Tigers DFA Monroe, call up Maybin

by disposablehero on Aug 17, 2007 7:53 PM CDT

interesting... Maybin has only had something like 6 games played in AA ball, now he's making his debut in Yankee stadium tonight. too bad about local boy Monroe. i think he's the type of guy the Rangers might have picked up just for the hell of it a few months ago, but probably no way now. he had a pretty decent year last year but has fizzled this season and is already 30 years old.

Didn't Joe Morgan...

say Monroe was a future All-Star and could do anything he wanted in the game all last post season?

Oh that wacky Joe Morgan

He also said something

that made it sound like he was just a kid, can't remember the specific comment.

Speaking of funny announcer comments...

Did anyone else see the Emmitt Smith comment on which NFL rookie he thought would have the most impact? He said......Travis Henry.....a 7 year veteran.

Oh that crazy Emmitt.

See, I think

that the problem isn't that Emmitt doesn't know Henry's status. It's that he doesn't know what the word "rookie" means.

I think you are right

I love Emmitt but he isn't very bright. It will be worth watching the ESPN show now just to hear how he mangles the English language and how stupid his opinions will be. Like this gem from a few years ago describing the Cowboys:

"We had some diamonds, but there was a lot of... cow poo poo mixed in with the diamonds. And the diamonds was mixed in with the poo poo"

What kind of a douche quotes himself?
