I burnt two candles last night after this news. Do scented candles count? I hope Zim-bu likes vanilla.

What slam? That Cur would siphon some of my rum IV? He probably would. Those beavers are sneaky.

You know it’s sad when the first thing I do is check Twitter and MLB sites in the morning to be sure this deal hasn’t gone through. I mean, I know Yunel is an offensive upgrade for the Rays (hell, I might be an offensive upgrade for the Rays), but he’s just such an idiot.

What was funny about your post? What does your post even mean? Who exactly is it making fun of? I love good Dolphins humor. It’s well deserved. But your post?. What’s the opposite of LOL?

Miss you over on PBT. You get your SI Sportsman of the Year issue yet? You see that big, fat, gaudy ring on LeBron’s hand? Beautiful isn’t it?

Let me tell you something my friend. Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane.

Here’s some fun quotes from 2001 for you courtesy of Cot’s Contracts.

“I would say it’s the end of the world as we know it. …
I am speechless by that contract. … It’s unbelievable.
Literally, it will take the sport down, that contract.
We’re right back to the ridiculous contracts. It can’t be.”
- Marlins president David Samson,
on reports Ichiro Suzuki would sign a $100 million contract

“My mother always taught me that if the only thing you have to say is,
‘Fuck Dave Samson,’ then don’t say anything at all.
So I’m not going to say anything at all.
Is my mother the greatest or what?”
- Mariners GM Bill Bavasi, after signing Ichiro to a $90 million contract

After Stanton, Tino Martinez is the best hitter on the Marlins.

Wait, that might sound like a slam on Cur & that’s not how I intended it….gah!

Welcome to OPM Park. (Other People’s Money). Loria is as smart as a fox. His championship is his P & L. To him the World Series Championship is about as important/real as the
WWE Championship belt.

For Burgie, I would do it…and you wouldn’t have to worry about me siphoning off any.

I could start you a rum IV?

By: cur68

cur68 — Tue, 04 Dec 2012 02:02:13 +0000

Oh. Astroturf, eh? I didn’t know that. Well, maybe fertilize a potted plant or something, right? Surely they have some of those around the stadium. If they don’t they should get some.

I’m a Jays fan and I couldn’t stand this ass. I was so glad to see someone take him off our hands. He is a plague everywhere he goes. I hope he goes to the Yankees to cover at 3rd for A rod. That would be a great Xmas gift. Please god !!!!

I’d prescribe tequila, but in your case, sub rum.

The Rays have Astroturf. We don’t need no stinkin’ manure.

I came around on Loney. Not the splash I wanted, but he has potential and has shown glimmers of talent. If the Rays trade for Escobar, the loud “Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!!!” you hear will be from me.

I hardly know what to say. Um…he hits better than Upton? Its true, he does. He can field his position. And he’s Cuban, too. He’ll get along well there in Florida, right? But, ultimately yeah: Horseshit for brains. Still, this doesn’t mean he can’t be useful and help out. Maybe you can spread him around a garden somewhere?

By: historiophiliac

historiophiliac — Tue, 04 Dec 2012 01:40:26 +0000

Ok, I was supportive on the Loney deal, but you’re on your own on this one.

By: historiophiliac

historiophiliac — Tue, 04 Dec 2012 01:36:13 +0000

That’s right, OG, but even if he said he’d do something, he moves at a glacial place. Escobar could be retired by then. In the meantime, sorry to get my entertainment at your expense.

Look, Bud Light only said he would be paying attention to the Feesh. He never said he was going to do anything about them.

By: indaburg

indaburg — Tue, 04 Dec 2012 01:24:18 +0000

No, no, no. Please not the Rays. I do not want this horseshit for brains tumor on my team.

If they can get some pitching for Escobar, they’ll probably trade Nolasco for a corner infielder.

Ok seriously what in the blazes is Miami doing down there? Lemme take a step back here and ask a question. Did Loria got to college? Honest question and I want an honest answer.

The Marlins are shooting for a total payroll of $3,000,000. David Sampson is actually telling fans that they cannot operate at a loss despite the sweetheart stadium deal

You’re looking at this all wrong. Pull up a chair. Crack open a beer. Make sure you have unlimited texting so you can chatter with your friends. Break out your Selig voodoo doll. The show opened with a big bang, but there’s sure to be more chapters.
