Send Thug Life back to Louisville

He looked terrible at the plate, and we all know about his poor D. He's worthless to us at this point.

LaRue? Lopez? Wily Mo? Hummell?

Re: Send Thug Life back to Louisville

Hummel just screams "thug life" to me... :lol:

Re: Send Thug Life back to Louisville

Is this another personal attack on Casey?

Re: Send Thug Life back to Louisville

I'm going to assume you mean Lopez, seeing as he's the last to be called up.

Why are you calling him a thug? Because of his tattoos (that show)? That's the only reason I can think of.

Also, IMHO, you can't tell much from the few ABs he got tonight; give the guy a chance.

Yeah, I'd have to agree there

Re: Send Thug Life back to Louisville

Fe-No(socks) just needs a couple sweet remote controlled cars to get in a groove. He'll be alright.

I'm not a FeLo fan. I thought Olmedo was better last year.

Re: Send Thug Life back to Louisville

You know, I attempted to make jest of this post but it really does bother me that one of the Reds players is being called a "Thug" with no basis behind why. Has this player done something to qualify him being called a "thug" (oh I don't know like; snatched an old ladies purse while she was crossing the street; broke into a church to steal the Christmas fund; punched a player running from 2nd to 3rd for no reason; sexually assaulted of one of the Rosie Reds).

They were the same guy, except Felipe could get on base a bit more.

Re: Send Thug Life back to Louisville

FC, I'm also interested as to why Felipe is being called a thug. It's one thing not to like him based on his perfomance (which has obviously been subpar). It's another thing to attack him with no substance behind it.

Re: Send Thug Life back to Louisville

I say we give the guy more than 2 pinch hit at bats in his first game back before we send him back to louisville.

Re: Send Thug Life back to Louisville

I don't know if he's necessarily calling him a thug. My guess is that he sees FeLo's tats and whatever and believes that FeLo is a person who idolizes gangstas. Kind of like Allen Iverson. He was probably frustrated with FeLo's feeble pinch hitting attempt and he just lashed out in frustration. If FeLo had gone yard, the reaction probably woul have been different.
