    No Contest, not even close, and a great point as you said: Shrek had the benefit of playing with the short porch and Green Monster, which raises most hitters batting averages. Shrek, wasn't worth a shit in Minnesota either. Edgar displayed his magic in all ball parks......

    The guy you want to see with RISP come to bat, or leading off any inning Edgar's B'Avg was .333- .334

    .423 career vs Yanks with OPS well over .900

    And the one thing which has always puzzled me concerning Ortiz killing the Yankees is he has managed to have only 3 career HBP vs the Yanks.
    I guess it's a case of both being well liked and Yankee pitchers not pitching "inside" more often. lol
    It pays to be a nice, smiley, jovial fellow as you bang around the opposition.
    Ortiz has only 36 HBP in his career!


    For perspective, the "famous" hitter (we know who) penalized for using PEDS has 169 career HBP. lol

    No doubt, the boy is a Whiner, Cry Baby, but moreso- a LIAR, a lying sack of shit at that.......

    Shrek is trying to use the: There picking on me defense::smiley-bigcry::smiley-bigcry:


    I never knew til recently one of Edgar's Team Mat e Nicknames was; believe it or not, Papi.......fk if he knew Shrek would be called the same, he'd of put an end to it prior to Shrek ever being a big leaguer.....

    Good article.
    Amphetamines were mentioned.
    Yep, nothing like a couple of Greenies to put some pep in your step especially during those "for days" and following a night game.

    Greenies, imo- the most common, oldest, overlooked, taken for granted, underrated and effective "performance" drug in baseball which we can easily trace back to the 1960's (or earlier?) when those nice clean great players were putting up numbers.
    But of course innocent until proven guilty.

    And amphetamines WILL help put pep in you step when some other guys are naturally dragging and lagging a bit.

    Hank Aaron admitted to taking one amphetamine, yet he said it was in a coffee pot spiked. The pot with a bit of extra get up juice always had a X on it.

    Hank admitted he was very tired during a game, drank a cup of the X coffee and stayed awake to see the sunrise.....

    that had to be the 60s. Yet, amphetamines were widely used in the 50s as well....

    as most know Hitler commissioned his chemist to create a drug which would keep his soldiers awake, thru countless days.......it wasn't soon after the War when his chemical romance made it to the States..........

    Yep. Greenies! Have flown under the radar regarding the "old days" of MLB.
    Good info on the pep pills.

    Don't be surprised if some of our guys were using them.
    And I think it's safe to say some German scientists helped with the U.S. rocket/space program.

    Heroin was made by Bayer, the German company.

    The more he claims he didn't, the more it looks like he did.

    Some Men or Peeps, just never grow up...!

    I could not live in the city of Boston or in the fkn state of Mass.

    I usually prefer a rural setting, and got this visceral in my head, of 2 PRC Calf Ropers, being let out of the bullpen chutes, to Calf Rope Shrek, and drag his ass off into the Harbor....!

    I'm tired of his yearly act of having to bitch and moan about something.

    No doubt, a year without Shreks' bitching and moaning, even getting his team mates riled up......(the Sox W.S. with Peralata)....

    If a year could go by without this Bozo whining, the Sun would refuse to shine....!
