I'm shocked...
AJM made this a front page post. ;)

In all seriousness
Laird was standing there talking to the fans and signing autographs for everyone for a good amount of time. I thought it was cool of him to actually sign the shirt like that.
It is cool,
but Im not a fan of his. Im sure you weren’t hot and heavy for him either, but after this it probably changed your thoughts on him. It would have changed mine.

I've been
kind of indifferent towards Laird. I’ve liked him as a player and always thought he was funny in all his interviews. I also was one that thought he would rebound pretty well this season and wasn’t as aad as he played last season. The only thing is that I am realistic about his future here and know that between Salty, Teagarden, Ramirez, and even more catching talent in the lower levels of the system, Laird’s future isn’t going to be as the Rangers starter for very long.
well
that shirt just depreciated a lot.

Okay
That’s the most awesome thing I’ve seen all day ever.

was OK for awhile last year. Now it just comes off as being very arrogant.

Has he mentioned it this year?
I haven’t heard much of it outside of people here joking around with it. I was the one who asked him to sign it like that. Don’t care if keeps saying it though, its hilarious each time.

I doubt he even knows that “1 man 5 tools” is an LSB inside joke. Did you tell him what it meant? Because that would be even awesomer if knew, and signed it anyway.

Dumb
He wears number 15 because he says he’s one man but has five tools. Check your facts baseball Jesus.
My reading of the original 1 Man 5 Tools article, is that is was a joke by Laird
You may be aware that Gerald Laird has had a very good year in a backup catcher’s role that keeps expanding. You may not be aware of Laird’s comedic talents. Chatted him up yesterday afternoon about a very nice performance in Game 2 of the Rangers’ doubleheader at Boston. He stole a base and threw out a runner.
Me: “Which do you want to brag about, Gerald, the legs or the arm?’‘
Him: “You know why I’m wearing the number 15 this year, don’t you?’‘
Me: “Uh, not really.’‘
Him: “One man, five tools.’‘
I think he said something else, but I couldn’t hear it over his giggles. Beautiful stuff. Beautiful.
Danks, Volquez, Galarraga and Young are GONE! GET OVER IT! Endless whining will not bring them back!

Ah
I don’t remember seeing that in 2006. That was before I really got into blogging. Thanks.
