Around SBN: Jeremy Lin Continues Rampage, New York Wins On Road

Drew towtally sukcs!!1!!!

How have the Red Sox managed to put up with this joker year after year? Why haven't they given him the boot like they did to John Smoltz and Julio Lugo? I mean, look at the absolutely pathetic numbers he's put up over the last two seasons:

  • OPS+ of 137 and 133
  • 43 HR's
  • An OBP of nearly .400
  • 4.15 pitches per PA
  • An average of 4.5 WAR

And that doesn't even count the atrocities with his glove: all kinds of balls caught, but he doesn't work hard to make it look like a highlight reel catch, so his tremendous range doesn't matter and obviously he's not even trying.

He's also clearly a clubhouse cancer, and is constantly getting ratted out by fellow players, Tito, and Theo. I mean, take a look at all the horror stories about his off-the-field antics!

Not to mention the fact that he's made of glass and runs like he has cement overshoes on ALL THE TIME.

Drew is obviously the biggest obstacle standing between the Olde Towne Team and a return engagement to the World Series.

Save the 2010 Sox season: GET RID OF DREW NOW!!!1!!!!

I chose Hoover

in a complete assumption we were talking about Herbert Hoover. I’m ok with my vote either way. Drew is my hero.

Drew certainly does suck.

Glad to be of service.

Besides, I needed to unburden myself with some snark.

Finally someone is making sense around here!

I’m sick of all these Drew loving Steelers fans!

Where's the "suck like a fox" option

That option is STUPID.

the only thing...

about Drew that sucks is the fact that his back has kept him out of the lineup. Streaky hitters are a good thing. They can carry the team when they are hitting and when they aren’t, they worry the other team about whether they will start.

.....I just like Black Holes, I think they're fascinating!!

But I really liked the whole steelersfans guy thread…..

Guy was entertaining for the first 50 posts, but then....
