I bet 95% of the people who constantly have the Uribe weight comments have bigger waistlines than him.

They are also not paid professional athletes.

I bet 100% of the people you mention aren't being paid millions of dollars to be a professional athlete. ;)

Dye either needs to be a DH or get the Old Yeller treatment

They are also not paid professional athletes.

 

Great minds think alike. Case closed!

I guess I am a proud member of the 5% club then.

If someone not named Juan Uribe stood right next to you in street clothes with the exact same body, you would not think he's fat.

Also in the 5%.

Alright Danks! Way to pitch. He's really dealing out there. On to the 5th inning we go. 2-0 Good Guys.

Impressive to see Danks pitch over the leadoff hit to such a fast player.

Danks has looked awesome except for 1 start this year.

I don't think he is that fat. He is fatter than he used to be and therefore too fat. You'd think he'd take his athleticism more seriously since that is a huge part of his career.

Not to Digress, but SS is usually among the smallest players. Eckstein is too small, but think of Guillen in his playing days or Carera, or Valentin.

He has. He just looks dominant right now. I don't know what his problem was for that one start.

If Jenks gets lit up the next appearance, will you be talking about how far below his belt his gut appears to be hanging?

Jenks isn't a middle infielder and he doesn't run the base paths. Also, Jenks is far more productive. Juan tends to bring criticism on himself with his play.

I missed it...was Uribe close to a homer?

One is fat and has back to back 40 save seasons and tied a record.

 

The other is fat, and struggled to beat out Brian Anderson for worst BA in 06, hit like crap last year, and has started like a turd this year.

 

I am Jenks biggest fan, he is a large fat man. Fat in person, and fat on the field. If you are fat, and still play well sure.

There's a difference. There is the intimidation factor with pitchers, especially when you have one of the best curve balls in baseball and a 100mph fastball. Uribe isn't close to as good of a player as jenks is.

Just some fantastic at bats by Swisher....he's been very consistent all season.

Fixed

Have a day, Thome

To Hawk? Or to the rest of us?

Thome!

Great game going for Thome. He's squared up the ball in every AB.
