He's had one helluva career. [3] Valentine can go screw. He should be forced to wear clown shoes and a red nose in the dugout. Man, I saw Jones play in AAA when he was 21.

I know the guy was a multi-sport demigod in his school days, but he sounds like that whiny kid who was always picked last and resents it as an otherwise successful grown-up.

This is a spooky achievement on Valentine's part, because <i>it's not even the season yet</i>. It's as if that annual "tax freedom day" people talk about somehow happened <i>before</i> January 1. Valentine's annoyingness has transcended the laws of time and how has the power to operate in negative space. Honestly, I can picture him as a Warner Bros. cartoon character, pausing in mid-tiptoe to cast an aside through the fourth wall and tell the audience, "Shh! Watch how I add some spice to this rivalry I was just hired to start caring about!" Tee hee. Off-topic (carry-over from last night):
