Re: What is a Gamer?
frankly, this typical type of attitude in baseball is garbage and insults the players from previous years, as if they weren't trying hard, and that includes Bonds, who did more work than anybody.

Re: What is a Gamer?
A gamer likes to be comfortable in the clubhouse, regardless of how the team is performing.
A gamer does a better job on his hairstyle than fielding ground balls.
This is the Frandsen/Zito mockery thread, right?

There's a great book
There's a sequel as well. The guy researched all the names to make sure they were genuine. I bought it for my wife. Her favorite is "Genghis Cohen."

Great Moments in Naming History
3rd Prize: Family surname of Lear, so of course, the parents name their daughter Crystal Shanda Lear.
2nd Prize: A summer school student's first name was LaTrine. Yes, pronounced just like that. I assumed she was named in honor of where she was conceived.
Grand prize: Family surname of Cox. The mom's name -- mind you, she married into the name, so it's just sort of coincidence -- was Candy. Yep. Mom's name is Candy Cox. So, of course, they have a daughter, and name her....
.... Pleasure. That's right. Pleasure Cox.
And before anyone criticizes any of the naming choices any of these parents made, let me just defend them by saying that stripping is a perfectly honorable profession.

Re: Real Answer Below
I feel like I'm always talking about the radio ads, but they are truly some of the worst I've ever heard.
I would have gone with "At least we aren't the Orioles and or Pirates" but thats just me.

Re: What is a Gamer?
A gamer vainly attempts to run down a homer 10 rows deep in the bleachers.
A gamer knows that once out of every 200 at bats, that routine grounder to second is going to get misplayed, and he might just beat out the throw to first.
A gamer won't take the lazy man's approach by knocking 40+ homers a season. A gamer prefers to be speedy.
Barry Bonds is NOT a gamer. And we officially hate him now. Mark it down.*
* Note that I don't hate Barry Bonds, that last line is said from the perspective of the Giants

Re: What is a Gamer?
A gamer gets overpaid for doing the little things, yet can't deliver on the big things.
A gamer is past his prime.
A gamer can play Guitar Hero, the new Dance Dance Revolution.
Remember, Barry Bonds is NOT a gamer.
Re: What is a Gamer?
A gamer knows that On Base Percentage is just another way of saying "fancy boy."
Gamers don't throw heat, they prefer to throw 85-88MPH fastballs.
Lefties are better gamers than righties.
A gamer knows the true value of a strikeout (not applicable to pitchers).
A gamer knows that working a pitch count means he's spending less time getting dirty in the field.
I can not state this often enough... Barry Bonds is not - repeat NOT - a gamer.

Re: What is a Gamer?
A good test is to substitute your word for "Gamer" every time it appears in the ad. See how well it works!!
Re: What is a Gamer?
Personally, I could care less if a player personally gives me the middle finger every time they come to the plate, so long as they perform well on the field.

The moral of this story? Things that are endearing in small doses ARE REALLY IRRITATING IF YOU OVERDO IT.

Gamers have warrior spirit.
Only gamers can find swagger.
