Waka Waka Walking Papers
The Fozzie Bear bad joke of a season continues in Seattle, as manager Don Wakamatsu has reportedly been handed his walking papers. We've touched on their season a few times earlier this year, and I'm still amazed that a club that generated this much buzz in the off-season has not only played this poorly, but has done so in a such an amazingly self-destructive fashion: naps in the clubhouse, fights in the dugout, falls in the bathroom, reported player mutiny, and no offense to speak of between the lines.
Oh, and just to rub salt in the wound: Justin Smoak, the prospect Jack Zduriencik preferred to Jesus Montero as the return centerpiece for Cliff Lee, was optioned to AAA a week ago after hitting just .159/.169/.270 with Seattle following the deal. Montero, meanwhile, has hit .347/.446/.622 since the start of July.

AGAIN WITH THE ASIAN BASHING
ReplyDeleteYOUR HEADLINE JOKE IS NOT FUNNY AND IT IS HURTFUL TO PEOPLE OF ASIAN DESCENT
I AM REPORTING THIS AND WILL SEE THIS HATEFUL BLOG OF BIGOTRY SHUT DOWN ONCE AND FOR ALL
I'm still looking for the Asian bashing in this post... Meanwhile, what I find so offensive is that you had the nerve to use the first two syllables of the guy's name in the headline. Unforgiveable. I'm going to get you shut down for that.
