Matt LaPorta Grand Slam

[st123722]

i met this guy when i was a bat boy in az for the fall league =D he is quiet

[dangerdan941]

I'm friends with this guy's cousin, Jon Jon : )

[bellafarfalle]

Good job matt I see I'm proud of you brother, i Remember playing on the church league with you good luck with the indians

[22dario22jukic22]

good thing hes with the tribe now

[busacouple]

Manny is a one man wrecking crew that's for sure, but is any one really worth all that headache, or MONEY?

[dotanooblar]

unfortunately yes, hes absolutely clutch in the playoffs. In 2008 with the Dodgers he hit above .400 with 3 HR. tell me anyone in the playoffs that year with the same stats as that

[benmahesh]

that stadium is 5 minutes from my house =P

infact im playin a game there this year for high school against tuscoloosa county

[busacouple]

i say screw manny, give Matt a chance out in Left. Itll be interesting to see what the tribe does before the spring

[dotanooblar]

how can you say screw manny? Hes a freaken future hall of hamer without a doubt. I mean yeah he's getting old but he hit fucking over .400 during the playoffs with like 5 home runs

[beccabonz626]

I'm excited for him this season!

[elpana300]

leooo leooo leooo leooo leoo

[luis9romero]

aunq laporta fue un fracaso con caracas tiene pinta de ser una futura estrella

[GradyLadyGirl24]

Im so glad that the Indians get him. He will really do something for our team =D

[super34Trooper12]

funny how the red sox originally drafted him but then decided to finish college, the sox have the best eye for talent in the bigs

[dotanooblar]

i would have to agree they got an incredible farm system

[fmg420]

By the looks of the standings and payrolls... looks like the devil rays have the best eye for talent.

[ajh4]

no. its just tht they have sucked dick before this year and were getting all those high draft picks

[v1a8n9d4e1v8e9l4d1e8]

thank god the indians got him they need all the help they can get now

[soltoy00]

This guy is like a Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder all in one. You indians get a guy that can spray the ball over every section of the wall during every at bat. He's an ace pitchers worst nightmare.

[soltoy00]

Us true blue brewers fans are gonna miss you... go light on us in interleague play! Indian fans are gonna love u!

[prb85]

man i hope green is the PTBNL

[tribefan011]

So do I. I watched him last year with the Power.

[CMCproductionz]

hes an indian! : )

[Snarlez]

CC Is gone maybe to a better place for him... And if the brew crew wins the ring. more power to ya!  I however after watching this video I can see he Is going to be one of the best hitters in baseball. Of course If Shleton does not screw him up.

[boshfan25]

WELCOME TO CLEVELAND BUDDY

[daddykong1]

just been traded to cleveland!!!1

[btvsangel09]

please come to cleveland. please

[RugerRuss5]

please come to cleveland

[GreatestOfAllTime5]

Thanks for Sabathia! :)

[RugerRuss5]

man i hate to cc leave he was one of my favorites here but they werent gonna re-sign him. do you know who else the indians got for cc?

[GreatestOfAllTime5]

Zach Jackson, Rob Bryson and a player to be named later. Zach Jackson blows and Rob Bryson is a single A starter. But LaPorta is a beast, you guys will enjoy him.

[RugerRuss5]

alright thanks man. the indians do need a big bat in the lineup

[Snarlez]

I hope so... what If Andy Marte and LaPorta pan out? wow can you imagine that! That would be 70Hr's maybe more a year. We have depth In pitching still even though now It Is slim. So I hope this works our for both sides.

[GreatestOfAllTime5]

LOL, the same Andy Marte that's batting .100 this year with 0 homers and 1 rbi's?

[Snarlez]

haha I know god help him... but look at Brandon Phillips and If you know sports you should have that hunch that this Is what baseball was thinking with this trade. Shelton needs to go to triple A or else and the Triple A batting coach needs to come up he will do better than Shelton right now. Thankfully LaPorta Is not a bone head like Marte. Wishfull thinking!

[GreatestOfAllTime5]

Yeah man, anything can happen. Best of luck to you and your team.

[soltoy00]

move this guy to Nashville already!! I wanna see him pinch for the brewers by September :P

[tastybrownies]

It will be nice to see him in an Indians uniform soon.

[soltoy00]

haha i just hope that trade happens before the cubs get CC - that is, if thats what your referring to.

[theFRANCHISEpwnsP4P]

deal prince for pitching....put laporta at 1b (better defense) and move gamel to rf.

[soltoy00]

i hate to say it, but I think he will be princes replacement at some point. Probably not this season, but once arbitration is over, there's no way scott borasshole will be brewer friendly for prince

[BREWERBIGFLY]

What a great way to earn a paycheck!!! What Matt can do with a bat is change the score of the game with one swing!!!! A lot! 4 RUNS this time!

IN three words "THE TOTAL PACKAGE" in one word..."STUD"

[boone29]

STUD!!!!!

[SexyRexyLover8]

OMG I WAS AT THAT GAME. :]

He is soooo amazing!

We were talking to his uncle outside Joe Davis, and the next time he comes up here to Huntsville to see Matt, he'll arrange a meeting for us. :]]]
