Official Fuck You Friedman, Zaidi, Kasten, Byrnes, and Dave Roberts thread

[realmofotalk]

No Greinke, no Price, no Heyward, no Upton, no Cespedes, no Gordon, no Chapman, no Fernandez. But yay, they brought Fat Joe Blanton back and re-signed Brandon Beachy for some reason. And we're stuck paying Andre Ethier $18 million and Carl Crawford $21 million in each of the next two years to platoon left field even though neither can hit lefties.

Looks like it'll be 28 years and counting, and no Vin after this season. Let the good times roll!!

[realmofotalk]

It goes without saying a big fat Fuck You goes to Colletti (and Kasten again) for the Ethier and Crawford albatrosses.

[realmofotalk]

Why the fuck is Fat Joe Blanton on the roster? I've had enough of this Tampa Bay sabermetric shit that Andrew Fraudman is trying install here that isn't working. Stop trying to outsmart everyone in the leage and just make simple sound decisions. FFS.

[BuckFoston]

I can't provide an intelligent response to your last couple of questions so I figured I would at least provide some entertainment to try to help you out.

[realmofotalk]

So they didn't want to sign Cespedes because "too many outfielders", but now Crawford was DFA'd, Ethier's leg bone may never heal, Joc is hurt, Trayce was slumping before going on the DL, Howie Kendrick is playing out of position in left field and who the fuck is Zach Walters.

[realmofotalk]

Kershaw ded.

But so is Greinke, so I guess the lesson is to never try.

[dgfred]

Ouuuuuchhhh for my fantasy team too.

[realmofotalk]

Fucking Brett Anderson.

Why the fuck did they choose not to re-sign Zack Grein-....oh.

[realmofotalk]

I'm just dumbfounded how many shitty starters...er..veteran rotational "depth"...have gotten chances this year before more deserving candidates like De Leon and Cotton.

Maybe I don't understand how sabermetrics work?

[BuckFoston]

McCarthy has been doing good.. Right? In all seriousness though, his first two or three outings were pretty good weren't they?

[realmofotalk]

McCarthy and Brett Anderson are worthless ballplayers.

But oh they're both such approachable personalities on Twitter. Whoopee-fucking-do.

[realmofotalk]

Anderson sucks a big one again. This fucker should have been allowed to leave as a free agent, but in typical nerd overthinking, Farhan and Fraudman thought he was worth offering $15 million in the off-chance that somebody stupider than they are would offer a better deal and they would get an arby pick. Fucking nerds.

[dgfred]

First place blues?

[BuckFoston]

With all the injury problems with their rotation, the Dodgers are in first and look like they are in a better spot than the Giants. Pretty awesome stuff. I like watching the Dodgers beat the Giants.
