2012 Vent Thread- For when you just need to

[BRAVE KID]

[samanjerry]

Who is to blame for Cons making the team?

[ATL-ALL-DAY]

Opening Day isn't here yet?!?! lol

[RaiderKid318]

I blame tebow

[BRAVE KID]

You can't blame good...you can only blame evil....and that most certainly are the raiders.

[Getting UGGLA]

I blame Obama, because he still blames Bush.

[samanjerry]

Braves traded away Jairo (or however you spells his name)
to sign Chad Durbin. watthefook

Im starting to question the hell wren and gonzo are doing with the team right now

"I’m excited about opening day. But these last 2 moves: adding Livan Hernandez and Chad Durbin are casting doubt and are quite worrisome in my mind. This shows we do not have much faith in the health of our starting rotation. Durbin has a career 5.10 ERA….i dont see where he fits? and Livan- hes just got nothing left. Bradley- what are your thoughts?"

"They’re a bunch of chokers. Two septembers in a row they choke. They have no leader and after an epic collapse, they make no changes, unlike say the Bosox. I see an 80 win season and larry going out with a thud."

"I’m calling Fredi Gonzalez an idiot – in a nice way."

"There is a fat man playing third base! Can he go to his left? Can he go to his right? Can he field high hoppers and slow rollers? How about choppers? We was thinking Heyward just gave Uggla an unnecessary fanny pat and we was thinking maybe there was too much hugging and fanny patting last year and we hope they will slow it down some this season."

"Oh, so THAT explains the hugs in the dugout the past year or so (for a long time hyenas were considered to be hermaphroditic. I won’t explain that here but you can look it up).

And hyenas, while typically grouped in packs, are more scavengers that prey on carrion or weak/dying animals than they are predators of strong, healthy beasts. Not exactly a compliment from my angle, Freddi, especially when allegorizing the personality of your baseball team."

"Oh, the humanity! Brian Jordan just said Uggla has some Pop-Pie Arms! Pop-pie? We just love listening to Brian Jordan because we learn things from him and he is already tipping his cap in the broadcast booth tonight."

"Mark, “just a guy in the bullpen” is the one who comes in when you’re a run down in the 7th inning. Having a very bad back-end bullpen (Linebrink, Sherrill, Martinez) is what caused Fredi to overuse the big 3 last season. I think you made that comment without thinking it through, because you are smarter and better than that. Still focused on hoops, probably."

"Hyenas are way sexier than this group.These Braves are about as enjoyable to look at as a carcas hyenas just ravaged.Last place."

According to the salaries posted at CBSSports, Jack is making the 4th highest salary among the non-pitchers on the Braves. Surely the Braves aren't on the hook for all of this?! I know that ATL re-signed him this year, but I don't know if these salaries reflect total salary or just the Braves part. He's behind Chipper, Uggla & McCann only. Sounds like it's probably just another sign of Obamawren economics.

[RaiderKid318]

Lmao

[Getting UGGLA]

He'll earn that money as waterboy in the dugout.

[MrJones]

He's not. That was last year's salary for Jack. He's under contract for $1 million (up to $1.5 w/ incentives). Their info is wrong.

Just about to post that. I think we also had a thread on it, when we resigned him. He was just wanting to work an Obama joke in..........

[Bravo95]

Guess we should call the first post "typical GOP fact-checking."

ROTFLMAO.... Now that's funny! Okay now that it's even, can we move away from political agenda's and get back to just baseball?
