Brian Bruney Sucks

In a blog -- which is a term short for web log --  post entitled "Washington Nationals: Brian Bruney Talks Arbitration On Sirius/XM," on the website entitled "Federal Baseball" which is part of the SB Nation network of team-specific blogs, but the one that focuses on the Washington Nationals baseball club, which is a member of the National League, and is owned by Theodore Lerner, an old man who made a few bucks developing strip malls after World War II, which was a conflict between the Axis and Allies that ended sometime in the 1940s, the author of the post who has a pseudonym  of Chigliak, which should not be confused with Chigur, who was the antagonist of the Academy Award-winning "No Country for Old Men", which might very well be the best movie the Coens made, although "Fargo", which won a Best Actress award for Frances McDormand for her portrayal of Marge Gunderson, the pregnant sherriff of the titular town, could give it a run for its money, as could "A Serious Man," which was genuinely excellent, building on many of the themes of nihilism that pervade much of their broader body of work, where even their lesser movies such as "Hudsucker Proxy" are still genuinely entertaining, so long as one ignores "The Ladykillers," which really should have all copies of it printed destroyed, transcribed, a role usually reserved for Washington Post Sports Bloggers, or as one of them is more popularly known, "Boggers", a name which has a lengthy explanation that we will reserve for a different sentence, an interview conducted between Brian Bruney, who should not be confused with former Olympic champion Brian Boitano, who is probably best known to younger generations of people as the guy from the "What Would Brian Boitano Do?" song, featured in the "Spirit of Christmas" short, which introduced the characters of "South Park" to the world, and the XM radio hosts, and during the interview, which is a type of conversation between multiple people typically used to inform or educate, Mr. Bruney revealed his displeasure with the arbitration process.

Jesus.  Enough of that.

Read what the guy says.  He whines and complains that the big bad team said big bad things about him.  Boo-freakin-hoo.  Get over it, lumpy.  Go read all his comments and laugh at Lumpy's cluelessness.  Awwww.

My favorite part though?

"it's never about money with me. I'm a firm believer in you pay a man an honest paycheck for an honest hard living. That's just the way I was raised, my parents raised me that way, and if I didn't feel like I was worth what I asked for I wouldn't have been there. I don't want any money given to me that's not rightfully mine, and so that's why we were there."


It's not about the money, and you didn't take the team's offer to avoid arb?  Screw you, Lumpy.


What did you think the arb process was going to be?  Were Stan's minions going to sit across the table and say "Well, even though Bruney's lumpy, out-of-shape, not all that good, and unable to pitch due to injury far too frequently, we think he's a swell guy, and we're looking forward to paying him a lot of dough!"


Idiot.


Of course, maybe the dude's just been reading the Nats' own press clippings, where everyone associated with the team couldn't want to lump (ahem) Lumpy in with all the other pickups as key acquisitions for the team's season.


Mike Rizzo believes he's a star... except when it comes time to pay the man, apparently.
