Damn, it seems like every time there was a scorching shot down the line snagged by David, O.P. was on the mound.

And combine that w/ Lupe Fiasco, probably the best up-and-coming rapper out there, and it's a gem. Both are exciting and refreshing young stars in their respective industries. Kudos to Nate for the video. Great video of David Wright. And combine that w/ Lupe Fiasco, probably the best up-and-coming rapper out there, and it’s a gem.

His opinions always seem to be one extreme or the other. And god forbid you disagree with his assessment of a given player...

His fielding percentage was near the bottom of the list of starting third basemen. His range factor and zone rating weren't spectacular, which pretty much dispels the notion that he makes more errors because he gets to more balls. Additionally, winning a gold glove doesn't necessarily make him the best everyday 3B in the NL. It's an an award based on voting, and is OFTEN the subject of intense debate. For Christ's sake, Derek Jeter has won 3 Gold Gloves, and it's unlikely that he was even in the top three defensively at his position any of those years.
