Re: Tales of Nomar's Demise have been Greatly Exaggerated [Reply to #3222]

Now that I have some time off from class, let me go off on Nomar for minute. I want to like the guy now that he isn't in Boston anymore. I really do. The guy is young, Latin,and married to a hot female soccer star. Ideally, he is who I would want to be. The kicker is, he cannot stay healthy. It's almost annoying how we only see short flashes of this guy and then back to the DL. I think when healthy, his play yields all the stardom of Jeter or A-Rod. I use those two specifically becuse the casual lady fan know who those guys are along with the fellas. Nomar should have commercials, movie roles, crossover Latin market appeal, etc. I should see Nomar on my mothers novelas(spanish soap operas) after his career ends. Unfortunately, none of this will happen if he doesn't play. My friends joke with me saying Nomar is "No-Mas" ,"No More Gariciaparra, or my favorite, "Nomar Garcia Para-Nada"(for nothing). Now yes, it is just mean, but that is the kind of flack one has to take as a public figure sometimes. So, as of right now I am still on the fence about the guy.
