McCall Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Nyjer Morgan, unlike Milton Bradley, doesn't have a pathologically immense persecution complex, nor does he accuse everyone of racism, quit on his team, or generally act like a belligerent toolbox. They're both black, though!The only difference between the two is at least Bradley looks like he wouldn't necessarily get his @$$ kicked when he crosses the line. Though both are in serious need of one. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Phillies JV team (and Cole Hamels) take game 1 from the Brewers, and are now 4-0 this week vs. the #2 and #3 best NL teams.Hamels won't get a sniff at the Cy Young this year due to the Kershaw's ridiculous season, and in-team competition from Halladay and Lee, but IMO he's been the rock for them and while every pitcher wins a few that they shouldn't and loses a few that they shouldn't, I think the latter situation applies to him more than most other pitchers, and he should certainly have more Ws right now than he does.

Though both are in serious need of one.See, this kind of silly fan sh|t talk really gets on my nerves. A few things I know for sure...while his antics are idiotic at worst and questionable at best, Nyjer Morgan does not rival Milton Bradley on the crazy scale, Morgan/T-Plush/Tony Gumbo does not deserve a beatdown for his questionable/idiotic antics, and even if he did, some silly fan sh|t talker will not be the one to do it. So, basically, don't say such stupid stuff. If he wore your beloved team's colors, you'd be saying other silly fan sh|t about his "heart", how he doesn't back down from anyone, provides a spark, something about energy...blah, blah, blah.Either way, Morgan needs to stop with the multiple personalities and trying to be all gangsta on Twitter. Grown men with alter egos and imaginary friends need counseling. On January 16, 2013 at 3:49 PM, NJTank said: Btw this is old hat for Notre Dame. Knits Rockne made up George Tip's death bed speech.

They don't stand for non-classy players who don't play for the Cardinals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From this day forward I am a changed man." Also, I like Nyjer Morgan. He's got personality. Or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Seems like this has been the year that Brewers fans have really gotten the full St. Louis Cardinals experience.

Could he win the Cy Young, who knows, it could be Lee, it could be Kershaw, it could be Kennedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Also, I like Nyjer Morgan. He's got personality. Or two.So do I... but we all know that any athlete who isn't stoic, stiff, boring, and underpaid is immediately fodder for the "diva," "locker room cancer," and "thug" labels.

Lights Out Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I'm generalizing a bit to make my point, sure, but the media (and a large number of fans) seem to be hung up on labeling athletes for the sake of a narrative, instead of simply treating them as individuals.

oddball Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 My point with comparing Morgan to Milton Bradley and Gary Matthews said the same thing, was that there are players who just don't get that their antics take away from the team and cause more problems than they are worth. We all know Morgan is going to snap again and end up with another team. We've seen it before and we'll see it again, players who just don't get a clue. It's not a black or white thing, it's as Hank Hill pointed out, "An idiot problem." I watched Milton Bradley for a few years with the Dodgers and he was as talented as can be, but a head case. Morgan is the same thing. If you want personalities that weren't head cases, how about Rickey Henderson? Or maybe even Michael Irvan or even Shaq. Off the court they are a little... okay in their own world, but on the court you knew you were getting 100% from them. Morgan supposedly is as talented as they can be, but his head is not always there on the field. It's not that he's breaking baseball etiquette (which I think is a joke anytime anyone uses that phrase), it's just he lacks common sense and he's proven in it time and time again. He does things and instigates things that don't need to be done or instigated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case, he threw tobacco at the pitcher for no f-ing reason at all. And this was the least of his incidents. You could see his teammates are starting to get sick of his crap. One of these days, Braun or Fielder or whoever are gonna get plunked because of some bs he did. He's a good player but he's not their best and so a team will probably go after them. If I'm on his team I'm sitting him down and telling to cut the s***. He can be a colorful personality, but he's far beyond that. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCall Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Bystander? Players get hit in retaliation for someone else all the time. And no I wasn't insinuating the Cardinals. I'm sure there are a number of other teams that are fed up with him. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
