Raul Ibanez

by tait644 on Jul 24, 2007 4:37 PM PDT

Seriously, does he deserve to be anything more than a platoon DH with Vidro??

As soon as last year, he was a very productive bat, so I understand why the M's might try to get him going (see: Sexson, Richie, who was productive five years ago and is still getting his chance to rekindle the magic).

But his drop-off is so blaring, one has to wonder whether the guy is done.

Either way, I don't think it will hurt to get him off the field, get his legs rested, and then perhaps he'll hit better.

Because this is getting ridiculous.

This is what I mean

about wishing death or serious illness on someone that has done absolutely nothing but try his best.

and NO.. this is not a game thread comment.

It's no wonder there is so much violence in the world these days when there are prevalent attitudes like this out there.

In all fairness

Raul is already dead.

I obviously dont wish that on him

get over yourself...

Get over your

own self.... I am free to make my comments just as much as you are.

Watch a guy die in your arms in a motorcyle accident and see how funny you think wishing death or injury upon someone is.

Though I don't actually wish death upon Raul

I honestly have no problems saying things like I wish Raul was forced to watch his family get tortured before getting done in himself. I'm with George Carlin--you can joke about anything, nothing is off limits. Even Rape. Carlin proved that rape is funny--picture Porky Pig raping Elmer Fudd.

There are exceptions

I tend to agree, and I'm not at all easily offended, never have been - but if you are a person that has been raped, I'd be inclined to think that you'd be slow to find the humor in it.

K, next time I'll ask if anyone

has been hit by a car while going the wrong way on I-5 on a motorcycle.

really, all I meant was...GO AWAY RAUL...like go on a boat and lose an engine in the middle of the Pacific...hell bring Yubet. (insert raft joke here)

I fucking hate you Mariners

Or pull a Vick

Don't feed Vidro while keeping him chained to an axle behind Safeco, then put Raul into a fighting pen with him.

I really don't understand

Why he's still out there. It makes NO sense.

by Garces on Jul 24, 2007 4:44 PM PDT reply actions

Injured.

He caught something from HoRam and Weaver. He was fine before they showed up. Inflammation of the SUCK. It's contagious.

It's also affecting Sexson and Yuni's right arm.

Sexson's 2005 sure sucked. It was only his best year.

No, sir, they're saying Boo-vasi.

Wow

A little losing streak (totally should be expected guys! They lost 6 in a row pretty recently. This is a STREAKY team) and the humor gets pretty dark around here.

I thought M's fans prided themselves on being clever... unlike, say, Halo fans.

I'd enjoy the site more if it mentioned misogynistic rape/torture less and Family Guy/Simpsons references more.
