I really like Brandon Morrow, the pitcher, and think he should stay in Seattle.

PrintBrandon Morrow should be starting today for the Mariners. He should stay in the rotation for the remainder of the season. Sending him to the minor leagues would be a mistake. He is to talented to be in AAA, getting out minor league hitters will not teach him to succeed in the show. Randy Johnson learned how to pitch in the majors, as did Felix. The stuff is there, the ability to succeed is there, now it is only a matter of Brandon Morrow going out and using his god given talent to take the success he deserves.

The key to Morrow's success is obviously a good catcher though

Wait for the next installment
cleverly titled GRIFFEY and detailing how much Mr. Griffey has left in the tank and how he’ll want to finish his career by dragging a team of underachievers into the playoffs.

If you’re related in any way to a Mariner. Stay home. With the lights on. And a knife in your hands.

Just once I'd like to hear an athlete thank Satan for giving him the tools to succeed in professional sports
That person would automatically become my all-time favorite athlete.

No, it just means God doesn't know whether he wants to start or relieve
it’s basic theology, man!

What is the point of this FanPost
and Morrow doesn’t need to learn how to get hitters out. He needs to learn how to handle being a starter rather than a reliever and how to figure out where the hell his pitches are going.
It’s not as if he’s some 23 year old Venezuelan kid throwing fastball after fastball after fastball
Yes, I'm aware he's a 24 year old Californian throwing fastball after fastball after fastball

mw3 doesn't want Morrow going on the road. He'll be a "home only" starter.
mw3 must be Morrow’s wife, and doesn’t want him shooting beaver.

I enjoy how this is written like a fifth grade essay.
I think X. Here are some reaons why I think X. In conclusion, I think X.
I really dislike Brandon Morrow, the albino monkey, and think he should stay in the Amazon.
Brandon Morrow should be flinging poop at his fucking dumbass face. He should stay in the the jungle for the remainder of his miserable life. Sending him to a zoo would be a mistake. He is to much of a waste of government resources, getting out free handouts will not lead to his slow and painful demise…
Also, Randy Johnson spent 4 years in the minor leagues and Felix Hernandez doesn’t know the first thing about pitching. The stuff is not there. The ability to succeed is CLEARLY not there, and everything about this is wrong.
...and now I'm here

No, I got it. My comments were directed at mw3, in line with the last paragraph of Librocrat's.
Given that they require this much explanation, I apparently shouldn’t have bothered.
I really enjoy Brandon Morrow, the bobblehead.
I will have many fascinating conversations with him come tomorrow evening.

Is he going to agree or disagree with everything?

Because I think it's hilarious.
I’ve this nagging feeling it’s created from sentences cut and pasted from various Brandon Morrow comments from around the internet. In that context, this fanpost is genius.
That was pretty much my vibe as well

Randy Johnson learned how to pitch in the majors
Johnson did not become a full time player until he was 25.

Thank you for clarifying that he is a pitcher!

I think he was clarifying that he thinks Brandon Morrow, the person, is an asshole but that Brandon Morrow, the pitcher, could be good

It's a much better title than the original title of the post
which was MORROW
