-July 11 2008: RICHIE SEXSON HAS FINALLY BEEN RELEASED BY THE MARINERS!! Richie Sexson Watch gets updated, obviously.
(Updated July 11)
Richie Sexson is a piece of garbage. For some reason unknown to me, the Mariners have decided to hit him cleanup this year. What a perfect spot for a guy who hit .205 last season. Three games into the season, fans at SAFECO field are already booing him. Good. People should express their displeasure with the big oaf, especially since he's making an ungodly amount of money for the production he isn't providing. I will update Richie Sexson's pathetic stats weekly until he is replaced by Jeff Clement.
JULY 11:
Since my last update, a lot has happened. Imbecile hitting coach Jeff Pentelland was fired, Clueless general manager Bill Bavasi was fired and field manager John McLaren was also fired. Now that all three of the guys that needed to be fired (Pentelland, Bavasi, and Sexson) are gone, I'm taking my family out to dinner tonight to celebrate!
MAY 26:
MAY 8:
-May 8 2008: The 25 best/worst hair metal bands page is still in the works and will be ready later.
-May 1, 2008: Began work on new page which was prompted by Yahoo.com's list of the day, which was the 25 best and worst hair metal bands. It was obvious that the writer had absolutely no idea what he was talking about, so I am going to set the record straight by preparing my own lists of the 25 best and worst hair metal bands, which should be online by the end of the weekend.
-April 2, 2008: Added The Richied Sexson Watch to the main page, which will follow his abysmal stats until he is replaced by Jeff Clement. Hopefully.
-February 24, 2008: Added important announcement to HairMetalLives!! (also posted below), changed graphic for "Links" page, & updated all sites with a new E-Mail page.
Richie Sexson was FINALLY fired by the Mariners yesterday after being a dick upon learning he wasn't in the starting lineup the previous game. He didn't say anything, but Manager Jim Riggleman could tell the Big Oaf wasn't happy. The final straw was Big Richie leaving the bench and spending the game in the bullpen. What a fucking baby! I sincerely hope he enjoys his new career as a video rewinder at Blockbuster. Adios, Ass Hole!
Jeff Clement's call-up certainly wasn't a success. He's back in the minor leagues, but he actually hit very well when he didn't DH, which is what McLaren had him do most of the time. Clement should get called back up, be installed as the starting first baseman, and Richie Sexson should be released.
Sexson has since been moved out of the cleanup spot, but he's still in the starting line-up. Sparingly used firstbaseman/outfielder Greg Norton, who the Mariners traded to Atlanta after being designated for assignment, was hitting .438 at the time of his departure. Why didn't we DFA Sexson and keep Norton? Bill Bavasi really is a clueless idiot. Here's hoping he gets fired, as well.
