Fisking



This Is my perception of "Fisking"

A couple of weeks ago one of the Big Bloggers had a title story called "Fisking". I thought alright! Being a Carlton Fisk fan, this has to be a story about Carloton Fisk. I was disappointed to find out that "Fisking" was a blogg term most often is used to implicate a line-by-line critisisim.
Oh "PUDGE" has been known to do a little criticizing by it was never line-by-line. The rivalry between Fisk and Munsen I don't believe was ever line-by-line. I would generate towards using the term bloggers call flamming to best describe the relationship between them. The story goes that when "PUDGE " got news that "Munsen had died in a plane crash" he cried right out in front of everybody. My favorite story about Carlton is, when he jumped Dion Sanders for not running out a pop-up. Carlton told him that he wasn't fit to wear a Yankees uniform. So as you can plainly see I have my own definition of what "Fisking" is.
This whole idea of this blogg happened when I called Steve the "Tom Seaver" of bloggers. He replied, If I am Tom Seaver, You are,"Carlton Fisk"! I found great honor in his reply.

Carlton Fisk's rookie is the best card I own. I remember I got for $12 worth of cards and a George Brett poster. Good old Royals fans. That also makes it best trade I ever made.
I got to meet Fisk once and there was a reporter there. This reporter went on a three-minute question that was really more of a story about how he once saw Fisk play this great game, and so on.
Fisk just stared at him like, "Yeah, dude I was there." It was great.
Finally, Ivan Rodriguez should never be called Pudge. It drives me crazy every time.
Fisk it!

You got your Fisk rookie card cheaper than I did. I gave up a 1967 Topps Mickey Mantle Card. I did get a lot of other cards to boot. But I wish had just payed cash. Yeah, I am like you i was used to calling Fisk "Pudge" then along came Ivan Rodriguez.

To this day I just call Ivan Rodriguez, Lil' Pudge. He had a great respect for Fisk and tried to model his early career after him.

Fisk will always be Pudge. Although the Commander fit him, it never stuck in my mind.
