Blake Swihart is the Adam Sandler of the Red Sox. He had some good moments starting off, but he never really showed greatness, has hung around far too long based on the inexplicable belief of his supporters both inside and outside the industry, and every time I see him I want to punch him in the neck for what he's still doing to something I love.
"Hating the Yankees like it's a religion since 94'" RIP Mike.
"It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."

Even Einstein would take his fair share of flak on a baseball forum.
For me it seems like it. When you've already split the series and your best player is on the DL, it's hard to really strut around like it'll be a cake walk. You can infer the other team isn't good, but saying they suck and are buttholes (which seems out of character for Thunder) doesn't sound like good mojo for me. If Thunder always posted like that maybe it wouldn't be a big deal. Just seems odd to me.
