If any of you watched last night, what did you, or better yet, what did JD say about Lester's performance?

He was getting hit hard a lot. His average fastball velocity last night was down about 2 mph from last year, which is obviously quite a bit. It seems to me like his stuff just isn't quite there yet and that it's less a command problem.

I think that's why the ITS TOO EARLY shit bothers me. Obviously the spring training injury that we were told wasn't an issue was an issue. He's not in season shape yet and he'll probably be fine once he is, but it's fair to wonder just how long it's gonna take him to get up to speed and wonder how many games it might cost the team before he does without being a ledge jumper.

I think Twitter is the problem, since people don't have room to fully explain their points. If you say "Lester doesn't look very good at the moment" people assume you're actually saying "Lester is bad and this contract was a mistake." I do not have a solution.

I read a fair amount of that talk on Facebook from the type of people who don't understand the Epstink Is Terrible joke is on them.

and the one guy who took it too far and just posted something unfunny every single day in terrible meatballese.

One guy?  There's half a dozen of the cunts, missing the joke in new and exciting ways every day.  They took a beautiful idea, and reduced it to badly-spelled rubble.  It makes me want to fucking weep.

So, you know... thanks, Fork.

That's like blaming Deep Purple for every shitty cover of "Smoke On The Water".

Except, it's more like if Deep Purple kept inviting every mook they ever met onto the stage, handing them guitars, then leaving while giving the finger to their fans.

I could give two shits about Bort, but Dylan Connelly sent me a friend request on Facebook and now I hate Fork more than ever.

I got one from him months ago.  I haven't rejected it yet, purely so that every time I go into Facebook, I can continue to ignore it.

I wonder why I haven't gotten one. You guys must suck at Epstinking if he thinks you're cool.

Can I both hate this guy (a ton) and also hate that quote from Josh Hamilton? 

"He knew what the deal was when he signed me. Hands down, he knew what he was getting, what the risks were. Under the (joint drug agreement), it is what it is."

Because that's a seriously shitty thing to say also, regardless of how poorly they treated him.

I'm not sure.  I think it's possible this was discussed at length during his contract negotiations and he now perceives what he was told back then to be either insincere at the time or sincere but since violated.  It's probably more than just "they knew they were getting a druggie, so tough shit."
