How I Got Blocked By Mike Wilner

I do! I do! @brennanwoolley: Does anyone else think @Wilnerness590 is a jackass?

I do too, Wilner. I do too. It happens to most active Twitter users who are Jays fans. Getting blocked by Mike Wilner is a big step in any tweeps digital life. So, I thought, why not chronicle this special event?


In case you have been living in a shell this happened.

Ichiro Suzuki grounds a single past a diving Lawrie and they stop the game - #yankees empty dugout to say mazel tov. #Bluejays #Jays

Yes, that's Wilner's roundabout, in denial way of saying "Ichiro Suzuki has 4000 career hits". Combined in MLB and the Japanese League. Wilner doesn't like this whole 4000 stuff. He proceeds to be his usual cocky, snarky, "I am right, you are wrong" self.

I'm going to have to give Fred McGriff a call and congratulate him on his 500 homers (493 in #MLB, 38 in AAA). #Bluejays #Jays #yankees

Different leagues, though. @SportsnetTicker: It took Ichiro Suzuki 173 fewer games than Pete Rose to reach 4,000 hits.

I just don't get why people are suggesting that hits in #NPB and #MLB are the same. They're not. Mazel tov to Suzuki, though.

I see lots of guys' A-ball stats on their plaques. @morert1958: @Wilnerness590 @frizzer11 Professional baseball is professional baseball
— Mike Wilner (@Wilnerness590) August 21, 2013

Apparently quite difficult to comprehend. Hits in Japan aren't the same. @cackey78: Ichiro. Rose. Cobb. #4000hitclub #nothardtocomprehend

Did I miss the big celebration when Hideki Matsui hit his 500th home run in Professional Baseball? #OhRight #ThereWasntOne #MLB
— Mike Wilner (@Wilnerness590) August 22, 2013

That was a fact. @LouisKaminskii: @Wilnerness590 yeah mike like when you said melky was last years batting champ
— Mike Wilner (@Wilnerness590) August 22, 2013

Who says he's clean? @PioneerDairyGuy: @Wilnerness590 So hits on steroids count, but clean hits in Japan don't. Now I get it....
— Mike Wilner (@Wilnerness590) August 22, 2013

I'm not suggesting that. #SweetMother @BadNewsJays: The fact that @Wilnerness590 is actually suggesting Ichiro is on steroids is ridiculous.
— Mike Wilner (@Wilnerness590) August 22, 2013

That no one can know who's clean and who isn't. @JayOnJays: @Wilnerness590 So what exactly are you implying by saying "Who says he's clean?"
— Mike Wilner (@Wilnerness590) August 22, 2013

@JayOnJays Not sure that you realize that I didn't say Ichiro is a fraud.
— Mike Wilner (@Wilnerness590) August 22, 2013

Okay Wilner, you have a point. You implied it.

Then. I completely lost it on this.

Don't forget the ones he hit in Japan! @Buster_ESPN: Alfonso Soriano with career HR No. 398. http://t.co/zUEZEodJrS
— Mike Wilner (@Wilnerness590) August 22, 2013

Honestly, I usually don't mind Wilner. But he's been completely irrational and a downright douche today, and I've changed my opinion.
— Bad News Jays (@BadNewsJays) August 22, 2013

Jackass. RT @Wilnerness590: Don't forget the ones he hit in Japan! @Buster_ESPN: Alfonso Soriano with career HR No. 398.
— Bad News Jays (@BadNewsJays) August 22, 2013

I guess it was calling him a jackass?

Wilner blocked me. That's just plain ridiculous.
— Bad News Jays (@BadNewsJays) August 22, 2013

THIS LOL -------> RT @AThopoulos: I'll bring the celebratory cake “@BadNewsJays: Wilner blocked me. That's just plain ridiculous.”
— Bad News Jays (@BadNewsJays) August 22, 2013

.@FakeWilner1 At least you don't block people, Fake Wilner.
— Bad News Jays (@BadNewsJays) August 22, 2013

@Antoniodelballe @BadNewsJays I was blocked last year for saying Cordero shouldn't be the closer
— Guzman's Jhericurl (@GuzmansJhercurl) August 22, 2013

@BadNewsJays @Antoniodelballe @GuzmansJhercurl I got blocked for calling Wilner a fruit lmao.
