Orlando Hudson Thinks Dye Is Black

what a shame, maybe if he cared so much he would quit that way Dye can take his spot! Regardless this is a joke and completely uncalled for to begin the season. Im sure you wont hear anyone else complain of being out of work because of their color, it would really start a problem then.

He turned down the Nats. Race plays no part in this. His career is on the decline. Same reaseon Carlos Delgodo is without a team. And Carlos is, oh wait, black as well.

Dye will catch on when he brings his asking price down a few notches.

His arguments were moronic. If the best examples, he can come up to show organizational racism are Jermaine Dye and Gary Sheffield, then he clearly needs to rethink his position. The former is a has been and the latter is a total jerk. They both want to paid more than they are worth, because of “respect.” I’m absolutely sick of players who demand respect, but then do not behave in a manner worthy of respect.

My personal opinion, is that Orlando Hudson is pissed off that he was forced to take one year offers the past two seasons. He’s pissed that he was benched during the last half of 2009 in favor of Ronnie Belliard of all people. He’s pissed that he wasn’t offered a multi-year deal. He’s probably pissed that he’s playing in Minnesota. He’s pissed about all of these things and he’s venting on the whole racism issue.

that’s all i can say

He turned down a great contract from Washington because he thought he could do better. He should have been grateful for the offer since his production stank after the All-Star last year.

Hate to break it to you, Orlando, but you’re black. And you were a free agent. And the Twins paid you over $5 million bucks to play that little boy’s game you love. Not only that, but the rap on you was that you’d lost a step in the field, and so far this season you have indeed been a step short on a few grounders that Alexi Casilla or Punto would have reached. The Twins gave you a fat paycheck anyway, not because you’re black, but because, unlike Punto and Casilla, your batting average is higher than your weight.

It’s one thing to raise accusations of racism in baseball, but it’s ironic when you yourself are the best argument against your claim. That’s not to say there’s no racism is baseball (of course there is, it’s everywhere), but in this case I think Dye and Sheffield are unemployed because they’re past their prime but still asking for prime money.

Meanwhile, I hope you have a great season, because now you’re on the Twins. Go Twins!
