Don't forget Lugo, they'll need someone to blame for when the house gets busted.My nightmare house would be:
UUU
Brandon Puffer
Cordero
Wright
Alcantara
Chauffeurs: Drake Britton and Bobby Jenks

Lackey gets bumped to the stable where he belongs.Great point. Maybe he bumps Lackey? Or maybe Pierzsfewrerewr. I always wondered if some of the AJ hate is that he's kind of smart.
You're right. May need to bump Wright to my grocery store runnerDon't forget Lugo, they'll need someone to blame for when the house gets busted.
Except for that unfortunate ambush of Eck he pulled off a couple of years ago..I'm going with House 5 if for no other reason than by all accounts JBJ is just really a nice guy. Koji and Eovaldi both seem like they'd be good dudes too.
Are you referring to this lone tweet that JBJ posted thanking Eck for the motivation after Eck criticized him? A single tweet hardly constitutes an "ambush" and it was five years ago to boot. Who gives a flying shit?Except for that unfortunate ambush of Eck he pulled off a couple of years ago..
If you want to. No particular rules really.Can we rearrange into five themed houses?
- Olympus, where the gods live: Pedro, Big Papi, Pedey, Sale, Foulke
- The Goofballs: Manny, Millar, Victorino, Napoli, Koji
- Intensity, (aka the Twitchies): Tek, Gomes, Nomar, Vaz, Youk
- Normalcy: Mitch, JBJ, Lowell, Benny, Foulke
- IHOP (International House of Players): X, E-Rod, Devers, Dice-K, Eovaldi
Foulke's a God now?Can we rearrange into five themed houses?
- Olympus, where the gods live: Pedro, Big Papi, Pedey, Sale, Foulke
- The Goofballs: Manny, Millar, Victorino, Napoli, Koji
- Intensity, (aka the Twitchies): Tek, Gomes, Nomar, Vaz, Youk
- Normalcy: Mitch, JBJ, Lowell, Benny, Foulke
- IHOP (International House of Players): X, E-Rod, Devers, Dice-K, Eovaldi
Good list, but I'd sub in Nomar for Lansing.Worst house: any one with Schilling.
Axctually, the worst would be
Schilling
AJ Pierzerwerwerwerwe
Mike Lansing
Carl Everett
Jon Lackey
This is an old argument, but it seems disingenuous at best to describe it as "thanking" Eck. He's not expressing gratitude there, he's delivering snark, and setting up a photo of him buddying up to Eck in order to deliver the snark more effectively is not a good look. But on the scale of athletes' misbehavior toward media people it's very small beer, and insufficient evidence to a support a charge of general douchiness.Are you referring to this lone tweet that JBJ posted thanking Eck for the motivation after Eck criticized him?
I understand that it was snark. I probably should have put thanking in quotes. I agree with you that it is minor and a poor attempt at humor certainly doesn't indict the guy's overall character.This is an old argument, but it seems disingenuous at best to describe it as "thanking" Eck.

Um...yes, that is exactly what I was referring to. I got the timeline wrong though that has little bearing on my opinion on the matter. And I'm struggling to understand why an ambush needs more than one event to be described as an ambush?Are you referring to this lone tweet that JBJ posted thanking Eck for the motivation after Eck criticized him?

Is there a story here?Definitely NOT House 2 for me. Pedro only gets to call me a f*cking asshole once in his life.
This is a great analysis, and I'm there too. (So @ElcaballitoMVP might therefore change his mind).It's gotta be House 1 for me.
Youk- I always appreciated a good eye at the plate, but most importantly beer. Youk makes beer.
Nomar- Always seems to be in a good mood, might be OCD so he would keep the place clean and bonus points if Mia comes with him.
Devers- We're gunna need a translator because my Spanish sucks, but that's why we have Papi. I'll throw BP to those two all day if I get to watch them work.
Mitch- Glue guy who can keep the crew in a good mood, always coming up with ideas for fun stuff to do like fishing, hunting and camping.
Papi- Coronavirus got ya down? Not with BIG FUCKING PAPI around. This guy puts a smile on my face every time I see him.
FWIW, last season I was at a Dodgers game and Nomar was providing commentary for the TV broadcast....from the left field bleachers. And in between the action on the field he took pictures with everyone and signed autographs, all with a big smile.This is a great analysis, and I'm there too. (So @ElcaballitoMVP might therefore change his mind).
In 2004, I'd have wanted no part of living with Nomar... but everytime I've seen him over the last few years, he seems relaxed and cheerful. I'm old enough that Yaz is indelibly down as my #1 favorite player of all time, but I wouldn't want to live with him for five minutes. Nomar is definitely top 5 in terms of how much I loved watching them play in their prime, and he seems to have aged really really well.
Also if I'm living with Youk, the brother-in-law might drop by and that'd be a great bonus.
Ha. I've posted it on SOSH somewhere before, but here it is. I was 15, Pedro was in his prime and my little brother (4 or 5 yrs old) and my Dad went to get autographs before the game outside the players parking lot. We'd lay on our stomachs and reach under the fence and players would sign stuff as they walked by.Is there a story here?
Was Pedro pitching that day? May have been getting hyped up for his start.Ha. I've posted it on SOSH somewhere before, but here it is.

We'd lay on our stomachs and reach under the fence and players would sign stuff as they walked by.
We're out there with a pretty big crowd, with a few guys my age near me and they had heckled a few players here and there. My Dad actually asked them not to be rude to Pedro. Pedro walks by, ignores all of us pleading for his autograph and doesn't sign a thing. Bummer. One of the kids near me yells, "Pedro, you never sign anything!"- that was it- and, well, Pedro went off. He stopped, turned back to the crowd and walked up to the gate. He picks out who he thinks said it, lucky me, and points at me and says, "You! You're a fucking asshole! I'll remember your face. You'll NEVER get my autograph" and my jaw hit the floor. I replied, "Pedro, we love you", not really sure what else to say. He proceeds to continue his rant about how he signed for 2 hours the night before and no one appreciates that or anything else he does for the city and how he was sorry that the kids had to hear this before storming off.
That pretty much ended the autograph session and everyone started to go in for the game. As we walked past the players lot entrance, a team employee stops us and says "Hey, Pedro is really sorry for what just happened and wants to give you something. Can you wait here a minute?" Okay...Pedro realized he screwed up and he's going to make it right. We wait a few mins, the employee comes back with an autographed ball. So we walk away happy. And then I looked at the ball and said, "Dad, this says Tim Wakefield". Wake had entered just before Pedro and must've heard what happened and signed a ball for us. That ball is now referred to as "The Tim Wakefield autographed ball that Pedro wanted to give me for calling me a fucking asshole". Pretty memorable day at the ballpark.
Nope. He was one of the last guys to show up before the game, which is why everyone took off after he yelled at me. Incredibly, the Sox lost 22-1 to the Yankees that day. Pedro pitched the next day and lost 3-1 to Pettitte, according to the internet. Quite an experience.Was Pedro pitching that day? May have been getting hyped up for his start.
