The independent leagues pay that much?
Grocery baggers must only get paid yearly
HoRam and Thornton get paid more
No matter what you may believe, Matt Thornton is good now
He has been pitching like absolute death to rallies, hasn't he?

Did he learn a 2nd pitch or something?

He learned how to throw strikes overnight
I'm still happy he doesn't play for us
Because if he did he'd still suck
Matt Thorton terrifies me. He's awesome.
I like that almost all of our September callups are nonprospects
Where do you get that idea?

Rookies struggle others don’t and those are your ROY people.

Jake Woods is not a rookie
I don't think you'll last long around here
Well, he's made it a day so far.
Was that supposed to be humor?
No. He registred for the site 9/9.
What does this even mean?
Good question

Sometimes you eat the bear and sometimes the bear eats you?

Don’t shit in your hat and call it a donut?

I have no clue.

That's true, you need to specify that it's a chocolate donut
Let's try to break this down.

“Where do you get that idea?”

Is he referring to Jeff’s post? I’m assuming so since it isn’t a reply to anything else. In that case, is he asking where Jeff got the idea that life is fair? Is he referring to the fact that Mystic Tan sucks? Who knows.

“Rookies struggle others don’t”

Perhaps a comma and a period would clear this up here:Rookies struggle, others don’t. Here he may be subscribing to the whole “BUT THE VETERANS1!” crap. But as Gomez pointed out, Woods is not a rookie.

“And those are your ROY people”

Is he again referring to Woods(see above)? Is he saying that Woods is a possible Rookie of the Year candidate? Is he referring to the new posters here at LL?

Bottom line:What the fuck?

My guess is it was supposed to be "Some rookies struggle, others don't"

“And those others are your ROY people”

Maybe?

this is how I read it
So, in summation:

Some rookies suck, some are good, and others are just okay.

I get it now, it’s a Mitch Hedberg reference

Yet I still don't find it funny.
Perhaps because you did not receive the ROY.
Congratulations to Fogel for winning ROY though!
Fogel got one vote.
I counted at least two from Graham

Robert, Fogel, LFoJL, Ian? all voted for him as well

I'm sorry, did I miss a poll?

Fogel doesn’t get to vote for himself three times.

Here's the real question

I have a LLemmies FanPost drafted and pretty close to ready. Should we actually vote or just leave them be?

I'd say if we do it quickly, it won't get annoying.

But if we stretch it out everyone will be sick of it.

In that case I say that I'll arbitrarily hand out the awards
I don't know if I approve of this method.
I'll award you Troll of Year
Yeah, see what that gets you.
Alright alright fine, you won ROY

but BrianL did get at least one vote

As opposed to my many legions of fans.
Maybe he wasn't saying ROY (Rookie of the Year).

Maybe he was saying ROY (Corcoran).

Eh, EH? Yeah, probably not.

Not to be a complete attention whore or anything

but slurvey, have you read this yet? Give it a read. Then try again.

Pssh...I make more than that.

Oh wait, that’s for like a month? Fuck that guy.

Life is not fair

Blue Jays run differential – +95
Angels run differential – +62

Blue Jays standing – 4th, AL East
Angels standing – clinched AL West

If the Angels were New York Angels of Buffalo, they’d be the fifth best team in their division

I apologize, Toronto is currently third in the AL East
They would be the New York Angels of New Jersey and Westchester County
