Making Fun of Annoying Players is a Good Idea. Making Fun of Intelligent, Courageous Players is Not.

I just got off the phone with my dad. He called just to tell me that this past weekend was the best baseball weekend of his life. He enjoyed both an Orioles sweep of the Yankees and a Nats sweep of the Diamondbacks. It was indeed a glorious weekend of baseball and a glorious weekend for signs at baseball games.

From yesterday's game in Baltimore:


"5 Years Later
You're still a traitor.
How's the ring fit?"

It is too bad he couldn't find a way to also mention the fact that Mussina still has not ever won 20 games in a season.

Yesterday's Pedro vs. Al Leiter game at Shea was a great game. The fans had a great time booing Carlos Delgado who spurned the Mets' contract offer this offseason. Others liked to boo him because of his political beliefs.


"Delgado is still an American disgrace"

No punctuation on public signs is still an American disgrace.

What does Delgado think he's up to, expressing an opinion about politics? Doesn't he realize athletes are supposed to be unthinking, blinkered Republicans?
