Stupidest Messageboard Commenter of the Week

ESPN.com MLB General Messageboard

Imac7065

Saturday night on the MLB General Message board a post was made questioning what teams cap Robb Nen would wear if he were to make the Hall of Fame. First off I had to inform this sad soul that Nen was on the ballot in ‘08 and only received 2 votes, thus ending his Hall of Fame bid after only one time on the ballot. The most ludicrous statement of all made by this apparent 'fan of the game' was that Nen was the most dominant closer in baseball from 1995-2002, better than even the great Mariano Rivera. He doesn’t stop there with the stupidity he goes on to state among other things Nen had a better career than Bruce Sutter, he calls Rivera’s cutter a gimmick pitch and states Nen is the better pitcher because he featured a greater number of pitches in his arsenal.

Check out the entire post for yourself. I don’t know whether to be totally furious or just deeply saddened by his sheer stupidity. Enjoy
