What can you say about this guy? He's a left handed version of Craig Wilson.

I was at the game on Monday, it wasn't even that cold and that pussy LaRoche had a tossel cap on over his regular cap. What a freaking *****. Any good will fans had towards him before the season is starting to evaporate quickly.

He needs to turn around his April ASAP, or people are going to be calling for Eldred to start and wonder why we made yet another bad front office move.

Cardinal fans better be calling for Albert Pujols' head while were at it. I mean, the first two weeks are the end of the world, and all.


Second, I'd slap NYGF because he just seems to have it coming for him. I swear man you wouldn't last 5 minutes in California before you got your ass kicked. So I'd be doing him a service too. -hot corner gurl

Give it time.

Give him time? He's hitting below .100, his bat speed is slow as hell, and he's a pussy in the cold weather. I would bench his ass for the next game and have him think about how overrated he is.

I'm sorry, LaRoche does not deserve the "It's only 2 weeks into the season" bullshit. He's already blown enough chances to endear himself to the fans for 2 seasons...

Edit: It's kinda sad when Pirates fans(guys that are used to losing) are giving up on a guy after a week and a half, but that's how bad he's been, and there's no sign of end.

Yeah, it's from 2 years ago. I still love him.

I totally agree. He's had several opportunities with runners on to make something happen, and he does shit. Strike outs and weak ground outs happen, but stil he needs to convert on something, anything.

Tracy did bench LaRoche today! Eldred is 0-2. Solid.

Hmm, he was pulled late last night for Eldred as well, maybe that'll get him out of his slump.

I actually feel sorry for him going from a great team to one of the worst. I doubt it's LaRoche, it might be the team.

Please. LaRoche is the one swinging at shitty pitches and striking out, not the team. Simply put, LaRoche is WAY overrated.

I haven't seen his at bats but if he keeps going like that than he might be like Javy Lopez. Career year in '03 and has been dipping down ever since.

When John Schuerholz gives up on a player, he is usually right about the outcome. I can relate to Pirates fans in that we have a $45 million stiff named Juan Pierre.
