I’ll bet Trot thinks Jesus put pine tar on his robes.

Designated for Assignment. IE released. Shitcanned. 86'd. Tossed overboard.

Yeah, last year Ortiz was because Arroyo was out all year with an injury, but Papi retired and Arroyo came back, so he’s the sole survivor.

Dear Lord, no.

Of all the guys on the 2004 team he’s the last one standing in the majors and one of the most unlikely to do so.

So I had to look up the raw numbers: Arroyo’s given up 22 home runs (!) in only 68 innings, which is nearly Lidge-vs- Pujols-esque.

The funniest line in this post was “Additional reporting by Tom Ley.”

Everything I’ve ever read about Winfield shows he was all class as a player and a person. So naturally The Boss had him tailed like a common pretty thief.

Straw was 6'6. McCovey was 6'4.

B-Ref has him at only 6' 3".

And he played 555 career games at Jack Murphy Stadium, one of the worst hitter’s parks in baseball history. Stick those years in say, Fenway or Wrigley and he’s probably at 600.

Bah, Winfield, of course. Such a great player. I never thought of him as Bunyon-esque like I do with Judge, but of course he was huge.

I said this about Jeter here a while ago: a nothing personality allows the fans to impress upon the player any positive ascept they like, without the fear of being proven wrong. Jeter said nothing notable in his long, storied career; Aaron Freaking Judge ain’t gonna go off on his own tangent.

I hear Suzyn loves him in the 2 hole.

This guy struck out in 25% of his PAs in the minors.

Shit. That’s much funnier than my original one. Damn you!

Man Who Hit Balls For A Living Doesn’t Want Men To Hit Balls For Fun.

Nashville has shown itself to be a true hockey town filled with real fans, because they booed the living shit out of Bettman last night, as is proper and right.

I would admire their personal courage, but then I remembered that they’re all most likely Steelers fans too, so here’s to rooting for botulism.

Porcello had a better ERA+, better WHIP, more wins, a higher WAR and a higher winning percentage than Sale did last year.
