Vlad not mentioned for 2009 milestone

When we speak of milestones for 2009.. I find it sad and disturbing that one of this generations greatest hitters and persons does not have mention of his accomplishments. Vladimir Guerrero is 8 HR shy of 400 for his career,one that has been consumate and professional.. I think Mr.Singer maybe that 400 isnt a good number for you.. Maybe it doesnt mean anything to you,yet you can talk about 2 closers coming in on 300 for there career.but no mention of a great person and player that is Vladimir Guerrero.. I for one can not wait for that day and when it comes,though most won't pay no mind,will be happy for Vlad... Lets not forget 2000 hits that went unnoticed,or anything elkse he has done in his career... This was an article wriiten about what to expect in 2009 by Tom Singer..No mention of Vlad Guerrero at all....disgusting.Happy New Year to all Angel fans.. Remember we still have a great team and to stay POSITIVE !

I don't see this article as a snub to Vlad

at all. Hey, Giambi has 396 hr’s and he wasn’t mentioned either.
The guy was just writing a general interest article.

That must be one ugly hangover you’re nursing.

Saving countless runs with my defense.

Painful read.

All I was saying is I don’t get how a player like that doesnt have mention of an upcoming milestone…A-rod is mentioned being 47 hr away from 600…so why arent Guerrero and Giambi mentioned ?? Are there accomplishments any less ?? I don’t think.. I know it wasn’t a snub at Guerrero,stil am just amazed at how under the radar his career has been. For the record I don’t drink…

Within striking distance of 600 in your mid-30s is more of an accomplishment

than being within striking distance of 400 in your mid-30’s.

a reply to my post on MLB.com I thought I would share !

Vlad Guerrero sucks. And you Angel’s fans are just mad that your team is old and one year away from losing control of your division. Your GM is a moron, Gary Matthews Jr and Torii Hunter, really? How’s that working out for you? The Teixeira trade looks great right now, doesn’t it? Maybe you guys should sign another 2002 All Star. And your coach is a fat d0uche bag that thinks he’s in the National League. I am going to smile a hge smile in 2009 when you d0uches miss the playoffs.
