Well, just when I thought the Doug Fister for Robbie Ray, Ian Krol and Steve Lombardozzi trade could not get any worse, I was proven wrong.
If it wasn’t bad enough that Dave Dombrowski dealt one of the Top 15 starting pitchers in all of baseball — and a dude who probably will finish in the Top 5 of NL Cy Young balloting — for three players who didn’t contribute in 2014 ….
If it wasn’t awful enough that even if the Tigers HAD to trade Fister (they didn’t), they COULD have received some depth and bullpen help in return since … ya know … they got eliminated from the postseason because they had NO BENCH and because their relief pitchers SUCKED …..
If it didn’t hurt enough already to watch Fister throw a gem during the playoffs while Ray and Krol were who-the-fuck-knows where while a pitcher DRAFTED SEVEN MONTHS after that abortion of a trade (Brandon Finnegan) participated in the Kansas City Royals World Series run …..
…the deal got even worse for any Tigers fans who believe in science and reason with this inane Tweet from Ray a couple of weeks ago:
The big bang? Yeah sure. God said it and bang it happened #Genesis

Was that a song from before or after Phil Collins left the band? I don’t recall those lyrics from “Invisible Touch.” Now, I don’t follow this Jesus freak on the Twat Box. I don’t follow many athletes at all because most of them have rocks for brains and rarely post anything worth reading. No, I caught wind of this idiocy because @FreepSports Re-Tweeted it into my timeline. So, me being the vicious asshole that I am … I Tweeted the following:
Could this trade getting ANY FUCKING WORSE? RT @robbieray22: The big bang? Yeah sure. God said it and bang it happened #Genesis — Jeff Moss (@JeffMossDSR) October 16, 2014
That led to the garbage southpaw prospect responding as follows ….
@JeffMossDSR go spam someone else’s timeline no one asked you to follow me bud — Robbie Ray (@robbieray22) October 16, 2014
Ummm, I don’t follow you. And someone needs to explain to this evolution-denying asshat what SPAM is.
@robbieray22 not only are you a shitty pitcher, you’re a real dumb fucking guy.

I think it was that last blast that upset this religious wacko and caused him to report me to the Twitter Police; just a little while later, I received this email:
Garbage pitcher? Check.
Jesus Freak? Check.
Narc? Check.
This lunatic is to the right of the FUCKING POPE on the theory of evolution!!!!
I mean ….
I gotta know how this deal could get any more depressing.
