I Just Made A Man Invent The Derogatory Term "VORPies."
via FIRE JOE MORGAN by Junior on February 25, 2008
It's a historic day. For years, man has waited for just the right term to use when insulting other men who love baseball numbers just a little too much. (What are they, gay for numbers? Probably.) And now, just like the wait for Shrek 3, that wait is ogre.Jon Heyman has called us VORPies.Sorry VORPies, Rollins was the right choiceI can't decide what the funniest voice to read this in...

There's a War Brewing
via FIRE JOE MORGAN by Ken Tremendous on March 09, 2008
in Cincinnati. On one side: the Dustyites. On the other side: common sense. Articles are being written every day celebrating the folksy wisdom of a man who thinks bases are only good when there's no one standing on them.

Boogeymanness >> OBP
via FIRE JOE MORGAN by Junior on May 09, 2008
We all know Barry Bonds is a bad dude. Does illegal whaling in Japan in the off-season, helps cars hit old ladies crossing the street, has a huge collection of pirated LaserDiscs. Crusty sportswriters -- I'm giving you this one. Not defending Barry's character.But recently we've had a plethora of "good thing Team X didn't sign Barry!" pieces, culminating in that crazy Tim...
