Trout MVP!

Pete is basically calling him a pussy

[Sciosciapath]

Pete had the Blue Jays moneyline

[IEAngelsfan]

Yeah Pete.

 

I'm sure you also walked to school uphill both ways in the snow.

[YouthofToday]

Rose's comments sound like they came from a dude with CTE.

[Docwaukee]

I guess it makes sense that Pete wouldn't realize he's been hit in the head so many times it's made him a complete idiot on top of being a douchebag.  

[Tyler]

Yes, it is different from the test dummy era of sports.

The FS1 postgame "sportscenter" guys were poking fun at Pete Rose's jingling jewelry while he made that comment.

[Palomar]

The thing is there are rules in place when there is a "possible" concussion.  Donaidson may not have had a choice whether to come out or not.

[Jobu]

Pete calling himself "light headed" is about as close to true self reflection that we'll ever see from the guy.

[Stradling]

I liked Pete Rose the player. Since then he's basically a self serving prick.

[yk9001]

The extra, extra heavy dye job looks fantastic.

Don't confuse Pete with facts.

rose the player was ideal. 

 

rose since then has been nothing but total douche-baggery-ousness.

 

 

there's a sports memorabilia auction sight i frequent and they're selling all kinds of interesting things. one of them that's up for auction each week is a pete rose signed baseball that says "i'm sorry i bet on baseball."

 

one of the greatest players ever has become a completely laughable caricature.

i caught part of their "report" last night. wow.

 

as much as we all make fun of espn for being a bunch of clowns, dorks, and homers, the FS1 guys dig deep and are about a zillion times worse.

They're late to the game and they have a lot of catching up to do.

Call him whatever you want but the man knows how to play the game of baseball better than almost any mother****er alive. 

 

Period. 

[Jobu]

Period.

Not too familiar with the rules, however.

[Homebrewer]

Never liked Pete, and I'm old enough to have seen him play in person.

He was a great hitter, and it really is too bad that he was such a slimeball, on and off the field.

He got his payback, and I still laugh at it all..

Couldn't happen to a bigger asshole.

[ABC]

I bet he was coked up during his playing days.

[Jay]

Yes, it is different from the test dummy era of sports.

Now the league does a better job of protecting its investments.

[disarcina]

ah, I like Rose on the Fox pre and post game stuff..........he really sticks out like a real sore thumb -- a throwback player paired with the likes of retired players who are too young to remember Pete Rose's playing days and what it took to play the game back then.......

 

I like Rose because he's sort of like the Donald Trump of these baseball analyst guys -- he's doesn't stick to any script, he isn't politically correct - he just lets the comments fly -- and YES about 95 percent of them reference him, his records ('the hit King') and his playing days.........but sort of refreshing from the usual commentary and isn't afraid to call guys out........

 

entertaining to say the least......

[bloodbrother]

Agreed. He's a good punching bag and takes on the role of village idiot amongst the rest of the analysts
