Cito's Back!

I just saw this!

Honestly, it’s surprising John Gibbons lasted this long. Never would have guessed they’d bring back Cito! Anyone still have one of those Cito Sucks tees?

I wish.

I used to have a tee with a cartoon Oriole bird clobbering a cartoon Blue Jay at home plate.

WOW.

I think this officially makes them the Blow Jays again, stupid new unis aside.

Hey, they're wearing the old school threads on Friday nights.

Let’s just hope that Guts doesn’t step on a nail the next time we visit Toronto.

Not sure why I typed "know" instead of "not"

Because you're a dick

At least that’s why Cito didn’t do it.

I HATE that asshole.

I want the O’s to finish 15 games ahead of that bastard now. I HATE that bastard.

Remember

the title of the post answers your original question “How do you NOT put Mussina in that game.”

So I answered the subject you used. It wasn’t aimed at you. Nuance doesn’t always translate well on the internet.

No worries

I followed what you were saying. We’re united in our hatred of Cito

YOU'RE NOT A PARIAH, YOU'RE A DICK.

No, really I was talking about Cito. Really. ;)

Actually, both are true

depending on the day. I’m a nice guy sometimes. Cito? Cito’s a dick every day.

Ricciardi should to be next

Have any of you read the comments flying back and forth between him and Adam Dunn? What a clueless jackass. Adam Dunn has a lot of great one-liners in his response, though.

I’d love to have Adam Dunn.

JP has apologized to the Reds and Dunn.

that's true

still the right thing to do though.

I love a team/city/fanbase united in hating someone/something

I mean it kind of goes inline with Weavers quote about there should be bad blood between teams. But the whole Cito thing was a little overblown. He didn’t put Mussina in to the game; supposedly he was asked not to by Oates unless neccesary because of his shoulder. Cito even told Mussina before the game he wouldn’t pitch unless it went extra.

That being said, Cito Sucks.

The one thing I still love about Mussina

was showing Cito’s chump ass up by going and getting loose on his own. His explanation? “It was my day to throw anyway.”

Loved it.

I can't remember what the T-Shirts look like

Here’s someone who already mocked up a “Cito Still Sucks” t-shirt; but I don’t think they really looked anything like this:
