Taking shots at K-Rod

[soupcan]

Now we all know that's not gonna happen.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Very haterly of me, but I never warmed to Wagner even a little. He can go screw an alpaca for all I care.

I give him a little cred for rehabbing so hard. If I were 38, due to make (a lot of) guaranteed money this year and my team had replaced me with 2 capable players, I would probably move to Mexico and sip Margarita's all day. I do admire his drive and competitiveness...even if he is mostly a dick.

I just dislike journalists who take cheap and easy snarks.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Agreed about the hypersensitivity to bias-- likely a function of "kid brother" status in the eyes of most local media/observers from out-of-town (see also: Chicago White Sox, Los Angeles Angels of Not Los Angeles, New Jersey Nets/Devils, Los Angeles Clippers).

Also, I'm not a professional Met fan. Being held to higher standards comes with the paycheck (and/or journo degree).
