StarkAndHellIsHot : SHAME ON YOU



call_me_roy: What?



StarkAndHellIsHot : You should have ignored the needs of your team and traded one of the greatest players of all time so he could finish his career with his first team.



call_me_roy: I don't understand. Why?



StarkAndHellIsHot : Because it would make me feel nice! :)



StarkAndHellIsHot : I don't like it when players get traded. That makes me feel sad. :(



StarkAndHellIsHot : The best way to deal with it is to discredit and gloss over Clemens' actual performance at the end of his career by overdramatizing every single goddamn thing he does.



call_me_roy: But



StarkAndHellIsHot : I bought 5000 Clemens jerseys from when he spent 2/3 of an inning working on his beanball for the lowercase-a Wichita Devil Mantis Hog Pig Bernoulli's Principles!



call_me_roy: But let's say I was willing to throw the hope and goodwill of my players and fans out the window so I could make you feel happy, which I'm not.



call_me_roy: And let's say Clemens didn't, only two months ago, have the choice of pitching for any team he wanted to. Which he did.



call_me_roy: Barring all that, what's the thought behind having someone finish his career where it started? If you're going for sappy, how is that even sappy?



call_me_roy: I mean, doesn't that line of thought really discredit the significant amount of time he spent with the Astros? Why would you even want a conclusion like that? It'd be artificial!



StarkAndHellIsHot : Because I hate it when my sports intake is unfiltered! I don't want that shit raw! I don't want to catch salmonella!



call_me_roy: Whatever. Get lost. Go write 100000 words about how great retro Chargers uniforms are or something.



StarkAndHellIsHot : Oh man, have you ever noticed how great those uniforms are? Hey, maybe Page 2 would do some big best-uniform tournament for the 154th time!

STEROIDS_BobLey_STEROIDS: Jayson, come quick! We just found out that Negro Leagues great Josh Gibson did HGH, by which I mean that we think it would be shameful if he did!


StarkAndHellIsHot : OH MY GOD I'LL BE RIGHT THERE



STEROIDS_BobLey_STEROIDS: We have to get this on the site ASAP. Let's split this shit up. You find the most unflattering picture of him you possibly can, and I'll see if I can get the phrase "HUMAN NEGRO-WTH HORMONE" on the front page in 480-point font.
