      If you’re going to get upset about our announcer getting excited about our most exciting player, I’m not sure that’s his problem.

        You might try exploring this concept called “just let upset people vent,” especially when you have an inkling of how (relatively) little of it they’ve done in public previously.

    Is today Upgrade’s birthday? Why do I think I remember that? If so, Happy Birthday. I hope the floats are easing down the loss of the Ellis and this crap-tastic game.

      You’re right, it is… I don’t know why I remember that, either. HB, FSU :)

      Quick! Trade him now.

    • andeux Jun 30,2011 3:22 pm || Up

      The thing that he has done more than anyone else currently on the roster (tied with Matsui).
      Also the thing he seems to do whenever the inexplicable pissing and moaning about him here reaches fever pitch.

        Complaining about Suzuki is inexplicable? Really?

        • andeux Jun 30,2011 3:32 pm || Up

          In the sense that some people enjoy complaining loudly about absolutely everything that is the slightest bit disappointing, I suppose not.

            People do that on this site with regards to baseball related material?

              not usually

            I think Suzuki is more than slightly disappointing.

            Since 2009 he has been pretty bad. This year he is at .9 WAR as a catcher, same as last year.

            All indications are that he is a bad defensive catcher too.

            I have $5. No I don\'t.

              yeah… and hes about to start making real money

                time to say goodbye?

                • dmoas Jun 30,2011 9:23 pm || Up

                  Weird. I feel okay with the idea of trading Suzuki. Earlier this year, I don’t think I was (regardless of the fact that I knew he wasn’t “good” anymore).

                  Id absolutely rather have Depodesta than Beane right now.

                  What if the Red Sox threw in Youkilis?
