    Hahah, Josh "Byrned" ...a typo that is so ironic.

    I take that back. Boston could use a catcher now.

    Re: A.J. Hinch and Josh Byrned fired

    The Dbags are still paying deferred salaries to guys like Bernard Gilkey, Armando Reynoso, and Robbie Alomar.
    News Headlines
    The Diamondbacks past ownership was all about doing what they had to to win. It worked. In 2001, they agreed to pay its roster of players $85 million and beat the Yankees in the World Series that year. But doing what they had to do to win also meant deferring $244 million that they owed to players.
    I would taunt at what they've done if I wasn't pissed off that McCourt is pulling the same shit with the contracts of Pierre, Andruw, Schmidt, Manny, and Furcal.

    But it's fitting that Bryan Colangelo, son of former Dbags owner Jerry, used $34 million of the Toronto Raptors' money to re-sign Amir Johnson today.

    Re: A.J. Hinch and Josh Byrned fired

    Byrnes is getting his ass kissed around the blogosphere, much like Paul DePodesta after he was let go as GM. Ten bucks says he ends up in San Diego and reunites with DePo and the rest of the douchebags in Theo Epstein's clique. Plus, his connection to Moorad seals the deal.

    Per Buster Olney:
    Nothing less than stunning: The D-Backs have fired GM Josh Byrnes and manager A.J. Hinch. Byrnes will be unemployed for about 0.2 seconds. First, the Diamondbacks have him under contract for the next five years, and secondly, he is very, very, very highly regarded — and now some team can hire him as a consultant until he gets his next GM job, and it will be on the D-Backs’ dime.

    From a rival high-ranking executive, about the D-Backs’ changes: “That is a brutal decision. They just tore apart one of the best front offices in baseball.”

    Another GM on the D-Backs’ change at GM: “Absolutely crazy.”

    Completely forgot Alomar briefly played for Arizona. That was his last team, wasn't it?

    Alright Porter, here we go. Neither Mofo or Leo engage in an argument, fight, or debate.

    It doesn't count if they bicker after the fact!

    Josh "Byrned" joins the Padres, takes over DePo's former role, presumably. A.J. Hinch is already there, too!

    I'm shocked mofo hasn't bumped this thread more often.

    Probably spending way too much time bitching about his shitty first place team.
