Bonds, Adam Dunn and Ichiro aren’t participating, so I’m not interested.

Also, Evan Longoria? Really?

I’m actually sort of excited to see him in this, but I agree, he really shouldn’t be there in the first place.

People's lives are ruined daily , this guy survived - and thrives.

I have this running battle with Jim McClennan , the “Grant” of AZ Snakepit over whether to give Hamilton kudos – he’s just down on him and I prop him up.
Read the SI article on Hamilton – while SI articles are usually pretty kissass – and this is no exception – there’s grim reality to deal with. Addiction is for life , and we’re ALL going to know if Hamilton fails. I , for one , hope he never does.

He has this way of saying things that really irritates me. I can’t explain it. They’ll be showing a clip of a game on BBTN and he’ll say something about one of the players and it’ll just make me want to reach into the television and punch him in the face. AND HE ALWAYS DOES IT.

It’ll be like, so-and-so hits a double and he’ll say, in this really weird condescending voice, “Not many people are noticing, but so-and-so is having a really great year”. If you watch BBTN and listen to what Kurkjian says during the highlights you’ll see what I’m talking about.

Also, he’s obsessed with stupid split stats and random trivia.

No,

Also: ESPN single-handedly ruined the best weekly NFL broadcast the second they took over MNF. SNF w/ Micheals is the new MNF.

Wow, a lot of ESPN hate from me tonight. All that Hamilton sack sucking really wore on me at the gym.

Actually, I watched BBTN the other night for the first time in over a year and a half.

But Kurkjian did that thing that always irritated me and it made me angry.
