Things That Make You Go Huh
I was reading a recap of the Orioles/Yankees game on Yahoo and I read something I didn't quite understand. Check out the opening sentence and then the quote from Anna Benson:
"He had something to prove," she said, "and he proved it."
Can someone tell me what the heck he proved ? She makes it sound as if he's a man on a mission. He only lasted 5.1 innings. He threw 103 pitches, 56 for strikes...not exactly a marksman. He allowed 11 runners to reach base. He gave up 3 earned runs, the equivalent of an ERA over 5. Not exactly a great pitching performance, so I'm not sure what Anna meant with her statement. He may have gotten the win, but he didn't beat the Yankees. The Yankees beat the Yankees.
The fact is, Kris Benson is a mediocre pitcher, which is what the league is full of these days, he just happens to have a hot, outspoken wife so we all know his name. His career winning % is below .500. His career ERA is just about 4.25 which is high for a National League pitcher. He's on his 3rd team in 3 years. The guy is an average pitcher at best. He's not bad. He's not good.
If that's what he was out to prove, congrats, he did a good job. Anna should be proud. Man, she's an idiot. If you really want to see how much of an idiot she is, go check out this and this on her website. I don't know whether or not I should feel sorry for Kris.

Anna's comments are odd, but she's his wife (at least I think they're still married), so if she wants to make him sound like he's got something to prove, let her. He didn't prove much to me last night other than the fact the Yankees let him off the hook when we could have let him have it. Not something I'd be proud of if I were him.

I wouldn't touch that lady with a ten foot pole! She's honestly not that attractive, but she's trying to keep everyone's attention by her stupid comments.

Dawg,
Not really interested in what strippers have to say...
More interested in what I saw today with a one Todd Helton....
A stomach ailment- Intestinal inflamation?
Now I don't want to be a conspirator (I really do) but sounds a tad "Giambiish" to me...
It would be interesting to see how long this lasts Helton...
Helton is one of those players who was pretty outspoken about steriods.
Well, you can be pretty bold in saying that about steroids if HGH is what you've taken and they'll never catch you using that..
That's something that makes me go hmmmm?
Make sure all hear my calling out of Todd Helton as a suspect.....
