In this Huey vs. Dempster issue I'm torn between my hatred of Canadians and my hatred of the Irish.

I'd have to acknowledge Canada to hate Canada.

Is it ok if I hate Dempster irrationally?

This, to me, is actually perfectly acceptable.  

The only thing worse than having a really bad and incorrect reason to hate someone (see: Huey) is this crazy notion that we always need to have reason to hate in the first place.

As I've communicated to Huey several times, it would be much better if he just hated Dempster because of his stupid fucking face than to try and rationalize why he hates him for baseball reasons.

I've always admired your skills in hating.

March called.  It wanted to know why you waited 3 weeks to call me out on this.

And it is a big game.  They drape bunting all over the place!

Bort hasn't been this conflicted since the Fenian raids.

He wants us to be patient.  We shouldn't be persuaded the the team is bad on the basis of a bad homestand and a bad road trip.  Just because they can't hit, pitch, catch, throw or run doesn't mean that they aren't nice people.

Wood to DL, Dempster possibly to miss a start!

The race to 120 losses is underway!

It's worked out ok for Detroit since they got their asses kicked up and down the AL a many years back.

Hmm. Let's see:

1994: 53-62
1995: 60-84
1996: 53-109
1997: 79-83
1998: 65-97
1999:69-92
2000: 79-83
2001:  66-96
2002: 55-106
2003: 43-119
2004: 72-90
2005: 71-91
2006: 95-67 (Pennant, no World Championship)
2007: 88-74
2008: 74-88
2009: 86-77  (Nearly destroyed local economy by losing 1 game playoff at Minnesota -- the "Swung On Belted Base Hit Out" Game)
2010: 81-81
2011: 95-67  (ALCS)

Hendry had nearly the same success over that time!
