Sox Dump Seoul Power

Rarely do I yell aloud for joy when I read about guys getting shipped to Pawtucket. But I'll make an exception for Byung Hyun "Hung Slider" Kim. The official website says, Kim struggled mightily in Monday night's loss to Cleveland, lasting just 3 1/3 innings for his second consecutive start. See, that's the problem. He didn't struggle, he rolled over and died. Struggle indicates that you tried, that you worked, that it meant something to you. Kim just sucks. He sucks and he dies. He sucks and he dies and he flips off Red Sox Nation.

It's not just the flipping-off either. Mo Vaughn did that to me (and a few thousand others who waited through the rain delay) when we were chanting "Foxy Lady" at one of his return visits from Anaheim after he left the Sox. He smiled, flipped us off, and deposited the next pitch into the screen. There's no shame in that (Foxy Lady aside). But when you suck and then get mad at the fans who demand non-suckiness... that's just shameful. Take a lesson from Bronson Arroyo: he's chill, he works hard, he keeps his head down, he doesn't get mad. And he doesn't blow leads to the Yankees in October, which is another reason I think BK needs to go somewhere far away.
