I'm not fine. They told me I'd have the opportunity to close some games, and we've had 20-some save opportunities since then and I haven't even had one.

Still a douche.

just because he changes uniforms and cities,

doesn’t mean his selfish douchiness is gone.

I recall him blowing like one or two games.

I'm playing a tiny violin for him.

To be technical

every time he entered the game when his team was leading by 3 or less he had the opportunity to close the game.

From the Yahoo article:

Rodriguez said he has not spoken to Roenicke about his frustration and he’s waiting for the right moment.

I bet they’ll look favorably that he chose to talk to the media about it first. Krod’s brilliant series of choices continues.

Also, Axford has been one of the best closers this season. He’s converted something like 39 straight opportunities.

What an asshole

Judging by this quote he really doesn’t care about helping his team, he simply cares about bolstering his own stats.

never been so happy to see a Met in another team’s uniform.

At 5:30 PM EDT today Starting today at 5:00 PM EDT, witness one of the greatest renderings of visual sound effects ever!

UPDATE 1: My browser has crashed several times in the process from all the rants (FUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!) - as a result, there will instead be 4 or 5 separate installments of fxcarden's Nightly Rants! from 2011, with a similar pattern for the 2012 rants. Take my word for it, when I say that it's for the best. Here's the revised schedule:

Volume 1: 2011
No. 1: Today at 5:00 PM EDT
No. 2: Tomorrow
No. 3: Thursday
No. 4 and No. 5 (?) TBD

UPDATE 2: Vol. I, No. 1 (July, 2011) is now up!
