LOL: CJ/Twitter

[CarniifeX]

This is funny, though I would share.

 

As we all know, CJ has been rather subpar his 5 starts or so.  After his most recent start, he says in his post-game interview he is physically fine.

 

Today, he tweeted this: https://twitter.com/str8edgeracer/status/488467227432075265

 

Note the hashtag #gettingbetterfast

 

To me, that sounds like he really IS fine and thinks he shouldn't be on the DL.

 

 I then replied with this: #PhantomDLstint (as an inside joke frequently used here)

 

He then replied to me with this: https://twitter.com/str8edgeracer/status/488530331020980224

 

 

Thought it was pretty funny. I was obviously kidding. Then all hell broke loose. I'm getting tons of hate from fans.

 

Just thought I would share.

I'm Twitter deficient.

 

What does this all mean? He hurt or not? 

[fan_since79]

Since he's pitching like crap, I'm fine with a phantom-injury DL stint. As long as necessary, until he figures out that he needs to throw strikes.

Wilson called him a troll and said he has a torn ligament. Then, a bunch of fans defended Wilson.

Getting frustrated with a player on a message board is one thing . Attacking them directly kinda sucks.

[Butcher'd]

lol that's classic. Love it when players get butthurt over fans just horsing around

[Stradling]

I'm sure CJ read that and knew immediately that he was a fan that was joking around.

LOL clearly I was joking around. I get it from you guys anyway!

If you follow me on Twitter, you'd know that joking around with professional athletes is commonplace.

[Lhalo]

Maybe the dude has a torn ligament.

[ten ocho recon scout]

Its one thing to talk trash on this, a site for 'us'. Talking smack to anyone directly is totally different.

I doubt anyone on here wouldnt fire back if some stranger called them a p*ssy directly.

Im not telling you dont do it. Im not cj wilson, and im in no position to say what anyone should do on twitter. But whats it really going to accomplish?... (especially if 2 seconds later you Backstep and say youre a big fan)

Thanks 

 

EDIT: If CJ is offended by this, then he really is a b***h.

nice.

[Gil]

Wait, isn't a torn ligament worse than a sprain?

[ELEVEN]

Maybe the dude has a torn ligament.

Maybe

[yk9001]

Except for getting road tail, I have no earthly idea why pro athletes are on twitter.

For many it is a way to connect with their fans.

 

For CJ it is a way to showoff.

Unless he's playing well, then it's so he can connect with fans.

and showoff.

[Stradling]

But really to connect with fans.

[Jeff M]

Maybe he forgot which injury they told him he has...common for the phantom DL stint.

[nate]

But really to connect with fans.

 

Yeah this is how he connects with fans.  "Just me driving to work in my Bently #throwstrikes" "Here is me driving my awesome race car from CJ Douche Mazda racing team"

You seem to be knowledgable on a ton of different subjects Nate, I'm serious when I say that. Which means you probably have a lot of different types of hobbies or interests. So does CJ, one of those is racing. Heaven forbid he has money and enjoys life's luxuries. Let me guess if he tweeted about all his charity work you would say he's not really being charitable he's doing it for attention.

I am not sure why you are defending him.  Twitter is for whatever people want it for, but I have almost never seen CJ interact with his fans, he just brags about whatever he is doing.
