F*** 2Frank! What the f*** does Jo-Jo Reyes have to do to get one measly f***ing win? Pitch a f***ing perfect game? Tonight's line: 7 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 7 K, 93 pitches, 59 strikes. Leaves leading 2-0...Houston wins 5-2. Surely to god John Farrell, you could've left him out there for another inning. He could probably have gotten through 8 the way he was going. Please baseball gods, just give the man a f***ing win for f***'s sake so I don't have to hear about this stupid f***ing streak anymore. Thank you. Ugh!...Aaargh!...Blargh!...FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-...
Yep, that one sucked.
Was playing my best friend the Show 11 tonite. And I'll be goddam if he didn't get every friggen call outside home plate. So dam ridiculous I got one hit.

Sometimes I shouldn't check out the A's results. Seeing Fuentes blow it makes me want to punch prez in the face.
I'm sorry for your lossQuote:

It was nice to see the 2 rookies (Espinosa and Ramos) each have a chance a hitting for the cycle though... :)

LOS ANGELES -- Police detained a suspect Sunday in the attack on a San Francisco Giants fan after Opening Day at Dodger Stadium, a brutal beating that prompted an outpouring of support for the victim and outrage in the sports world and beyond.
Sounds like Captain Success.Quote:
Among the people marched out of the building was a man with a bald head and tattoos on his neck and arms, Camacho said, a description that appeared to match the vague sketches released by police of one of the two suspects. She added that he did not appear to resist being taken into custody.
lololol @ Fuentes blowing it again. Man, there should be a Fuentes rule, everytime he enters the game, team automatically forfeits just to spare fans from the pain of it all.
Wonders how anyone can still be a Mets fan. It continues to amaze me just how dysfunctional they continue to be. While wilpons comments weren't that absurd they certainly were unnecessary and counterproductive.
There's room in red Sox nation for you metsguy. Its way past time to throw in that towel. Come on over and you can at least find some comedic enjoyment in the Mets.
Those were some pretty funny comments. I don't really see the harm, he's trying to sell the team anyway.
What's amazing is that Wilpon isn't the most dysfunctional owner in the league, and it's not even close.
He's trying to sell some of it, but he still wants to remain majority owner. At least that was the last I read of it.Quote:

Being dysfunctional IMO isn't about wins & losses though it usually comes with or leads to losing.Quote:

How does that make him dysfunctional?Quote:

1. "Do they want Castillo" (no), "Offer Castillo", (yes) "Accept on face, party"
2. Rogue Shirtless High Ranking Official
Because the entire top of the Mariners' operating structure is dysfunctional because the owner doesn't even follow the team.Quote:

whenever i hear this....i have to listen a second or third time. sorry mets fans...railing on the mets really is enjoyable to me for some reason.
and of course, there's always the Minaya / Manual argument. Classic;

Yeah but in the Mets corner, they've replaced him with a pretty competent guy now. Omar was an embarrassment, but he isn't one anymore. The Dodgers are still run by Colletti. Hell, there isn't a warrant out against 2 Mets fans for beating up some poor Phillies fan.Quote:

oh, i agree the dodgers are pi$$ poor. i don't hold the actions of a teams fans against the team for the most part, although the Dodgers may have some level of complicity there. I agree the Mets now have a competent GM...but the team is still a train wreck and will take some time to get back on track. They have got to destroy that embarrassment. Beltran, Reyes, the medical staff...heck, Wilpon even hurt the trade value of Wright with his comments and likely created sentiments that may lead to him not wanting to resign. Last week an easy pop-up in the infield in front of the pitcher pretty much took out their two best offensive weapons for crying out loud.Quote:

They got all kinds of gripe for not recognizing the history of the Mets, and every 35 seconds or so an airplane flies right over the stadium making it damn near impossible to hear!!! I'll leave the jokes regarding the naming of the stadium alone. Everything about the Mets is embarrasing right now.
a brand new billion dollar stadium and the Mets fu(k it up in every which-way possible. beautiful stadium..but WTF.

So dissolve the Mets and move the Dodgers back to "Ebbets Field". Problem solved. :)Quote:
