Does Nick Markakis really exist?
In Sports Illustrated this week, four professional athletes are asked who the rock band Wilco is and all four claimed to not know.
One, Baltimore Orioles right-fielder Nick Markakis, also said the food that turns his stomach is salad and that his favorite summer drink is Coors Light.
If the boy would try beer instead, his team wouldn't be 19 games behind the first-place 26-time World Champion New York Yankees.
In that same issue, there is a page-and-a-half photograph of Blue Jays pitcher Roy Halladay and a lot of ya-ya-dee-dee-dah about what a bad ass he is and how his presence on their roster would improve other teams.
Last night in Toronto, Hideki Matsui and his first-place New York Yankee teammates spanked that Halladay butt into the Loser Column.

I like to party with my boots.
I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

Re: Does Nick Markakis really exist?
Two things: there is a baseball thread—200+ pages and growing—so you don't need to start new baseball threads every time, and are you suggesting that Roy Halladay isn't a bad ass who wouldn't improve other teams? Really? He's not perfect, but he's one of the three best pitchers in baseball (I'd say Lincecum is the only one better).ChicoHarris wrote:In that same issue, there is a page-and-a-half photograph of Blue Jays pitcher Roy Halladay and a lot of ya-ya-dee-dee-dah about what a bad ass he is and how his presence on their roster would improve other teams.

Who's Nick Markakis? Is he the president of Madagascar or something?
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Yeah, Halladay is almost as badass as Andrew Eugene Pettitte.
Halladay is awesome actually and I hate him for that.
Nick Markakis does exist, I'm pretty sure of it. I saw him bat once or twice.
