BUMP FREAKIN' BUMP!!!

Fire his ass now. Put his stuff in hefty bags while he's in Dallas and sit them outside of the headquarters.

When a general manager gets out bid for a player, why is it his faut?

Or are you saying the Lerners told him to spend and he didn't want to?

For two years, he's stated a clear priority and failed both times. How about not stating a priority if you can't come through.

"Fair market value" is the loser's mantra.

Don't we credit him with getting the owners to spend on drafts? Either spending decisions are independent of Rizzo or they aren't

Why are we firing just Rizzo? He isn't the one (not) writing the checks

Oh no. He didn't over pay for a 32 year old number 3 pitcher and a shortstop who averages about .25 games missed a season. Please, spare me.

I'll be shocked. Hanley will ft angry and sulk. Reyes will underwhelm and then.go on the DL. Buehrle will post a whip of around 1.300 and the fish won't win the.division, nor will they challenge for the wild.card.

Rizzo's overall veracity of his pursuit of certain players reminds me of the Peter Popoff commercials selling Miracle Spring Water. One big elaborate ruse.
