As a backup OF in 99, he played in 108 games, but didn't hit as well, going .228 with a .420 BA.He was one of the few bright spots in the dim year 2000, lUVving the Box, going .314 with a .636 SLG 42 doubles, 3 triples, 44 HRs, and he was replica Panerai PAM00049 Men's watch rewarded with a 4 year 32 mill contract, buying out his arb years and the first year of FA.Bad gamble.He was merely mediocre the first year a 104 OPS+, was lousy the second year with a 93 OPS+ and managed a last hurrah in 2003 hitting .302 with a .572 SLG although he only hit 22 homers.In 2004, he sank out of sight with a .239 BA and a .412 SLG.
He didn't walk very much and struck out a lot not quite Preston Wilson a lot, but almost as much.This ST he batted .136 with 1 HR and too many Ks.What little I saw of his arm was NOT impressive.He looked 40, not 30.Sigh.And talking of bad, Jason Jennings stunk it up today limp FB 8 hits (including a leadoff homer and 3 doubles) replica Panerai PAM00024 Men's watch, 4 ER in 5 IP.And talking more about bad, I wanna talk about driving after drinking, which is bad.Let me say, first of all, that I know that when it comes to celebrities it's just Animal Farm all animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.Next, I am not talking about this just because TLR is the Cards manager I would be talking about this if the offender was the, say, Mariners manager or the Marlins manager or the ASTROS manager.
Fact is that TLR was out late at night, he was drinking, and instead of calling a cab, he decided to drive after he had been drinking.And lets not forget to include if he was with friends, they didn't see anything wrong with him doing just that.Fortunately for other people who happened to be out driving, TLR didn't fall asleep drunk with his foot on the replica Panerai PAM00112 Men's watch gas instead of the brake.I've read all sorts of columns and comments about this and I sure do read a lot of “well, he just made a mistake and he needs support” and a whole lot of “well, how many of you criticizing TLR for doing this haven't done the same thing your own self or made mistakes your own self” or “well, it's his first DUI” not, well, it's the first time he ever drove drunk impaired.
