Message Board Marauder


Is there anything funnier or, depending on your perspective, more annoying than an internet message board know-it-all who always has the answers to what ails your team (I mean besides bloggers who know it all)?

You know the type. They continually bring up asinine trade scenarios they think are realistic, like Anthony Reyes and John Rodriguez for Dontrelle Willis or Doug Mientkiewicz and Melky Cabrera for Mark Teixeira. If not discussing trade possibilities, they overreact to every possible misstep that goes along with a 162 game season, screaming to get rid of guys who have endured a slump or bad game.

There are many other offenses that can lead to someone being an internet message board jackoff. In what will hopefully become a weekly feature, we scoured team and fan message boards to bring you the very finest in douchebaggery.

Cards Talk (St. Louis Cardinals): "Tony LaRussa has lost the support of his players and (G.M.) Walt Jocketty has lost the support of the ownership contrary to published reports. It is time for the Jose Oquendo era in the dugout and Ted Simmons return as a GM." - Wtxcardsfan

MLB.com - N.Y. Yankees: "Trade Bobby Abreu for Torii Hunter. This is a good line-up with out Abreu." - Yanks1996

Orioles Hangout: "What about a Daniel Cabrera for A.J. Burnett and Alex Rios deal? Cabrera for Rios is something the BJ's probably wouldn't do, but if we throw in taking all of Burnett's contract, maybe its a possibility.

Burnett would be overpaid, but treat him as essentially the 5th starter, skipping his starts and pushing them back often to help avoid injury and he could put up some pretty good numbers."
- Mackus

Sox Talk (Chicago White Sox): "If I were Kenny Williams, I would trade Konerko, Thome, Mackowiack, Uribe, Pods, Erstad, A.J., Iguchi, Dye, Crede, Buehrle, Contreras, Garland, Vazquez, Jenks, Thornton and MacDougal between now and next season for as many top prospects as I could possibly get.

What could they bring? Maybe 3 top prospects each for Konerko, Garland and Vazquez. 2 each for Mark, Jenks, Thome, Contreras and A.J. One each for the rest. That's 25-30 top prospects."
- WhiteSoxRandy

ESPN.com - Texas Rangers: "If the Rangers continue to win and some of the other teams we need to lose do, then we could be within striking distance in the wild card. We are 13.5 games out as of right now however." - Texasfanatic 10

AOL.com - San Francisco Giants: "Bonds has yet to fail a single roids exam. If you have proof that he has been using the past few seasons, please share it." - ZDoodlsBack

InsideTheIvy.com (Chicago Cubs): "Griffey to Chicago. How about Jacque Jones and either Bob Howry or Scott Eyre."
- Broncosoldier

Dodger Blues: "This fucking San Deigo team has run 20 out of 29 against our sorry asses over the past 15 months. No, this isn't the '27 Yankees. I'm talking Jose Cruz Jr, kevin Kouzmanoff, and Mike Cameron. This Dodger team pretty much urinates on themselves everytime they set sights on those fucking beaners from down south." - JuanPierreIsGay

Only if they include Hanley Ramirez in the deal.
