Ok, I'll say it: R.A. Dickey sucks.

You mean all the hate and anger surrounding this trade was warranted? Go figure!

[Howard Roark]

The A's wanted Syndergaard for Gio and wouldn't budge on that (http://blogs.thescore.com/djf/2011/12/29/blair-the-as-wanted-syndergaard-for-gio/)

 

But no, Syndergaard was too important to our future. So important that... he was the second piece in a deal for a 38-year-old shitbag.

 

I seriously STILL want to bitchslap that obese Greek f***wit into a coma over that farce of a trade and it's been, what, 8 months?

 

Just completely inexplicable. I'm still struggling to figure out his logic on that one and am coming up empty.

It's pretty mind-boggling that there are still fans out there who think only thing AA done wrong this off season is hiring Gibbons. wut?

Gibbons has been a revelation compared the other crap players we are now dealing with.

Not a chance.

 

The Mets didn't want to extend Dickey at the rate we gave him, so I imagine they wouldn't trade anything at all to get him back.

 

I was completely joking...but that didn't come through.

 

Although it's pretty telling that the Mets wouldn't even give us one prospect equivalent to those guys.

On the bright side, there's no way Dickey can be this bad next year, right? I mean yeah he'll be a year older, but this has just been a putrid year for Dickster

[RickyWalks]

After today's start he'll be at either 0.6 or 0.7 WAR trough 20 starts. At this point 1.5 WAR is about as optimistic as we can get, and that would be a ~$7 million surplus value on his contract. You think d'Arnaud and Syndergaard make that up? lol

 

The way the Jays develop talent?
