@Masterflip_ It's highly unlikely that a "writer" has that much gravitas...More likely his bat betrayed him...

Rey Ordóñez Breaks Silence on the Lie That Forced Him Out of New York:
During the 2002 offseason, I made what became a very costly “stupid” comment after a reporter twisted my words.
We had a good enough team to make the playoffs, but we fell short. The reporters were all over me, really attacking. I was just thinking to myself that I had played my usual season, nothing different. That’s when I said something along the lines of, “You think the fans are stupid? Or that we don’t want to win? We want to win even more than they do.”
The reporter took that and ran with the headline: “Rey Ordóñez says the fans are stupid.” That was the beginning of the end for me in New York. All of a sudden, people on TV were saying things like, “If I see anyone wearing a Rey Ordóñez jersey, I’ll choke them.” I got traded that December. The reporter apologized the next day, but I told him, “Papi, it’s too late. You already screwed me.”
I was traded to Tampa Bay on December 15th. Nobody officially told me why, but I knew it was because of those comments. That’s where the language barrier really hurt me. There was no regular translator back then. I used to casually feed reporters information in English, but my English wasn’t great. The reporter saw an opportunity and took full advantage of it.
I ran into him later at an activity in New York. I was ready to confront him, but some American friends told me to let it go. They said the New York fans were still cool with me and that I shouldn’t open up that can of worms. I wanted to tell him straight to his face that he had screwed me by creating such a bad image. Because for me, New York fans are the best. They get on you, but it’s only because they care so much about winning.

I really don’t understand the hate Jaxon Dart got for introducing President Trump. Good or bad..if you support Trump or not..you're in a lose lose situation. Politics and religion are difficult for sports. Folks have the right to believe in whatever the fuck they want.
I don't know..I just live by a code..As long as it's not interfering with my shit..do whatever you want because you've got to take whatever you're on up with God. I'm too much of a sinner to be judgmental and political.

@JayboneRyan @DanBartels2 Any work stoppage will permanently kill MLB. People will move on quickly & no home run race will be there to save it this time.

@TalkinMetsNoG But why Atlanta...Oh yeah they're a great organization...

Because he decided to take another job when the Mets negotiated - it’s business not that hard

Why did we get rid of Antoine Richardson again?

@JayboneRyan @MLBPA It’s up to you how you spend your money, but I’m curious why you think baseball is “dead and buried,” when all the evidence points to the contrary.

In other words, “greedy billionaires, exploit late-stage capitalism to profit *FURTHER* off the backs of their workforce.” The @MLBPA accepting a salary cap would effectively destroy what little power unions have left in the USA. If you’re a fan who wants a cap, you’re an idiot.
