Agreed. Just like NFL sportscasters are required to use the word Football in every other sentence, and refer to the NFL as TheNarionalFootballLeague.

Because everything can lead to Span getting traded. Duh.

There is no way on Earth that the Phillies would get either one of those two for Shayne Victorino. Now, Victorino two years ago for Kershaw two years ago… that MIGHT have worked. The Flyin’ Hawaiian was at his peak and Kershaw was just starting to establish a name for himself. But there is no way the Dodgers would be parting with Kershaw, especially when they have a solid team around him and a chance at a playoff run. Throw Dempster into the mix in LA, and they are making a move for this year.

keep that in mind the next time a Yankees fan mentions the words “king” and “Felix” in the same sentence.

You know, his interviews, you know, weren’t so bad you know. At least you know he’s willing to, you know, provide a decent, you know, sound bite.

He deserves, and will receive, a standing ovation whenever he comes back to town. You know.

Considering yesterday he was wanting to trade Juan Pierre and Shane Victorina to the Reds
for George Costanza and Jay Bruce…I am going to consider his post a bad joke.

You will be receiving a fine from MLB for failing to use the word “Hawaiian” anywhere in this post. It is required whenever mentioning Victorino.

Hey! I liked Shane’s interviews. He was awesome. Ask him one question and he’d chatter for 20 minutes. He should never commit a crime ’cause he’d blab non-stop about it.

I look forward to his West Coast Interviews and hope he acquires a California Surfer Dude drawl to go with his jibber jabber approach to question answering.

Good luck in LA, Shane.

No offense to Phillies fans here, but MAN am I glad to see this guy leave the division. Even in down years, he has been a thorn in the Braves side…

I have no idea how this works out player wise but at least i don’t have to listen to another god awful Victorino interview.

Earlier I heard two really loud “woosh” sounds and I thought a fighter jet and flown overhead… turns out its just these two guys watching a joke go flying over their heads…

Oh he does, it’s a skill he has individually honed for himself in-between swinging for the fences and setting team K records.

Well, he didn’t capitalize the first word of his sentence – most Spowrts Tawrk Raydeeo Kawller Gize don’t – but other than that, he only missed one comma. I’d put him in the top fiftieth percentile of STRKGs.

But does he score runs while he’s leading off?

Yes. So is League.

I would have taken a bucket of balls for Victorino at this point.
