What the hell is wrong w/ you 2? haha, what happened to my thread

The guy w/ no avatar made the best response, he even has numbers to back it up...

just thought I'd pipe in that comparing Andruw Jones or Corey Patterson to Willie Mays is stupid. Andruw Jones has always been somewhat of a disappointment, I couldn't count the times I've seen Bobby Cox want to strangle him. Believe it or not his putouts and steals have fallen each of the last few years and his GIDP have risen. He's having a great first half and deserves the all-star nod, though, that much is true. But quit shining his jock, he doesn't deserve it.

Corey Patterson is 23. He looks great. He's about 2/3rds the player Andruw is and could get better, but considering how undisciplined he is at the plate there's only so much better he can get.

Except for that undiscipline thing, people can learn.

LOL Bryan, sorry.

Just felt like holding a good argument.

I just really find it annoying when people display a lack of character.

I'm done with the argument, back to being just an everyday "lurker" on these boards, LOL.
