No I AM, remember? “I’m thinking five, close it out at home” ? Anybody?

Maybe I should take this heathen behind the wood shed, pull down his britches and spank his bottom blue.
Theo October 5, 2011 14:29
This is BS! Paps, Bard, Aceves, and even Jenks were better! Where’s my trophy? Turn those voting machines back on!
Rich Mahogany October 5, 2011 14:33
Actually, I’d agree that Aceves was better.

The only thing Valverde excelled in was acting like a jackass after a save. There’s only one other bigger douche in the game today.

You need to pound your father-in-law before you can have that honor

Let him win whatever overhyped awards he can, and react however he wants.
It will make it that much sweeter if we take game five in the bottom of the ninth against him.
This clown has had it coming for a long time.

Makes sense. Not only did he have more saves than Mo, by 5, in 11 more appearances, but his BBs/9 were way higher while keeping his Ks/BBs way down.
Mo October 5, 2011 17:20
Who is he? Is it the 8th inning one?

I thought this tool said he was not coming back to NY, I would LOVE to see Mr. Reliever of the year get tattooed tomorrow.
Valverde, you can officially lick my blistery clit dry and nibble on the vulva!
