With all due respect, Jess, there comes a point where players... even "your" players... underperform to the point where they deserve a little steam blown off in their direction. Otherwise, you're just blindly cheering for laundry. I want the team I root for to win... not for all twenty-five players on that team to have their feelings spared. “Humanoid”... I forget, is that a Blassism or a Heenanism?

With all due respect, Jess, there comes a point where players… even “your” players… underperform to the point where they deserve a little steam blown off in their direction.

Otherwise, you’re just blindly cheering for laundry.

I want the team I root for to win… not for all twenty-five players on that team to have their feelings spared.

Please cool it. Pointing out deficiencies is one thing. Writing what was written above about Lawrence, Mota and Schoeneweis is disgraceful behavior. Mr Delcos, You should discourage it as well.

I hope Lawrence sends your note back when your job is outsourced to Thailand for 22 cents an hour. You are a sick, pathetic humanoid Mike c, not worthy of the air on the planet.

There's avocado and double cheese on it so, don't worry, you're helping the team by leaving. They're gonna keep you on their roster, it's just that you're not going to be a starting pitcher anymore. I'm told you're going to be promoted to Sandwich Artist. Good luck in your future endeavours." “Brian… we’re trading you, Schoeneweis and Mota for a Half-Eaten Roast Beef Sub.
