Jesus.   For a second there I thought I was in the gay version of the Holy Erections thread.    Bonertime.   OVER.

Apparently the yellonator is a baseball insider now: 

QuoteLet's get started, then. As first posted by tomas21 earlier this afternoon in this FanPost, Milton Bradley may be on his way to becoming a Detroit Tiger. This rumor was confirmed to me from my own sources, so I think this possibility does have legs, and I hope it happens, sooner rather than later.

What a quantifiable douche.

He's 5'6 when he bats lefty, but 6'2 when he hits righty.

Maybe 6'2 when he played the infield in 08'.     But since then, they've resurfaced the field.   

There was a new guy in the booth today for the Reds announcers.   It was some guy named Krench,  coupled with one of their usual cocksmooch's calling.     I'm hear to tell you,   it was the best called game I have ever heard by Reds announcers.   Bar None.    And that's including numerous wrong calls,  pronouncing 28% of the Cubs names wrong,  and capped off by both of the announcers stating that the homer hit by Baker in the 8th was switch hitting Fontenot.     
Let that sink in.   Not only is Fontenot not a switch hitting player,  he's also about 4-6 inches shorter than Baker,  doesn't wear glasses, ,,,,  and you know.... doesn't have the name BAKER stenciled in on his fucking jersey.
Baker rounded the bases,  and was in the dugout before they corrected themselves.   
But once again.   Best announcing I've ever heard from the Reds Announcers.   Stellar.

Speaking of "totally unlistenable" and wishing death upon people, Joe Buck needs to be pushed off the roof at Wrigley.  

More to the point,  what is the reasoning behind letting these assholes on the air to begin with.    Why do people like Joe Buck,  Thom,  and Carey the lesser get to be announcers simply because their fathers were?     Its like someone believes that there is an announcer gene,  and it somehow runs in the family?

And what kind of asshole television station interrupts the games action to listen to the blathering of Larry King go on and on about a music CD that McCarver has cut?    Then they force us to listen to it going into commercial?  

This raises a good point. What test audiences are telling FOX that Buck and McCarver are enjoyable to listen to? I can't even imagine Cardinal fans like Joe Buck and McCarver, do they?

OR

Would we, being cynical pricks just hate any national announcer? I mean it's a guarantee that at some point that announcer would say something that would really get on our nerves.

Chicken? Egg? Meh.

I really don't hate Al Michaels. Or Marv Albert. Greg Gumbel's ok. I like Gus Johnson. And clips of women showering together.

I'll agree with you on all of those points, actually. So it's clear. FOX wants us to be miserable.

On a national level,   I don't hate everyone....  But they are few and far between.    I like Jon Miller,  but its tough to disseminate because he works with hacks on ESPN.   He's good with Krukow when he does Giants broadcasts.   O'brien is good.    Matt Vasgersian is steak balls.   Costas is great. 
Liking Joe Buck is equivalent to preferring tranny sex to homo sex.    Both are horrible because you end up taking one in the pooper,  but at least when the tranny fucks you doggy style you can feel boobies on your back.

St. Louis is to Chicago as Cleveland is to NY.

Except the fact that the town that has the inferiority complex is a town that actually wins baseball championships

That's why its so mind bottling.

One St. Louis columnist likens DeRo to Shaq (I am NOT making this up):

Bryan Burwell is an idiot by Sun-Times standards.

I just read this fucking thing,  and while my eyes bled a little bit,   did this guy finally admit to something that I can never get any one of my Cardinal buddies to admit too?   The fact that they are much like Cleveland in which they have a inferiority complex?

QuoteYou will see soon enough how this is a Cardinals story, so bear with me. Presumptuous Knicks fans have thought for a while that it was a foregone conclusion that James would be leaving Cleveland as a free agent after next season. They couldn't imagine a circumstance where a smaller Midwest city with a serious inferiority complex to the Big Apple (hmmm, now does that sound familiar?) would ever have a chance to hold onto its superstar once New York began singing its favorite sports siren song (The lyrics? "Money, money, monnn...eeeey!").

Just another reason to go watch another team,   a poll says that a majority of our moron fans agree with other stupid morons.

Ugh.   Reading that article is like the time I lived in Decatur and slept with 7 fat chicks in less than a year.    I hate myself.  Excuse me now,  I'll be performing Seppuku momentarily.

I guess we know what you like to eat, but have you prepared your death poem?

If I'da known that there was going to be poetry involved by being a Cubs fan,   I would of just watched Soccer instead.

I haven't lived in Chicago for about 10 years so its a little hard to get the temperature sometimes,  but does this fucking dork think that now that the city is sans Mariotti writing for a major paper,,  he needs to step up to the plate?    Or has he always produced columns that were this shitty?

He just reeks of hack.  A bloviating feckling uncompromising hack.     It seems that he says outrageous things,  just to say outrageous things. 

Is he the new Mariotty?

This was from 5/24:

"We've talked about Jake, but where do you put him?" Piniella said. "We know he's swinging the bat really well. ... If he could play third base, that would be an obvious place. He's been playing third base a little more in Triple A, but that's a tough position to play.

He can't be much worse than Freel and Fonty.   Can he?    In the last week or so we've watched these two queers drop foul balls,  lose footraces,  and just generally look like monkeys having sex with door knobs.     And we haven't hated them for it,  we hate them because they cannot hit a baseball.    
Having a nice rack helps me overlook buttered faces.

Fox had a 1.59 ERA at Iowa, so, it's Iowa. 

Lou basically said that Wells is staying (though if he craps out in his next start all bets are off) and either he or Marshall will go to the bullpen when Z comes back.  Samardzija will be back at some point.  Ascanio showed promise last year but he got rocked progressively harder as May turned into June and then July.  But he's only "24".

I would think there's enough there to cobble together a bullpen, just not with Patton or Cotts.  Holy shit does Neal Cotts suck.

The Patton experiment needs to end now. That'd be a step in the right direction.

I concur. He didn't spend all that time in the sticks because of a clerical oversight.

I thought the whole logic behind Patton playing in the bigs was the "he doesn't get rattled" theory.   (I think Lou said this?)    Which,  I suppose is a good thing.   But it shouldn't be the reason to get promoted.    If that was the case Zambrano would have never got out of Pony League.

Has he always done this?   Or has it just been since the brain surgery?    I feel strange sitting in my living room looking at some senile old man and wondering if he just gave Ravich a BJ during commercial break.     Its mildly disturbing.   

The nerve of that asshole, coming back from a massive brain hemorrhage at age 61 to keep doing his job, only to make you wonder if he gave his co-anchor a blow job during the commercial break.  That IS disturbing.

So what your sayin,  it's recent?
