In this Huey vs. Dempster issue I'm torn between my hatred of Canadians and my hatred of the Irish.

I'd have to acknowledge Canada to hate Canada.

Is it ok if I hate Dempster irrationally?

This, to me, is actually perfectly acceptable.  

The only thing worse than having a really bad and incorrect reason to hate someone (see: Huey) is this crazy notion that we always need to have reason to hate in the first place.

As I've communicated to Huey several times, it would be much better if he just hated Dempster because of his stupid fucking face than to try and rationalize why he hates him for baseball reasons.

God, I hate Dempster's stupid fucking face.

I've always admired your skills in hating.

What the fuck? Opening Day is a big game?

That's just stupid.

March called.  It wanted to know why you waited 3 weeks to call me out on this.

And it is a big game.  They drape bunting all over the place!

Bort hasn't been this conflicted since the Fenian raids.

Snork sucks again. Shoulda traded him last week when he still had value. #epstinkisterrible

He wants us to be patient.  We shouldn't be persuaded the the team is bad on the basis of a bad homestand and a bad road trip.  Just because they can't hit, pitch, catch, throw or run doesn't mean that they aren't nice people.

Wood to DL, Dempster possibly to miss a start!

The race to 120 losses is underway!

It's worked out ok for Detroit since they got their asses kicked up and down the AL a many years back.

Hendry had nearly the same success over that time!
