Put away the Eric Byrnes hate for a few

Printand read my Eric Byrnes story. My daughter, (aka The MarinerHouseWife), her kids, and I went to see the Mariners and the Rockies play in Albuquerque on April 3rd. That MarinerHouseWife was standing at the rail with her son, pointing out all the players as they were warming up. "There's Byrnesie! Hi, Byrnesiee!" she yelled at EB, jumping up and down in excitement. He waved at her and said, "I like your energy!" By this time, I had arrived with The Baby, who had been napping in the car. MarinerHouseWife, in our seats, pointed out EB to me. I was wearing my purple DBacks Byrnes jersey. I started yelling hello at him, and he turned around and waved to me. Then he got ready to throw the ball he had in his hand. Lots of people put their hands up, but he shook his head. I put my hand up and he threw the ball right to me. (And I even caught it!) Both my daughter and I were immediately even crazier baseball fans. My daughter's comment was, "I'm 12 years old!" It made our day even more fun.

I love Byrnes.
Just not when he’s being paid by my team.
I keep trying to reset my password to "penis", but it keeps telling me "too short".

Byrnes
As a fourth outfileder and occasional pinch hitter against lefties at the major leagure minimum is a GREAT deal. Byrnes as a starting outfielder at $30M is not a great deal.

as somebody else’s 4th OF and occasional pinch hitter for $30 million is NOT a great deal.

'Skins! Craig!
Read the title! Plenty of other places where we can criticize; I’m just telling a happy ST story. Sheesh. ;-)

Byrnes seems like a good guy
And I too had a fun ST experience with him this year. I had about a three minute chat with him and he seemed pretty genuine with his answers. You know, none of those automatic press answers that they all have programmed in them. He’s a good egg.
The hatred is arguably excessive, but hey, it’s baseball.
Wear your own fur.

If you want to bring the hate back out about Byrnes ...
read the fan shot I just put up … http://www.azsnakepit.com/2010/5/1/1453657/i-have-to-address-eric-byrnes-at
Thanks for missing the point.
I don’t think we need to “bring back the hate” for this particular note.

Thanks for a reason to want to come back today
I swear, my first thought was… “Oh no. Byrnes… oh lord, The Pit.”
You, however, are as always lovely and awesome. <3 (I’m not shocked, your family is made with awesome.)
My sig is a silent protest against the lack of hot on our team right now. Lame, Diamondbacks. Lame.
I miss your posts!
Come BAAAACK!!
(Are you going to Snakepitfest?)

You're just saying that because
you don’t want it to be my thing. :-P
But I do love babies.
Babies are awesome.
we're like a borg ship; resistance is futile-- soco via twitter.
No,
I’m saying it because that’s literally Liz’s thing.
ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO KELLY JOHNSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sadly
The babies will still be in Oregon.
