I embarrassed myself for nothing? I'm so disappointed. Oh, and fuck DeRosa. He was dead to me the second he became a Cardinal. No love for my “chemistry & heart” comment or for being instigator for the whole MikeD Mark DeRosa rant? I embarrassed myself for nothing? I’m so disappointed.

Oh, and fuck DeRosa. He was dead to me the second he became a Cardinal.

That both DeRosa and Walker are awesome? Because that's what I think. I’m not sure what point the comparison proves. That both DeRosa and Walker are awesome?

Derosa's best season as a Cub was 2008, 3.7 War, which compares favorably with...Mickey Morandini's 1998 season (3.6 WAR), as well as Mark Bellhorn's 2002 (3.0), a season in which Bellhorn played at every infield position, as well as LF. So much for versatility. But there's more! Derosa's also the poorer defender: Walker, career: -8.2 UZR/150 @ 2B, 7.8 UZR/150 @ 3B Derosa, career: -7.5 UZR/150 @ 2B, -7.2 UZR/150 @ 3B The more you look into the Derosa love, the stupider it becomes, especially when you being to realize that these people are essentially pining for Mark Bellhorn.

“64″ ist “Vier und Sechzehn”
