F him and F the Mets for being his prisoner. When you saw I started the thread you just knew there were no numbers involved, piss taking yes, numbers no.

This is me...because Edgy asked I will say the Braves though, they are less annoying than the Phillies and truth be told I don't have a strong dislike for the Braves. They year in year out seem to develop major league players and always make that trade for a run, they're a solid club.

I am not even sure where this thread fits , it inspired many emotions while reading it, it's moving, sad, brilliant, inspiring. http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/15131

I read a comment a week or so ago about how Showalter may have cost the O's the top draft pick because they played " a little to good" when he came on board. When you're a fan of those teams are you rooting for that pick?
