The guy I always felt bad for when he was introduced was Ethan Faggett, an outfielder who played here when we had the Padres' AAA farm club.

One of my best friends from Childhood has the last name Faggins. He just made Major in the Army.

 

Major Faggins....

Ok, in addition to his "Failed Starter" t-shirt, this tweet makes me like this dude even more:

If you say Boston I'm ignoring you.

I'm sure Boston is a great city to visit if you can manage to avoid interacting with Bostonians.

Well I'm glad he's no longer Private Faggins.

What is with the sudden use of “y’all”?

Not sure what you mean?  He owns a farm and generally seems to be a pretty down-to-earth guy, so him using "y'all" doesn't seem all that surprising.

And he's from Ohio, so it works.

It sucks when you sign on to AW and see a bunch of activity in the Trade Thread only to read the last page and it is about dumb last names and NY.

Fine but it is used all the time now by people not from the South.  Seem contrived and awkward.

25 and a half hours till the deadline, and no sign of the Angels flushing any of those turds in the bullpen.

I’m pretty impatient as I think the Angels should be active.

Maybe y’all need to check in more frequently.

That's because it is.

39 Pages and not one single move from Perry so far.

Could very well be an indication that we are sellers.

He had one movement after his coffee this morning.  Does that count?

As someone who's actually from the South (and a VERY redneck/traditional Southern background, specifically), I don't have a problem with it and don't feel that it's contrived.

Well with your redneck background, your organized and eloquent response comes off as contrived.

Dumb it up a little more next time.  Keep it real dog.

Based on the lack of moves, Perry might just still be trying to make that movement happen. Constipation on two fronts.

Perry Dipoto 

[Dtwncbad]

MLB just pushed out story about how the Padres have their eyes set on a pair of Aces, Scherzer and Berrios.

Cant believe they forgot about Heaney.

As usual I need more information.  I suggest whether it counts or not is dependent upon both appearance (scouting, primarily) and data.  I’ll let that one just drop in here.
