He is richer than God but it goes to his head. He inherited his money from the Irving Trust. Daddy was an oilman. Poor TJ was born on third base and thinks he hit a triple. I know TJ personally.

]]> Comment on If Josh Hamilton is Like the Rest of us, I Forgive Him by robert bulka http://diamondhoggers.com/2012/02/09/if-josh-hamilton-is-like-the-rest-of-us-i-forgive-him/#comment-3586 robert bulka Thu, 09 Feb 2012 06:32:51 +0000 http://diamondhoggers.com/?p=11016#comment-3586 It's silly to think that we have the right to judge Josh Hamilton. He needs to get forgiveness from those he hurt, his family. But you've got to wonder if he would have given a public apology if he hadn't been discovered in a drunken state? Oh well, let's play ball!

]]> Comment on The Ups and Downs of an Epic, Last Minute trip to St Louis for Game 7 of the World Series by Jen http://diamondhoggers.com/2011/11/01/the-ups-and-downs-of-an-epic-last-minute-trip-to-st-louis-for-game-7-of-the-world-series/#comment-3582 Jen Fri, 03 Feb 2012 18:33:30 +0000 http://diamondhoggers.com/?p=10766#comment-3582 I just sent this link to some people in my office. They all laughed hysterically and agreed that they suck for living in STL and watching it on TV at home, when they could have been downtown with 150,000 other people. The countdown for Opening Day is on in STL, and Cardinals single-game tickets go on sale March 3rd. Brokers/StubHub is where we end up getting them about half the time (this will be my 17th consecutive Opening Day appearance). Our group starts tail-gating at 9 a.m. a block from the stadium. Hope to see you guys for what we all consider the best Opening Day in the whole country. :) I just sent this link to some people in my office.

]]> Comment on A First Look at MLB The Show ’12 by Jordan http://diamondhoggers.com/2011/12/13/a-first-look-at-mlb-the-show-12/#comment-3436 Jordan Wed, 21 Dec 2011 18:10:17 +0000 http://diamondhoggers.com/?p=10882#comment-3436 I really wish they had a button to argue calls (via manager). EA sports used to have that....you'd tap "b" to initiate the disputed call on the field and then tap "a" repeatedly to show how adamant the manager would contest such a call. tapping "a" too much would fire up a manager and get them tossed. yet, tapping "a" just enough would pump up your team, and the manager would get his point across without an ejection. arguing calls is such a crucial part of the game. that's what mlb the show has always been lacking. (who doesn't want to argue a call when necessary?) p.s: thank the lawd, they're fixing the announcing. btw this game rules! i really look forward to 3/6/12 I really wish they had a button to argue calls (via manager).
