The most overpaid player in New York

This is in regards to my recent tirade against Jose Reyes. You are not nearly as overpaid as other players in New York. Nor are you, Carlos Beltran, possesor of a contract you did nothing to deserve.

A-Rod, even though you grounded into a rally-killing double play a mere two innings ago, in which somehow, the bases were loaded and you managed to leave the Yanks with two outs and runners on FIRST AND SECOND (HOW THE FUCK DOES THAT HAPPEN??), no, even you are not the most overpaid player in New York, because you are a gangsta when you need to be.

No, LaTroy Hawkins, you are tonights, "Worst Player in the World," and Girardi, you win, "Worst Decision of the Year," for bringing this guy in. We needed a win, not a goat. LaTroy, I am going to get you your own personal tin can and watch you chew it ad infinitum.

Bringing in LaTroy Hawkins is akin to saying, "I really don't care about this game," because I don't think this guy has factored into a decision since signing his 3.75 million a year deal with New York. Girardi, what were you thinking? Your team was just on a five game tear and then lost one they should have been able to hold onto. After managing to keep a game at 8-8, and battling back after a rain delay and A-Rod's lack of clutch productivity to go up 9-8, you bring in LaTroy Hawkins? Please, bring in Stephen Hawking instead, and yes I know it was an obvious reference but I'm not about subtlty right now. I don't care if Joba is going to be a starter, we need W's now, and your team needs it's swagger. How many extra inning wins do we have? 0. How many come from behind victories do we have after 7 innings? 1. What could tonight have done? Please, Joe, I don't need to spell it out for you, the writing is on your chiseled abs, and it's even upside down for your convenience.

Hawkins came into this game with a 6.00 ERA, only slightly worse than Ian Kennedy. A lead-off single, an out, a double that scores the run, intentionally loading the bases, and then leaving some fat pitch to some fat kid who still has his Cubbies picture up on ESPN instead of his Baltimore digs. I am incensed and outraged right now, and I don't know who to blame. We went from winning five in a row to losing two in a row, to the Orioles. Think about that, a team that many predicted to come in sixth in a field of five teams in the East. You think about that Joe, you think about what you've done.

And as for you, LaTroy, you aren't even worth my creative efforts. I will say it plain and simple, "You suck. You are a bum. Get out of town." I would have entrusted the game to Shelly Duncan sooner than this clown.

-Jobimoto out.
I am literally too disgusted write a good closing quip in here.
