Thursday's Love/Hate
Written by Father Time on April 20, 2006
Scott Podsednik: Hate
I hate you. Put a smile on my face and jump off a cliff. You start the year 1-for-400 and even throw in a couple errors for good measure. So I trade you. And you proceed to go on a hitting/base stealing spree. And you wanna know the funny thing, Scotty? Because here it comes. The funny thing is if I traded back for you, you'd start sucking again. Isn't that funny? Huh, asshole?
Jim Thome: Love
I thought maybe ... you know if you want ... we could pick out place settings next weekend, Jim. I mean ... no rush or anything.
Edwin Encarnacion: Hate
You have seven errors in 17 days. You put on the dunce cap three times in one game, Edwin. That's Gump-level dumb. What the fuck is wrong with you?
Jose Contreras: Love
Just because I'm marrying Thome doesn't mean we can't have our little fling, big guy. Especially if you keep up those one-hitters.
Jake Westbrook: Hate (today)
Either really good or really shitty. No middle ground for you. BTW, thanks for that seven-run inning last night. I love you. Just how in the fuck do you give up a home run to Corey frickin' Patterson? Kevin Costner strikes him out. You're a disgrace, not only as a pitcher but as a human being.
I agree with your take in Westbrook. Nothing is worse than a pitcher that is incosistent on the mound. This guy will probably barely give 13 wins this year coupled with 13 losses. I can't stand guys like these.
