It's not just because I'm a yankees fan though. I just think he's overall a douchy person. I just don't like him, and i don't like how he acts. He thinks he's god's gift to the world, and he'll do anything to get attention (example: the bloody sock)

Obviously and if you're a Yankee fan those traits only irritate you more.

I am guessing you are no longer on his website's mailinglist?

Well, I don't think he did that for attention. I completely buy that he was pitching and the suture in his ankle came open. I also think that you'd better be joking, because hoping for ANYONE to get hit by a bus is just not cool.


Also, he's not an AUTOMATIC HOF by any stretch. He only had 216 wins. Had a 3.30 ERA or so, and despite his 3 WS, and his great playoff record, he will be going in with a tough class, at least in year one, of Piazza...not to mention the controversial Bonds, Clemens, Sosa group.

ok, 1) i don't buy the bloody sock, but that's just my opinion, we really can't prove it one way or another. 2) dude, come on, i don't HOPE he gets hit by a bus. but i certainly wouldn't mourn his death

If you don't buy the bloody sock, than what do you believe? The guy may be a bit egotistic, but he wouldn't put ketchup or paint on his sock. He was already loved by Sox fans and hated by Yankees fans...

it was a move to make him look more heroic and get huge media coverage. i don't know what was on that sock, but if it was blood, he 1: would have been taken out of the game if their training staff had ANY idea what they were doing, and 2: he would have bled a lot more, since a stuture opening like that would flow pretty freely, he had stitches for a reason, and that reason is because the cut couldn't close by itself. The amount of blood on his sock is relatively small, and should have been much more if a wound like that had opened freely.

See, you're wrong there. The suture was not necessarily to keep a cut open, but to hold the ankle tendon in place. The cut can open without the suture necessarily failing. The medical staff doesn't pull someone over a cut opening up....

And no one ever said it opened freely, you did. The suture shifted slightly, resulting in a small pool of blood.

so if the suture shifted so slightly, why did everyone immediately christen him a hero?

[ljshorty89]

I never did. I don't know either. Personally, I think it was mainly Red Sox fans trying to piss off Yankees fans, and the Yankees fans reaction that made it more of a big deal than it was. If he had had a paper cut that bled into his glove, would anyone care?
