Really like the guy.

But he’s not going to play enough for me to feel that strongly about him either way. Still voted “like”, because he’s a crazy son of a bitch, and that’s cool. I wish he played the outfield against lefties though.

And then hit a bunch. Then I might just love the man.

I'm with you on this one.

We watch baseball to be entertained, right?

This is my thought process

It’s like I’m watching television. Everything goes wrong but everyone comes out smiling anyway.

Today's fun fact!

Byrnes’ career line vs LHP is .283/.343/.508 for a .364 wOBA in 1054 PA.
Byrnes’ career line vs RHP is .148/.310/.409 for a .314 wOBA in 2418 PA.

Wak has used Byrnes twice as much against RHP—23 PA in 10 games—than LHP—10 PA in 5 games—so far this season.

I cringe when anything is hit to him

He’s like a frenzied golden retriever puppy with all four paws scrambling in different directions…after he’s just pulled his snout out of a hornet’s nest.

Disagree. Something is wrong with 100% of us.

What that wrong thing is differs from person to person though.

96% now. I hate Byrnes with all my soul.

He’s the reason Langersex is in Tacoma and went through waivers. No matter how much he hustles, Byrnes is a retard at the plate, a retard in the field, and he looks DONE as a productive player to me. He also seems insufferably stupid, judging from his clothing line and The Eric Byrnes Show.

Reminds me of Bradley

But without the mean edge. Love him & his all out attitude. If he could throw fly ball outs without runners on base back into the infield as well as Bradley you know he would…

Booo.

I was hoping we’d vote “Like” on everyone. It would be so Canadian.

I like using semi-colons; they make me feel smart.

Bluebird Banter welcomes you.

They are actually unerringly friendly, even in extended disagreements there’s almost zero detectable sarcasm or name-calling. It’s a little disconcerting.

Toronto is the most Canadian place in the world.

It’s freaky.

I like using semi-colons; they make me feel smart.

I have too many memories of him killing us when he was on the A's.

He needs to win me over with some actual performance at this point.

He's a lovable duck.

I like the he only costs the Mariners 400k.

But I dont care how much effort he puts in if the results aren’t there. He just seems like a “special” little guy that you say “aww thats cute” but you wouldn’t want him starting on your baseball team.

Even if you ran him out there for 600 PA’s, he’s just not going to put up good numbers.

Most of these results

Look like I’m being flipped off sideways.

Yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.

I like him

How can you not like someone that looks and acts like the result of a mutant breeding of all three stooges?

by Nobody Anonymous on Apr 30, 2010 2:49 PM PDT reply actions  

I like Eric Byrnes

But it might be the different between wacky and cheap vs. wacky and expensive. Thank God he comes cheap.

by ThundaPC on Apr 30, 2010 3:11 PM PDT reply actions  

I love Eric Boo-yrnes.

He’s hilarious. And he has a great work ethic.

Right now I'm dreaming of Carl Crawford. Maybe next year...(or this year at the trade deadline)...

by SeaKoala on Apr 30, 2010 3:36 PM PDT reply actions  

I wish he didn't suck so much

He’d be easier to say I like him. He sucks though. I can’t believe he ever was able to hit.

by Edgar for Pres on Apr 30, 2010 7:20 PM PDT reply actions  

Okay so the bicycle thing is hilarious

But still only cancels out like 1% of his extreme fuckup tonight. He’s now on notice.
