Further evidence that there is no God.

And so the Legend of Sam Fuld grows and walks among us. My hope is that all of this soon leads the Franklin Mint to give us two things the people want and need: The Sam Fuld Numbered Commemorative Plate and The Sam Fuld Boer War Chess Set.

No word on how FULD had a big game against the Shite Sox last night?

This has to be satire, right?

RIGHT?!?!

Yeah, but they also shrewdly dumped has-beens at the right time like Brock, Sutter, Madlock, Jenkins, Maddux and Eckersley.

And Dave Martinez

Any player whose value "goes beyond numbers" is 98% likely to be white, and 99% likely to need a booster seat when going out to eat.

I'm starting to regret that Fuld went to the AL East.

Any other division and he'd likely be languishing under a level of inattention more commensurate with his abilities.

I never thought Sam Fuld was that bad of a ballplayer, really. I mean, I know our visceral reaction to him was due to the KUBBIEZ fans making him into a mascot, but I honestly thought he was a pretty good option as a fourth outfielder thanks to his OBP and his speed. Naturally he's going to fall back to earth, but I'm not that shocked that he's capable of one good month. Then again, I think Fernando Perez offers exactly the same skillset. I've lost track of what I'm trying to say here.
I will vow, for the sake of peace, not to complain about David Ross between now and his first start next year- 10/26/2015

Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.

He does have a higher OPS and BA than Fuld. Science.

I hope my Twitter buddy makes it up this year. Of course that means a couple people would have to die. Which is actually fine. I stand by my comment.

Some days, I think you two might be a good couple. I'm not meaning that in a rude way, just saying that if a couple dudes are right for each other then they should, you know, have a little fun.

Do you mean Slak and Fernando or me and Slak since you quoted us both? I assume you mean Slak and Fernando. But my heart jumped for a brief moment in time.

I think Chris Nilan is a far superior Twitter buddy.
