PrintWho do you think has signed the most autographs in the history of man? I'm going to say Pete Rose. He certainly has signed more autographs than anyone in baseball history, right? I recently got into a conversation re: which baseball player signed the most autographs NOT named Peter Edward. Thoughts?
Also, what film in history is most in need of a sequel?
And, we need topics/themes for Slyde's 2nd book. Suggestions?
Mike Zimmer has to be the head coach of the Bengals next season, no?
Projections for Yorman Rodriquez next season??? he went .339/.361/.456 at Billings in his age 17 season this year. OUTstanding.
Anyone seen the Pete Rose movie yet? Methinks I'm gonna hop over to the Esquire sometime after Tuesday. Sue me, i still remember the Hit King as a helluva competitor who never gave less than 100% on the field. That matters to me.

SLyde's 2nd Book
How about the first Reds team to go to back-to-back World Series? Or maybe the worst team in Reds history?
Mike Zimmer, Maybe
Movie Sequel – Harvey. I mean what ever happened to Elwood P. Dowd?
Hope Springs Eternal
Waterworld 2 ... Oceanic Boogaloo

BlockBuster To Gutter
The Story o a misunderstood Sabremetric genius and his dog Biff as they scale the heights of The New York times Better Sellers list only to spend the money on Booze and spiked dog biscuits.

Simone de Beauvoir
Mike Zimmer? Really?
Defensive coordinator of an uncreative defense with no pass rush? No, thank you. Zimmer can’t control the personnel, but he has hardly worked wonders with what he has been given.
Of course, it will probably be Bratkowski, seeing how he has pictures of Mike Brown and a chimpanzee in flagrante delicto.
Movie Most in need of a sequel: The Incredibles. Either that, or “Dirty Mary Crazy Larry”
Slyde’s second book: “Arbitrary End Points: Why baseball pundits are all fucking morons.”
Yorman is going to develop some power next year, but no patience. .295/.315/.455, and we all start worrying if he is ever going to learn to take a pitch.

yanno
promoting brat might be the only way to get him OFF the offensive coordinator position.

I saw The Social Network and Secretariat tonight
The Social Network was great, and Secretariat was terrible. Just amazingly bad.
Bengals
until they get some leaders on that team it doesn’t matter who the coach is. I’d dump a receiver (maybe two of them) and draft a QB #1 this year
Hope Springs Eternal
The Chad and Carson show should not be renewed next season
If you live long enough, you'll see that every victory turns into a defeat.
Simone de Beauvoir
I'm still pro Carson
gone sour on Chad a couple years ago. Lapham has stated that others in the know have called Chad one of the worst route-runners in the league. Carson can’t know where Chad will be if he has to do it in 4 seconds or less.

Here we go
Most autographs ever? I’m going to say Bill Clinton, or some other politician?
Second most in baseball to PER? I’ll say Ernie Banks just because he’s been doing shows for so long.
Spaceballs needs a sequel, dangit.
While I like Mike Zimmer, I want to see Bill Cowher as the next Bengals coach.
I refuse to pay attention to any prospect until at least AA.

oooh, good call with spaceballs 2 .. i wiki'd it and found this ...
It was rumored that there was going to be a sequel entitled Spaceballs 3: The Search for Spaceballs 2, but the sequel turned out to be a hoax
"And a high fly ball to center field. He hit it a ton. And the 2010 National League Central Division Champs are the Cincinnati Reds!"
I remember being all excited when that rumor started :(

No edits. I would love to watch wassisface have to hold his breath underwater for two hours.

Zoolander is his best movie

@btcoop71
lemme see here
Second most baseball autographs of all time has got to be Nolan Ryan (Texas is a big ass state), Junior, or Cal Ripken. Cal played forever and signed a ton.
Movie in need of a sequel…hmm. I’ve always wanted to see just how badass Kaizer Soze is, so Usual Suspects 2 fascinates me.
And the king of the non-baseball autograph world is undoubtedly Bob Hope.

The Answers you've been waiting for
Sequel? The Big Lebowski
Slyde’s next book? Bun to Bun: Cincinnati’s Epic Burger Battle (or How I Learned to Realize Terry’s Turf Club is Really Overrated)
The Bengals do not need to replace Marvin, they need to get better players. If our 2010 Reds won in spite of The Dusty, then the Bengals can win in spite of Marvin Lewis. Or seriously, Jon Gruden.
Talk to me about Yorman when he’s cashin’ checks in Louisville.
Time for me to get blasted
I’ve never seen The Big Lebowski front to back, only snippets here and there. There are a lot of “great” movies that I’ve not seen.
TTC is not overrated, don’t let ’tHan fool you.
The Bengals will not be consistently good until new ownership/management takes over.
Agreed on Yorman. Brandon Larson and Jason Larue were great minor league hitters.
"just a couple of weeks ago a first year student in my program told me i was charming and charismatic, it was a guy, but the point still stands.: -- justin007000
ttc is overrated
They served a burger in three pieces to than. Inexcusable….
Larue and larson didn’t have those stats as a 17 yr old prof minor leaguer… apples to oranges.
Hell, id wager jch, pops and I didn’t have those batting stats in jv hs ball.

No, what's inexcusable is a restaurant with the word "Burgers" in its name running out of meat
"just a couple of weeks ago a first year student in my program told me i was charming and charismatic, it was a guy, but the point still stands.: -- justin007000
bards has ran out of meat for you, and for than/westie/ash me
on two different occasions. i now put it with quatman’s on the uneatable list.
"the only place they lost was the scoreboard"
it's a damned shame too, because they're pretty good
"just a couple of weeks ago a first year student in my program told me i was charming and charismatic, it was a guy, but the point still stands.: -- justin007000
Joey Votto and Adam Dunn were also great minor league hitters
what’s your point?

That hitting .339 in Billings doesn't impress me
"just a couple of weeks ago a first year student in my program told me i was charming and charismatic, it was a guy, but the point still stands.: -- justin007000
that's fine, but that has nothing to do with Brandon Larson or Jason Larue
Red Reporter or follow on Twitter: @redreporter. Buy The Wire-to-Wire Reds today!
Larson and Larue both hit well at higher levels than where Yorman is and couldn't hit for shit in the ML
Of course, it might just be that their names start with the letter L.

Yorman is 17
and he’s hitting like this against guys who have finished college. that’s something.
by Charlie Scrabbles on Oct 29, 2010 3:32 PM EDT up reply actions
Guys that have finished college and are in Low A ball aren't very good
I agree that Yorman is talented. Brien Taylor was talented too. My original post was agreeing with HLM21 that until Yorman is killing AAA pitching, I’m not going to worry about him.
"just a couple of weeks ago a first year student in my program told me i was charming and charismatic, it was a guy, but the point still stands.: -- justin007000
your first mistake was to ever agree with HLM21

then why were you so big on Leake last season sans MiLB stats?
"the only place they lost was the scoreboard"
We've gone over this before
I believe the CWS to be somewhere between AA and AAA, and Leake dominated the #1 team in the country. I also happened to be watching that game and fell in love with his poise and “nut up” pitch selection.
