The problem with the notion of over-rated and under-rated is who's doing the rating.

In the lofty world of my own head, apparently I've overrated Willy T and underrated Jason Lane.  I would've benched Lane and kept Taveras starting.

I know a guy named Carl something, Carl Dudes I think, who'd probably be able to help you.  Give him a call some time, but be prepared because he's probably gonna ask you what your choices are.  Don't worry though, anything you say will be okay, and you'll probably receive a good-natured chuckle from ol' Carl.  He might even ask some of his friends to give their opinions on the subject of your query, and it could stoke a pretty deep dialectic.  Good luck with your journey, Indiana Astro.  God speed.  I know that some day you will ease your flummoxed mind and find out who indeed is the most overrated and most underrated Astro.  You must discover the truth Indiana, do not, I repeat, DO NOT, stop until you have found it.  But be careful, because there are those out there who do not want you to find it.  These people might seem like your allies, they might even seem like your best friend, but you must not let them derail you.  You must stay true to your vision, stay true to your quest, keep asking this question and do not accept false answers.  Ask ask ask until the world becomes so tired of hearing it, so tired of giving diversionary non-commital platitudes, that they have no choice but to give the truth to you, no choice but to squeeze out the answer, the revelation of who indeed is the most underrated and most overrated astro.

[A]pparently I've... underrated Jason Lane.





I've spent the last few minutes musing on how and indeed whether this is possible.

As far as I know Don Messick was the only one to voice Astro.
Everyone's talking, few of them know
The rest are pretending, they put on a show
And if there's a message I guess this is it
Truth isn't easy, the easy part's shit

um...  What was that?  

My opinion is Qualls & Wheeler.  I think there is something political going on between Qualls & Garner.

Yes. You may not realize it yet, but your's is a really stupid post.

My advice is to just read for this season. Perhaps post next year.

There are boards well suited to inane conversations such as "most over/under rated". This isn't one of them

Overrated: Astrology - Buncha hooey.

Underrated: Astrophysics - Smart shit for smart people.

SO DO I!!!!

I read in the morning tabloid the following:

Garner: I am your manager.
 
Chad: Well I didn't vote for you.
 
Garner: You don't vote for managers.

Chad: Well how'd you become manager then?
 
Garner: The Yvette of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite held aloft Wonderboy from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Philip, was to carry Wonderboy. THAT is why I am your manager.
 
Chad: Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' bats is no basis for a system of team government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

I was once approached by Terry Puhl in a parking garage who claimed that Gerald Young had pictures of Hal Lanier and Dick Wagner in well let's say a compromising position.

What that has to do with this, well, that's for you to judge, but for me...it put a lot of things into perspective.

Underrated:  Tripp Cromer.  Overcome devastating emotinal issues to become, briefly, an integral part of the team.

Overrated:  J.R. Richard.  Went down with a massive stroke in 1980.  In the middle of a fucking pennant race!  Pussy.

Only way to tell is if he answers Chris Burke to half of the question, then, wait 3 days, he answers Chris Burke to the other half of the question.
