Crowdsourcing the Greats: The Top Second Basemen of All Time
I can’t say I’m surprised, considering it’s the BWAA, but still, when it came down to it, I was actually pretty sure that Roberto Alomar was going to get into the Hall on his first ballot, if only because he obviously deserves to be in and because the ballot was so thin this year, at [...]

Crowdsourcing the Greats: The Top 10 Shortstops of All Time
Recently, as I was writing my post on why Barry Larkin deserves to be a first-ballot hall-of-famer, I got to wondering who the top 10 shortstops of all time are. In order to get an answer, I decided to crowdsource my question to the internet!
What I did was I went to Google and looked up [...]

Annual UmpBump Hall of Fame Balloting: 2010 Edition
This year UmpBump continues its annual tradition of honoring the greats by casting our vote for who we think deserves to be enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame. As always, we vote not just on players currently eligible for Hall of Fame voting under baseball’s arcane eligibility rules, but for any and all [...]

Barry Larkin should go into the Hall on the first ballot (although he probably won’t)
To my mind Barry Larkin is a stone cold lock for the Hall of Fame, even though there are probably enough people with short memories or who are just not paying attention among the BWAA to insure that he doesn’t get in this year.
Larkin had the complete package. An outstanding hitter with an .815 career [...]

“I Throw the Damn Thing as Hard as I Can”
Well, now, that’s just good ol’ Texas logic.

This contest was rigged from the start. Sarah = East German judge.
Josh Beckett wins? Let’s take a second look.
Beckett is on the cover of Men’s Fitness. Meanwhile, in the real world, HE’S ON THE DL! Why? Because his back hurts. Why does his back hurt? Probably from carrying around that beer gut he developed over the offseason.
Also, that shirt/chain combo is horrible. If you’ve got a beer gut, you can’t wear spandex. Period. Look how hard Becks is trying to suck in his gut — and it’s just not enough!
Beckett’s cover shot says, “we airbrushed and tanned him and we still couldn’t hide the fact that he’s fat and has TERRIBLE taste is fashion.”
Contrast that to A-Rod’s cover. Beckett and Jeter get cut off at the waist. Not A-Rod. We get all of him. And he’s all-natural, regardless of what Mr. Jose Canseco might say. I mean, look at this cover! Natural light. Natural quadriceps. Natural biceps. You want to see some balls that aren’t shrunken by steroids? We’ve got ‘em right here. You can’t miss ‘em!
I say A-Rod wins, in a landslide.

Coley, even if you actually like the prominent display of A-Rod’s junk, as you seem to be intimating you do, there’s still his sourpuss little face! Not to mention the indisputable fact that he is on Men’s Vogue, a publication that should never have been invented.
If I were handing out grades, I’d say Beckett gets an A for his lettin’ it all hang out cover. He doesn’t look good, but he also doesn’t give a sh*t. Plus, he throws the damn thing as hard as he can! Jeter gets an A-, largely because of the Men’s Health editors and their stupid “clutch” headline. But A-Rod gets a D. He couldn’t look like more of a tool if he tried, and the Men’s Vogue editors are only partly to blame.
And if I’m an East German judge where the Sox are concerned, you are a French figure skating judge when it comes to the Yanks.

I actually like the A-Rod cover — junk and all. I like that they shot it outside. Positioning him next to the water, in navy and white…it’s like he’s in the Navy. It’s like the mag is saying, “We know who the REAL captain of the ship is.” Though, you’re right, it wouldn’t kill him to smile.

I didn’t think of the Navy reference, but you’re right, Coley. Unfortunately, this only makes the entire proceedings seem even more ambiguously gay.

Is Beckett wearing that new underarmor girdle I’ve been hearing about?
And I thought making a sourpuss made you intimidating in the ninth inning.

They clearly should have put Beckett in a shirt just a little more cowboy and nixed the jewelry. But as for the face, don’t confuse a dominating pitcher’s stare with a bitchy little pout. There’s definitely a difference, as Mr. Jay Manuel could no doubt elucidate better than I.
A-Rod should have gone with Blue Steel.

If Dennis Miller and Diablo Cody had a baby and then dropped it in a vat of references, Sarah Green would emerge spouting Urkle quotes.
Oh god, Jack Cust just hit a homerun. He’s handsome.

Why does A-Rod go to the beach in his uni? And what does he do with his bat when he gets there? This guy needs to hire a new image consultant because he is just weird. I’ve never seen such a good looking guy look so awkward so often. I’m starting to think he may be an android.

Where is the cover shot of Beckett from Boston Drunken Douchebag Weekly?

Jeter’s looks are declining and he looks like a bad version of a gay guy. Jeter is just plain butt ugly and his hairline is ridiculous. The herpes has gotten to old Jeter. Arod looks nice with a nice body and Becket looks okay too.

I like looking at A-Rod’s crotch, as do a lot of people. The dude is still hot as hell, so why not have him flaunt his sex appeal?

Giambi\’s Thyroid: haven\’t seen “Slick” on the cover of anything for quite a while. Although I’m sure he’s probably in some local Vegas hometown publications over the off season, no doubt, ie: Community Service Award, donating to local strippers and their families.. etc.

Nick Swisher is obviously not gay.
But I think it’s hilarious how everyone is referring to him as gay when there is a Jonas Brothers picture right below the description of the picture, hahaha.
