I'm tired of stupid.

You guys might think this post is stupid. If so, well, more stupid in the world! I contribute where I can.



I'm listening to a broadcast of the Rockies. The announcers are subtle 'homers', you know, the kind that pick at umpire's and opposing players, while every play the Rox make has a purpose, even if the outcome proves costly.



Jason Giambi makes two errors in an inning, probably costing the Rox the game. I miss Howard Cosell. We get to hear what a great influence Giambi is in the locker room.

All that technology and BP doesn't invest in an off/on switch?

STUPID



The Diamondbacks have traded Dan Haren and Max Scherzer for future trade parts. No future.

STUPID



Roto Headlines like... so and so team, is interested in so and so player....C'mon man, it's like Tom Kessenich putting a personal ad in his local paper saying he is interested in Jennifer Aniston.

STUPID





The chase of the even numbers for media types. ARod has 599 home runs. The media has headlines. Who cares? He was the 7th to 599, he'll be the 7th to 600. It is a number like others. Yet, MLB puts special balls in play. Babe Ruth just cussed.

STUPID



Speaking of the media....Announcers and writers will tell anybody that they have one of the best jobs in the world. Why is it then, that besides one umpire, they are the only ones mentioning how long games are played?

I know when I'm at a game, I'm not clock watching like they seem to be. Enjoy your jobs, guys. Quit whining!

I am writing this as I should be making last second checks on my teams.

A lot more fun at a minor league game than a major league and a lot less money to pay.

The cost of parking a car at some Major League venues can buy a family of three into a minor league park.

STUPID



Selecting ARod or even Ryan Braun in the first round this year, and seeing on July 26 that Kelly Johnson and Luke Scott have just as many homers.

STUPID



Kenny Lofton or Jermaine Dye giving the finger to one or two million dollars to play baseball.

Right back to you, guys.

Me and my surliness in this post.

I have no clever way to end this post. Of course, making me...

2 different GM's, but the hell are they thinking trading Haren and Scherzer.



It was like Xmas when the Tigers traded Granderson and Jackson for Mad Max, Phil Coke, Austin Jackson and Daniel Schlereth. 16 years of service time the Tigers control with that trade.

When an arbitrary day or number is chosen to highlight statistics to make them look better. For example: "he is 6 for his last 19 or "most HRs since since May 5th."



Stupid

Throwing a pie in a players face and blowing out your knee.

Stupid



The Detroit Tigers not making a single trade or quality pick-up within the last week.

Stupid

The walk off "celebrations" are too much. Just win the game like you've done it before. A walk off, now, almost has to be treated like a Pennant clinching moment. It ain't.

STUPID



The handling of Joba Chamberlain by the Yankees

STUPID



Troy Tulowitzki and Josh Hamilton having great years when unexpected. Injury years when taken in the first or second rounds

My Manlove of Kyle Blanks

Me listening to those wretched Tampa Bay radio guys

In the late innings of a Reds-Rockies game, taking my mind off the game and thinking the Street-Rhodes matchup is cool...and wishing Jason Lane were hitting

Any General Manager that signs Milton Bradley

Any GM who has the chance, and doesn't sign Carl Crawford during the off season.

In baseball terms, BP backward, would be 'passed ball'....I know...

Courtesy of RotoWorld:



"Tommy Hanson allowed three runs -- one earned -- over six innings in a loss to the Nationals on Tuesday night.



He deserved better, as errors in the first and second innings resulted in two unearned runs to score. All told, Hanson held the Nats to six hits -- five singles -- while striking out eight and walking none. It's the first time Hanson has went without a walk since May 15. It's easy to get distracted by his 8-7 record and 3.99 ERA, but Hanson's K/BB ratio is actually improved from last season. He remains a pretty solid buy low opportunity."



Solid buy low opportunity? Stupid.
