Red Sux fan Kevin at IA pulls no punches in discussing reliever Byun-hyun “I just flipped off Beantown” Kim. In his latest post on Kim, he writes:
The much-maligned BK can now add “quitter” to his already impressive resume. It should go nicely alongside “choker,” “ingrate,” “whining pussy,” and “emotional basketcase.” Apparently he came up with a sudden case of shoulder soreness, and ruled himself out of pitching in the decisive games 3-5 (all Sox victories by the way) of the Oakland series.
Funny timing that, particularly for a pitcher known for his rubber arm and ability to pitch long relief stints in back to back games without any problems. Well, at least in the past he had that ability. Now, when the post-season pressure is on and memories of Tino Martinez and Scott Brosius are dancing through his head, little BK’s rubber arm has now turned to balsa wood.
And in an ealier post, he writes:
Closers need thick skin and balls of steel. Kim’s got the sensitivity of a middle school girl and a fat smelly vagina where a sac should be hanging. That may be good for Japanese porn, but it’s hardly what you want in your bullpen.
Ouch! Of course, as a fan of the most storied franchise in baseball, I find this all rather disappointing - I was looking quite forward to watching Giambi and Matsui tee-off on Kim during the AL Championship Series. Well, no worries… I guess we’ll have to watch the Yanks abuse some other poor Boston schmuck this time around.
PS: Note to Kevin - ditch Blog-City. MT/Typepad’s the way to go.
