DO YOU SEE THIS TWEET?
Unacceptable.
I am devastated, you guys.
I realize that I’ve completely lax in posting anything of merit on this
here blog*, but I am simply devastated at the thought that anybody would EVER
want to trade Martin Prado. No good willcome from this. There is a not a
single player, no combination of hotshot prospects, no right handed power bat,
no veteran presence that would EVER make a Prado trade OK, ever. EVER.
Lauren called me dramatic (jokingly), but whatever. All of these jerks on sitting behind their
computers, playing GM, trying to trade my INVALUABLE favorite player is going
to make me pretty upset. You would not
like it either if there were constant rumors swirling around about YOUR
favorite player being snatched away from you and you know it. Don’t even front.
Also, by the way, people. Don’t try to sit here and placate me like I’m
a child, saying, “I understand why they did/want to do this, because blah blah
blah. It’s what is best for the
team.” You just sound like the teacher
from the Charlie Brown specials. Don’t
you try to lambast me with your “superior” baseball knowledge either; so you
know how to read the Internet and watch the game. Guess what, Sherlock? Me, too.
Don’t you tell me to be reasonable like, “Trading him would result in a
better future for the team.”
Whatever. I do not
give a rat’s behind. He should stay,
plain and simple. There, I said it. I am NOT interested in your opinions as to
why that isn’t true. You can say I’m
wrong all day long, but that won’t make a lick of difference to me (because I’m
right). There’s no point in getting into
an argument with me; I will win out of sheer stubbornness (as well as the fact
that I am RIGHT). I know how to
construct a clear-cut logical and persuasive argument just as well as any debater
can, and I am stubborn.
At least I know that Molly and Jane have got my back on
this. And I know some of the other
readers out there understand. This is
Martin Prado we’re talking about here!
All of this is quite distressing to me. The Braves’ supply of Venezuelan lovies dwindles,
and my patience wears thin when there are threats (yes, THREATS) of trade of
the remaining and most beloved Venezuelan, the man who can do anything/everything. Seriously. You want to trade Mr. Sunny Skies?????????????? Please do us all a favor and evaporate from existence.
Martin Prado is off-limits. Do not touch. This is NOT ok.

*Yes, I have been busy.
And yes, I actually have been writing posts, but things are happening
too fast for me… and the quality of the post just… was not good. I don’t claim to be the best writer in the
world, by any means, particularly when writing about sports, but still. There is a certain standard of quality I try
to follow before I decide to publish something that I wrote on the internet for
the 10 of y’all to see. In other words,
I have a backlog of posts about the playoffs, the World Series, Farewell-Player
posts, and trade rumors. Maybe i'll post some of them, or edit them so that they aren't so... obviously overdue.
