … he's an American. He has the core beliefs of what it means to be an American in his heart. He lives by those beliefs and those principles. It's the same beliefs that our forefathers, who fought for our country, have. I'd be real interested in meeting him one day."
Most of us demonstrate our respect for something by dusting it with a Seven Mag, don't we? As for those forefathers, I find it hard to believe the Star Spangled Banner would be our national anthem had they only heard Cat Scratch Fever. And then there's the part where The Nooge adopted a 17-year-old he wanted to fuck legally. The Founders would have been down with that, too, 17 being 35 in founder years. Constitution! Fuck, yeah!
Meth is a helluva drug, is all I'll say about this. DeLeon Springs, eh? That's in the Mississippi part of Flordia, right?
Yo know, I was never a huge fan of Obama (certainly not a fanboy), but I have yet to get used to this shit about his origins. It's just SO fucking insane. You'd think these white folks would try to couch their racism in more subtle terms. You know, the typical shit like denigrating him as a "community organizer" or refering to him as "very, very urban."
It's like they are trying to deny him a legitimate existence, like he's some kind of phantasm. You know, you can see it, but it's not physically there.
Here are some more stats for sports, politics fans.
Obama won Baltimore with 87% of the vote in 2008.
The Orioles suck and ranked 24th out of 30 teams in attendance last year.
You would think a red-blooded,capitalist freedom-loving American like Luke Scott would have better business sense.
