You said he’s a “jerk in every sense” and didn’t make the point in that post about your feelings based on the lock out. You didn’t make the point.

Eh, I was talking about the lockout in almost every post about him. Either way, it doesn;t really matter. At the end of the day, I do respect him as a pitcher and know he's a first ballot HoFer.

VOTH (the other “V” today) doing well huh?

I'm fine with surely guys who perform well. Hell, I rooted from Albert Belle. But he made himself the key voice of the rich, elite players who tried to destroy the negotiations at every turn and for that, I hope he's never an Oriole. I'd rather always root against him, no matter how good he is on the hill.

Right, because the poor owners are so admirable.

Right? Definitely seems like more than usual 

Tucker must stand really far back. Umpires should do a better job enforcing the back line of the batter's box.

Whatever the Orioles are doing behind the scenes with our pitchers is just magical.

An awful lot of ace pitchers are jerks or just weird.  For example, Sale cutting up White Sox jerseys before he got traded.  Clemens throwing splintered bat a Piazza.  Pedro throwing Zimmer on the ground.  Nolan Ryan wasn't the nicest guy.  Randy Johnson was someone a lot of players did not like.  It seems like a lot of ace pitchers have a surly, mean edge.

Trouble getting my MLB-TV (with VPN) connected today. Thanks to whomever suggested that alternate streaming site that rhymes with screambeast. After some false starts, found the feed  there. @justD, have you had trouble getting MLB-TV working this week? I tried all the usual solutions, but had no luck until I switched computers. I got last night's game to  work on our bedroom TV. But I prefer to watch the games in my den.

To be clear, I hate how many of the players are rich (compared to most fans) cry babies, too.

Man, it would suck if Voth lost his perfect game because of that catcher's interference and had to settle for just a no hitter.

Love watching Mateo start DPs!

He's a jerk in every sense. He did everything in his power to try and destroy this season due to his own greed. He cares less about the game, fans or anything other than enrichening himself with the most money he can. He's a turd and I don't want to have to root for him.

Big ups for the use of “turd!” 

Perhaps the most underutilized term in the English language.

No Tony, don’t take the bait.  Chirinos is safe!

I like watching him do just about everything. I’d like him to hit better, but he has since the AS break.
