Fuentes Badmouths Angel Fans

"It was funny. I felt like I was pitching on the road quite a bit. I came in to a lot of boos, but the fans here come out in droves. They’re here to be entertained. They’re entertained one way or another, through my frustrations or through my success. I felt like I’ve given them a lot more success than failure."
—Brian Fuentes

This out of context quote

This was hyped to shit by Mark Saxon, professional shit-stirrer that gives us bloggers a bad name, is totally out of context with what Fuentes said.

Even out of context

it doesn’t really sound like bad-mouthing. The man answered a question honestly. Good for him.

With humility, even.

He basically conceded that he fucked up sometimes, and that fans here were passionate enough to fill the seats consistently.

Agreed.

He actually kinda laughed when he said it. For all his faults, Brian has shown himself to be nothing, if not a very humble, classy guy. Good dude.

Late to the party and a misrepresentation of what Fuentes said.

Otherwise, great effort.

Flagged...

Fuentes spoke the truth, he did not bad mouth us. Show some class and let it go.

I love this team.

Aggressive stance

44fan claims that it is a fact Vlad will get hurt. Here is to your "borrowed time" Vlad. You were, are, and will be the man Vlad.

Is that like Larry Craig in a men's room?

Nice one

No I just meant flagging was a tad harsh

Sorry...

it was a joke “flag.” You fell into the sar-chasm … but I wasn’t clear it was a joking tone.

I was dead serious in letting it go, though. Kinda like the John Lackey meme is a lot tired and overused. “He bad-mouthed us.” BS. He had words put into his mouth and was very non-committal on an issue I felt like he could have very easily come out and said the truth. We (so-cal fans) are more laid back. That’s a fact.

I love this team.

Well that makes sense. It seemed out of character for you

Obviously Fuentes shit talk is like his fastball

Weeeeeeeeaaaaaaaakkkk

Our fanbase sucks too

So there is that.

I brought sexy back, but they only gave me store credit....

by PhiSlamma on Aug 31, 2010 10:43 AM PDT reply actions

And now he expressed that he would rather close in MIN

Know your role beeyatch

by hauldog on Aug 31, 2010 12:29 PM PDT reply actions

Whoa...

I didn’t know he said that now. That’s pretty dumb. Last i heard he said the right things like “I’m pretty sure Capps is closing and i will just go to the ballpark to see what my job is / do what they tell me to do.” (paraphrased)

I love this team.

by Downing Rules on Aug 31, 2010 1:34 PM PDT up reply actions

He said he understood but he would rather be closing

My take is you got traded to a new team in a pennant race why even say that at all

Can anyone confirm this?

I heard this from a Halo Fan earlier today. I guess Brian Fuentes was interviewed by MLB Radio Network today:

stuff & threw it in the trash & got on a plane”

by maze88 on Aug 31, 2010 2:02 PM PDT reply actions

Now, that would piss me off.

And I found it via “TalkLASports’” twitter feed here.

I love this team.

by Downing Rules on Aug 31, 2010 3:16 PM PDT up reply actions

However, I want to find that dumpster...

Maybe I can get a hat or jersey out of the deal.

I love this team.

by Downing Rules on Aug 31, 2010 3:18 PM PDT up reply actions

I don't think it's that big a deal

He doesn’t need it anymore and I doubt his memories here are fond ones

And so...?

What’s your point? That he no longer wears the gear of his former employer? I know that when I was hired away to work for another employer, I didn’t wear the colors of the previous one.

This is hardly a slight to the Angels.
