That darling Trevor Hoffman is being nursed for his phony little stats by lots of other phonies

Remember how he was really mad last summer--he & his arrogant agent said he should be making more than Mariano Rivera? Nobody wanted him. WHEN DOES HE COME IN WITH MEN ON BASE AS MARIANO IS ASKED TO DO ALL THE TIME? He wasted Cleveland's time for awhile, then got the Padres to hire his brother, Glenn Hoffman & get rid of some other Padres players so they could pay little Trevor extra. And why? To nurse his stats, to get reporters to write stupid articles about how great and historic this idiot is. Because reporters can make up anything they want without consequence. Every voice on ESPN, most voting members of the BBWAA, & numerous baseball figures such as the phony Theo Epstein are also complicit in boosting this twirp. You see, the major #2 benefit of boosting Trevor is KEEPING MARIANO RIVERA FROM GETTING THE RECOGNITION HE DESERVES. For example, in a ridiculous pandering piece about Trevor this month, Orange County Register's Mark Whicker notes
Bruce Bochy, Hoffman's only manager since 1995, knows Hoffman considers his own arm a bank. Each warmup pitch is a withdrawal, and it counts. The eighth inning is someone else's province. Hoffman has only topped 70 innings once since 1998. He also hasn't worked more than one inning in a game since August 29, 2004.
So, Hoffman hasn't worked more than 1 inning in almost 2 years, & even every warmup pitch is a withdrawal from the bank. THIS PHONY, SHAMELESS CAMPAIGN MUST BE STOPPED. THE 'SAVES' STAT DOES NOT MEAN WHAT TREVOR AND HIS LACKIES ARE IMPLYING. BUT, THERE IS NO SUPERVISION AT MLB OR AMONG THE POLITICIANS IN THE BASEBALL AWARDS VOTING. Or is there? Hey, Mark Whicker, we all have access to stats. The greatest closer in the history of baseball? Not your pal from the pitchers' park on the west coast who's being fed and nursed just to get publicity from frauds like you. THE GREATEST CLOSER IN HISTORY IS OF COURSE, MARIANO RIVERA. EITHER LOOK IT UP, OR ASK ANY MANAGERS OF TEAMS WHO'VE PLAYED AGAINST HIM SINCE THE POST SEASON OF 1995. AND YES, THE POST SEASON COUNTS, WHERE RIVERA HAS PITCHED 111 INNINGS. WOULD YOUR PRECIOUS BOY LIKE TO TAKE THAT OUT OF THE BANK FOR HIS TEAM? OBVIOUSLY, NOT.
  • In a world where power is highly centralized, those who say a few words that differ from the big money machine's are often called names, accused of being deranged, etc. Rather than respond to the actual content of the material presented, the elites in charge will simply negate other views by calling them "hate speech," etc. It goes on in all walks of life, espeically on the internet.

  • You're absolutely right--I'm fuming.
    I should direct my energies on this matter to the proper channels.

  • I'm quite clear he thought he'd be sailing in. I'm also clear that things have changed in the past few years in
    peoples' ability to acquire information. Certain people thought they could do anything they wanted, but found out otherwise. He's really secondary to me--my main interest is making sure correct and
    complete information gets out--not phony info.
