@retirepujols True story, saw him play couple weeks back. He was booed at every AB. Ringing single in first AB then bomb almost completely out of stadium in second. Think he was hitting over .180 by end of the game.
I go to a ton of minor league baseball games, all over the northeast. Tebow has a huge following no matter where he goes. Home crowd or away crowd, he gets cheered everywhere. Even Phillies fans were cheering for him. Where did you see him @dustyhunks play and he got booed?
@ReadingFightingPhils Alec Bohm and Spencer Howard looking good up there in Reading. Hopefully they will be able to join the team in 2020, we sure need them!
@titsmcgee95 I was there last night for Jimmy Rollins hall of fame induction. Alec Bohm is a little sketchy on defense but has a big bat. Mickey Moniak looks much better over the last month and could be a 5 tool guy down the road.
We lost that game because three DL went down in the first half and we were already down our free safety and running back. Ben was hurt. Mendenhall was out. Hell, even our damn running backs coach was out (severely injured in a house fire that week). Did everything they could just to get to overtime. I picked Denver to win and got shredded for it because, despite the fact he played behind a top 3 defense, no one believed Tebow could do anything good enough to beat a pretty mediocre team at home.
Either way, the level of severity of the ass-beating we would have taken the following week at New England would have been, in my mind, worse than losing in the wild-card round. We would have had to sign DLs off the street to play the Patriots that weekend.
I know what you mean @bayoubengal. Really sucks that they didn't at least give us some LXP to start before legends but in the same token that is a good way to force a second box buy if you hit the first.
As a Broncos fan, when the Tebow Broncos (excuse me, as I just threw up in my mouth a little) beat your Steelers, it was an even worse day for me because I feared he would somehow become our long term QB. I couldn’t believe how many people, especially other Broncos fans, thought he was anything other than a fullback or tight end that could throw hard. I mean, the guy in @CanadaCubs profile pic was a much better QB than Tebow!!!
I’ve spent 15,000 gold so far. I’m at 30,000 lxp and I’ve hit several prime players, but I haven’t hit a legend player yet. Come on... I just want that Edgar!!!!!!
Oh they don't end, @retirepujols. The Broncos have since beaten the Steelers in the playoffs in Denver with a different quarterback and the only thing you hear about is Tebow.
Ozzie Smith, Ken Griffey Jr. Tom Glavine, Steve Avery, John Smoltz, Ted William's, Wade Boggs, Bo Jackson, Frank Thomas, Tony Gwynn, Chipper Jones, Carl Yastrzemski, Pedro Martinez, David Ortiz, Yogi Berra, Cal Ripken Jr. Pete Rose, Ricky Henderson

*update* 35 boxes... no legend player ☹️
I pulled Edgar on my second box. That officially makes up for my blue xp pull on the POTM box this morning.
Of course, the 1000 lxp i have didn't level Edgar very far. I imagine I will level him to Gold 10 in about a month, when 480 legends are out.
