Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Raul Ibanez

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.

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.

by MfaninAlaska on Jul 24, 2007 4:56 PM PDT up reply actions  

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.

by Ben in Va on Jul 24, 2007 4:44 PM PDT reply actions  

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.

Umm...
are you trying to say Raul is a fad?  
Cuz, no way man.  Raul is no fad.  He's been around for, like, ever, dude.

RAUL DOESNT HURT THE TEAM
HIS SUCKING IS JUST GIVING ME REASON TO FLY TO TEXAS AND "Do what must be done".

This current losing streak will be enough of a wakeup call to get adam jones up

Yeah
Sexson's 2005 sure sucked. It was only his best year.
No, sir, they're saying Boo-vasi.

by Mariner John on Jul 24, 2007 8:18 PM PDT reply actions  

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.

On the plus side
not too many people have been instructed to die in a fire lately.

by Jeff Sullivan on Jul 24, 2007 8:36 PM PDT up reply actions  

Fire danger in the forest is too high
I wouldn't risk it...too many innocent people might lose their house.  Hence I told Raul to ride a motorcycle

Ibanez hasn't quite reached the level of disdain
to me that Hargrove did.

Give it time.
