The great Crash Davis once said " Your shower shoes have fungus on them. You'll never make it to the bigs with fungus on your shower shoes. Think classy, you'll be classy. If you win 20 in the show, you can let the fungus grow back and the press'll think you're colorful. Until you win 20 in the show, however, it means you are a slob." I don't think Brewers centerfield Nyjer Morgan gets the point of that quote. I just started reading an article in the new Sports Illustrated about the Milwaukee Brewers, it started off listing teams with colorful personalities that have won it all. For example Boston had Damon, San Francisco has Brian Wilson and then Brewers GM, Doug Melvin, points out that Milwaukee has Nyjer. I got like four paragraphs in and I couldn't take it anymore. Why the fuck do people like this guy. You can put him in the list with those other players BUT the only difference between those two and Morgan are that they are actually good players. You can act like an ass if you play well. Saying you are 6'6'' and 240 pounds and as fast as Usain Bolt would be somewhat funny if you didn't have only eight stolen bases this year. In fact your are someone who is suppose to be a stolen base threat but they mean nothing if you only have a 68% career success rate. Hitting .313 is nice but you don't score runs, you're career high is 74 granted you have been on shitty teams. The whole point is win something and then act like an ass, until then shut the fuck up.
- Here is Nyjer Morgan being not funny.
