Who, according to the SI Players Poll is the 2nd most overrated player in MLB (behind Jeter).
I’d say he’s not overrated anymore; just overpaid.

the effed-up thing is that I’m always kind of excited when Zito is up, thinking that this’ll be the start… and, without fail, I’m disappointed.

I’m always kind of excited to see just how bad he’ll be this time.
Does that make me a sociopath?

You mean it doesn’t piss you off when he falls apart? If so, you’re either a sociopath, or have achieved some kind of zen-like transcendence. Amounts to the same thing, I guess.
by BigO on Jun 25, 2008 4:01 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Maybe the first 7 or 8 times he fell apart I got pissed off. Now it’s expected. Toss in a bit of schadenfreude, and we’ve got ourselves a perverse reason to watch the ball game.
Or maybe I’m riding jponry’s sociopath bus.

I’m tired of seeing the headline on the Giants site that claims Vizquel’s bunt won the game. The only way he was getting that guy home was with a damn bunt. It’s not like he could hit the ball out of the infield. I don’t care if it’s Cleveland, give me Manny.

Damn it!
That would have been useful information before I believed.
Way to let the Giants down, timmeh.

Nobody wants Bonds, even for league minimum
From SI.com:
Teams have shied away, not wanting to deal with the glare of attention Bonds would bring. The outfielder, who turns 44 on July 24, has been offered by Borris to all 30 teams for a prorated share of the $390,000 minimum.Borris said Bonds even would play for free—offering to donate whatever salary he receives to purchase tickets for children.

MLB teams hate children.

Couldn’t Bonds sue for collusion? The idea that not a single of the 30 Major League teams could use his bat despite his age is offensive.

The players association has filed a complaint with the commissioner.

Does that even mean anything?
Does it have any effect or is it just a weenie complaint?

I’d do a whole lot more than complain. I’d sue all the owners and Bud Selig. Especially since they want to pretend like they had no clue about Baseball’s steroid problem which had been around since the Mid 80’s. There’s plenty of proof that they knew and the fact they really haven’t been held accountable yet want to blame the players is a joke.

WTF?
Another good Castillo defensive play!
I may need to stop the hating.
At least until he effs up again.

I don’t think we’ve even played the Dodgers since opening week.

correct
33-44.... But 23-8 when Timmy/Dirty pitch. 10-35 otherwise. 0-1 in games determined by BS calls.
