    This deserved a bump. Thug Life decide to put on a show for the hometown fanclub last night.

    I don't understand the trashing of Hummel that has been occuring as of late. He has tattoos, right? Cool, though I wouldn't wear one myself because they can't easily be removed. Did he commit a crime recently? I've not heard of it if he did. What does he sound like when he talks? For some reason I just can't picture Hummel as a thug. Can we give this kid a break?

    When the Reds obtained "Thug Life" Hummel last season, he was right here in Charlotte playing for the White Sox AAA team, the Knights...I remember fondly sitting in those seats watching batting practice before games with teams like Syracuse, Louisville, Richmond, and Toledo....Oh how we watched in awe as young Timmy Hummel would shuffle slowly out to the batting cage with his entourage' close beside him, grab his "club" and beat baseballs senseless...

    Oh to have those days again...

    I'll share Presidency of the "Charlotte NC Chapter" with RandyofCharlotte......

    "Thug Life" is not an insult. It's a term of endearment.

    Hummel is called Thug Life because he has street cred... and well the Thug Life fan club here respects that.

    Simply put, he keeps it real.

    Good to see you around, Mission! My wife was right when she called me a home-body, because I don't understand what you mean when you say that "Thug Life because he has street cred..."

    This entire Thug Life stuff started as a very racist comment regarding Lopez. I am assuming that in an attempt to deflect the underlines of that thread the all American white boy was put out there to be *Thug Life* and it became a running joke.

    One that I think is quite tasteless.

    For the same reason Tommy Lasorda called a young, meek Orel Hershiser "Bulldog." For the same reason countess big guys are called "Tiny." For the same reason people call Zombie a "Good Mod."

    Oops, I better strike that last one.

    This should give you an indication why.
