I think you’re overreaching for your anger here. He’s simply pointing out that making that kind of dough puts you in the spotlight, and booing comes with the territory. Doesn’t mean he has to like it. But he’s right: There are plenty of .220 hitters who make $1 million and don’t get booed.

Actually, he wouldn’t even be playing regularly if he were making “only” $1 million. The M’s have to justify his salary by keeping him in the lineup.

Sexson hit .205 last year. If he actually were to become a waiter, would it be acceptable for him to only get 20.5% of the orders correct? The answer is yes, but only if he worked at Varlamos. I’d also like to point out that he probably makes more money than the rest of his hometown, combined.

Consider yourself booed, Brush Prairie mf’er!

I think his agent is great. I don’t even care about the ridiculous contract that much. I just don’t think Sexson should be whining about being booed.

I don’t think it’s Richie’s fault he has a good agent. In MLB, the Mariners are basically an ATM machine for average players who can be labeled as ‘good guys’.

I thought Bucky Jacobsen was going to be our first baseman – what happened to him?

Willie Bloomquist and Richie Sexson are still Mariners?

But Willie’s scrappy! He’s a sparkplug!

Spare me. I feel no regret or shame when it’s time to boo terrible players. I consider it their asshole tax. I mean, not only do you get to do this incredibly fun gig for an exorbitant sum of money, but you get to do it poorly?

“If I was making a million, people wouldn’t care.”

This never stopped me from booing the shit out of Willie Ballgame.
