Where do you get that idea?

Rookies struggle others don’t and those are your ROY people.

Good question

Sometimes you eat the bear and sometimes the bear eats you?

Don’t shit in your hat and call it a donut?

I have no clue.

Let's try to break this down.

“Where do you get that idea?”

Is he referring to Jeff’s post? I’m assuming so since it isn’t a reply to anything else. In that case, is he asking where Jeff got the idea that life is fair? Is he referring to the fact that Mystic Tan sucks? Who knows.

“Rookies struggle others don’t”

Perhaps a comma and a period would clear this up here:Rookies struggle, others don’t. Here he may be subscribing to the whole “BUT THE VETERANS1!” crap. But as Gomez pointed out, Woods is not a rookie.

“And those are your ROY people”

Is he again referring to Woods(see above)? Is he saying that Woods is a possible Rookie of the Year candidate? Is he referring to the new posters here at LL?

Bottom line:What the fuck?

"All I’ve ever done is be Juan Pierre when I wear this jersey. They’re sticking it to me this year for whatever reason. "

So, in summation:

Some rookies suck, some are good, and others are just okay.

I get it now, it’s a Mitch Hedberg reference

Perhaps because you did not receive the ROY.

I counted at least two from Graham

Robert, Fogel, LFoJL, Ian? all voted for him as well

I'm sorry, did I miss a poll?

Fogel doesn’t get to vote for himself three times.

Here's the real question

I have a LLemmies FanPost drafted and pretty close to ready. Should we actually vote or just leave them be?

by seattlebruin on Sep 11, 2008 7:23 AM PDT up reply actions  

Maybe he wasn't saying ROY (Rookie of the Year).

Maybe he was saying ROY (Corcoran).

Eh, EH? Yeah, probably not.

Not to be a complete attention whore or anything

but slurvey, have you read this yet? Give it a read. Then try again.

Life is not fair

Blue Jays run differential – +95
Angels run differential – +62

Blue Jays standing – 4th, AL East
Angels standing – clinched AL West

If the Angels were New York Angels of Buffalo, they’d be the fifth best team in their division
