And they did not hurt little Stevie Duggar’s feelings.
I really like your term, the very disrespectful Farhanburger. Great, great nickname, particularly for an MIT/UCBerkeley PhD who worked for Moneyball Billy Beane and drove the A's success, then was hired by the Dodgers as GM, then:
a) Took the Dodgers to their first World Series in 27 years in 2017.
b) Took the Dodgers to the World Series again in 2018.
c) Won 106 games this year.
Totally with you man. I long for the days of 98 and 89 losses, when the Giants owned, absolutely owned the basement. Doggone Farhanburger messing that up. He clearly doesn't know how to build a team. I mean getting a kid infielder who was the #15 overall pick in the draft last year, what the hell was Farhanburger thinking? And getting a 2017 All-Star shortstop. Jeez, Farhan is an idiot. And non-tendering the superb Kevin Pillar, hero of heroes -- sure, he strikes out all the time and can't field, but come on! 21 Home runs in just 645 at bats. And we could have had the second worst OBP player in the NL at just 31 years old for a mere $10 million! Idiot rebuilding Farhan...
