As much as I like talking about baseball, how did this make the main page? Don't we have a sports tab for this sort of thing?

I don't follow sports. Does this have something to do with Sarah Palin quitting?

No, but did you hear? Michael Jackson had a heart attack when he found out Megan Fox is bisexual.

Hey, Betancourt wasn't even the worst major league player traded today.

Who names their kid Yuniesky?

 
Dunit 2009-07-11 12:15:39 AM  
I assume that headline means that Prince Harry has started listening to old Extreme albums.

Or something??

Does this mean we can say don't let the door hit your ass on the way out to Tony Pena Jr?

Front page! Nothing but the best for the 2009 World Series champions! Let us mark this day, the day that they cemented their championshipiness!

I don't know of many people in Seattle who were sad to see this guy go. For Christs sake! He KO'd his own teammate ON THE FIELD.

It hurts so much to be a lifelong Royals fan.

 
Graduation Dog 2009-07-11 01:10:14 AM  
Cheer up KC! Yuni is just the ticket if you like your shortstops fat, lazy, and free swinging with no contact.

The Mariners' replacement ss is hitting around .150. He is also an unquestioned upgrade from Yuni, which should tell you how awful Betancourt is.

 
DrForrester 2009-07-11 01:15:49 AM  
Betancourt, Meche, Bloomquist, Guillen...

How bad do you have to be to serve as the dumping ground for the Mariners, fer chrissake?

/M's fan, see you on Griffey Jr. bobblehead night 8/7

 
Iczer 2009-07-11 01:25:44 AM  
Talk is that many Mariners fans up here are referring to the Royals as the "Little Ms" now with how many people they've gotten from us in trades.

/runs and hides lest the KC fans try dousing him in BBQ sauce

 
Your Average Witty Fark User 2009-07-11 01:28:27 AM  
Well, Betancourt did play in Seattle, and we all know Seattle is a complete shiathole, where decent players go to die, and horrible players go to get paid.

At least you aren't as pathetic as the Cubs.

Oh boohoo for both of you.

The Royals have participated in two World Series, winning in 1985

Number of World Series games in Seattle, Big farking ZERO

What, is Fark trying to prove that it isn't all about Boston vs. New York?

it is.

The Royals up front? Weird.

You should try being a Toronto fan... Worse? You should try being a Toronto fan in Maine, USA. Even a Yankee fan is better treated.

 
Do you know the way to Mordor 2009-07-11 06:04:52 AM  
That's strange- I don't remember the Colombian security forces trading a new prisoner in exchange for the release of Betancourt; I thought she was just flown out in a helicopter!

So what you are saying, is that you've been spared 100+ years of gut wrenching disappointment. Cubs fans cannot say the same.

greenlit to the main page?

really?

The one redeeming quality of being a Mariners fan is being able to eat garlic fries while looking at the Seattle skyline. Oh, watching the Angels come up regularly to whip up on 'em is fun too.
