List your top three favorite MLB players (AL or NL, either is fine) and then list the top three you hate most(AL or NL, either is fine)

 

My favorite MLB players are:

 

Kerry Wood

John Smoltz

Mark DeRosa

 

 

The players I hate most:

 

Horacio Ramirez

Jason Schmidt

Greg Maddux

(funny how they're all pitchers, eh?)

I don't keep up with it enough to know three I like that much or hate that much.

 

But when I did keep up with it my favs were...

 

Barry Bonds (when he played for the Pirates)

Eric Davis

and

Mike Schmidt or Steve Carlton

 

As for the hated ones, I don't know.

 

 

So I guess I'd have to say Bonds is my fav now, just because he's the only one on that list still around.

 

I know I don't like Giambi or Jeter.

Reggie Jackson

 

dislike:

Bonds

I-Rod (greedy &$^#*)

anyone that doesn't hussle in the outfield

I'm not too big a fan of Sheffield anymore either, cause it seems like he went to the yankees only because he wanted a ring.

 

And Bonds stature doesn't allow him to make mind boggling plays like Andruw Jones very often. I don't really think it's fair that he gets walked everytime he goes to bat though, just cause he can hit. Ramirez and a few of the other pitchers must be pretty scared of him.

 

The Cubs and the Braves are rivals to each other in my eyes, but I believe that Kerry Wood is the up and coming Smoltz (I mean an excellent pitcher, not a Braves player), I may be wrong though

    • A complete delete is the most thorough mechanical solution, but it is also major engine work. On a quiet truck that is still under extended warranty, opening the engine purely as prevention is difficult to justify. A plug-in disabler stops commanded cylinder deactivation, but it does not remove or repair the collapsible lifters, so it should not be treated as failure insurance. I would keep the oil full, document the maintenance, and have any persistent tick, misfire, or loss of power diagnosed promptly. If the engine eventually has to come apart, that is the logical time to compare an OEM-style repair with a complete delete. The right choice depends on the truck’s symptoms, warranty status, expected ownership period, and whether the engine already needs to be opened. We explain that decision in more detail here—full disclosure, this is our own guide: https://www.bluev8.com/blogs/news/do-you-actually-need-an-afm-disabler   One exception: some 2021 L82/L84 trucks have RPO YK9, meaning cylinder deactivation was already disabled in the factory ECM; on those trucks a plug-in disabler is redundant, although the AFM/DFM hardware remains inside the engine.
    • Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?  
    • I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery. 
    • The lifter issue can be dealt with by shorter oil changes and quality oil IMO.
    • Got heavy rain, hail and light rain yesterday.
