Dan Uggla, worst All-Star performance ever?

    Keep in mind you can NOT draw walks and make outs. He makes hits.
    That's why his NWGH Triage is good (Not Walk, Gets Hits)

    Well, I'll suggest that Uggla now leads the majors in roffls and lollers.

    I heard his OHFUCK Quotient took a rise, too.

    Not to defend him, but Uggla didn't get sent to New York for his glove. Hurdle would have been fine to use him as a DH.

    Works all-star performance ... I'd like to enter Tom Glavine's start where he gave up a dozen straight hits before he recorded an out (or whatever it was). I don't know how that would compare to Uggla's performance, but in my mind it's at least equal.

    In 1992?

    Glavine actually got Roberto Alomar out to begin the game, then allowed seven straight singles -- Ripken was thrown out trying to stretch a single -- before striking out Kevin Brown to end the inning. Glavine went 1 2-3 innings, giving up five runs on nine hits for a tidy 27 ERA.

    You know, I had 1998 in mind, but 1992 was the worst for him.

    sorry Buck, I know it hurt to have that wound reopened ;D

    '92 was far worse, I gotta say. I barely even remembered '98.

    '92 was among the all-time worst, no doubt.

    I had that game memorized for years. It was the product of boredom and a love for baseball.
