Oh FFS, just what we need – more election result drama. Although this time, it’s Kate Upton vs. Major League Baseball, which will likely prove much more entertaining. Kate’s fiancé, Justin Verlander of the Detroit Tigers, did not receive the American League Cy Young Award. Justin had a great season and was pretty excited to be up for it but accepted his loss graciously, tweeting this when the award went to Rick Porcello of the Boston Red Sox by a vote of 137 to 132:
Just want to say thank you to all the @officialBBWAA who voted for me.
— Justin Verlander (@JustinVerlander) November 17, 2016
Gracious, non? Yes. Nice bit of class from someone after defeat. ‘Gracious’ is not exactly what I would call how Kate handled the situation:
Hey @MLB I thought I was the only person allowed to fuck @JustinVerlander ?! What 2 writers didn't have him on their ballot?
— Kate Upton (@KateUpton) November 16, 2016
Well if MLB gets to f—ck Justin then I want to, too.
If you have some concept of how the Baseball Writers Association of America awards the CYA, feel free to skip ahead. I had no idea and looked it up to try and make sense of what Kate was raving about. One pitcher from both the National and the American Leagues are voted on by the BWAA. The votes are weighted by place and the highest points total wins. Justin received more first place placements than any other player on the ballot but two writers, Fred Goodall of the Associated Press and Bill Chastain with MLB.comm left Justin off their ballot which handed the CYA to Rick. Maybe it was short-sighted of them to not have Justin on their ballot but from my ignorant standpoint, it was their right to do so, yes? Kate disagrees:
He had the majority of 1st place votes and 2 writers didn't have him on their ballots?!! can you pick more out of touch people to vote?@MLB
— Kate Upton (@KateUpton) November 16, 2016
Fine, be pissed at MLB. Be pissed at the writers that didn’t put your boyfriend on the ballot but leave poor Rick alone! He didn’t do anything more than get voted for:
Sorry Rick but you didn't get any 1st place votes? you didn't win. #ByeFelicia @MLB keep up with the times and fire those writers
— Kate Upton (@KateUpton) November 16, 2016
I’m being cheeky but seriously, chill out on Rick, Kate – this isn’t his fault.
Unfortunately, no one ripped the phone from her hands, which allowed her to answer a few tweets that disagreed with her opinion. I won’t post all of them because I don’t like some of the derogatory language the tweeters use but here is an example of Kate’s night (trigger warning, if you open the top tweet, it shows a gif of Trump):
@Pete_BBS oh your cute… check the stats boo justin won in first place votes
— Kate Upton (@KateUpton) November 17, 2016
And, of course, it was only a matter of time before she unleashed her conspiracy theories:
@LAPatriot @MLB how many 2nd place votes? huh? he lost to Justin in 1st place votes. If Tampa bay writers weren't paid off…
— Kate Upton (@KateUpton) November 17, 2016
*thrusts clenched fist in the air* Damn you Tampa Bay!
I get it, she’s mad. I get it, she’s protective of her guy. I still refuse to shake artist Mike Mignola’s hand when I see him because he was a proper @sshat to The Mister almost a decade ago. But there is a difference between keeping food and drink in your hand at a cocktail party to avoid salutations and going rabid on Twitter. I mean, I have not come to expect discretion from the woman who thought performing the Cat Daddy Dance for Terry Richardson was a good idea but I think Justin has experienced enough grief right now, maybe dial it back?
Her Twitter tirade seems to have ceased for now. The whole world knows that Kate is mad as hell and she’s not going to take it anymore. She resorted to retweeting others who are upset with the vote, which is a good plan because people like Justin’s brother Ben get their point across a little better:
Are you kidding me? Most first place votes and doesn't win? #SaltyYoungerBrother Explain this.. pic.twitter.com/RpEb4PPrME
— Ben Verlander (@Verly32) November 16, 2016
Oh, if only we could vote people off Twitter like they do on Survivor. Fortunately, some saw the humor in Kate’s Twitter rage, like Met’s pitcher Noah Syndergaard who also lost the CYA:
It's OK Kate…I only got 4 votes…..total. Nobody likes me 😭https://t.co/NVkQvZ7sKu

Total idiot this one. Why is she acting like a tout?
Also, I think she forgot that when his phone was hacked we ALL found out she was certainly NOT the only one he was f-cking. (This is when all those naked- some very graphic- pics of her were released onto the internet.)
I swear, engagement rings give certain girls amnesia.
They were both in the pics together? Also those photos were hacked so using them against her isn’t cool
? I wasn’t using those pics against her.
I was talking about the other naked women he had pics of when his phone was hacked. Maybe people missed that part of the story? Sports blogs were joking that since he got caught he was now trapped and would have to propose within 6 months. At that time I was sure she would dump his ass. I was wrong, they were right when she popped up with the huge rock after a season long secret engagement.
But, we found out what a true idiot she is after her comments about the whole Anthem protests.
I can’t stand her now and would never stay with a guy who was a proven cheater.
What a freakin’ idiot — making her hubby NO friends among sportswriters or anyone else, and probably embarrassing him a good deal. (Also, Verlander’s not much to look at, is he?)
Anyway, the fabulous Rick Porcello won, so suck it up, beeyotch!
Thank you!!! He is nothing at all to look at.
Neither is she. I’d say they’re pretty evenly matched.
And this is why I hate social media. People can no longer distinguish between venting to friends for support and yelling into the online void and sounding ridiculous.
I told all the 3rd parties to burn in hell on my social media. Crickets have been chirping since that day…I guess I regret it because some things can’t be take back and sour grapes lasts a lot longer online.
I mean I get it that completely sucks since he won more first place votes.
But whining and making his job harder is completely stupid
This was absolutely hilarious to watch as it was happening. She did Justin no favors with his peers, making Rick’s win all about herself, and she was ripped again all day yesterday on sports talk radio.
Congratulations, Rick! Well-deserved. Go Sox!
P.S. Kate, learn the difference between “your” and “you’re.”
Yes, but Boston sports news writers are clueless about her so kept referring to her as a Supermodel. I kept raging, ” She’s not a Supermodel!! She’s barely a working model!” Ugh.
Melania Trump is often referred to as a supermodel too, so clearly it’s a term that has lost all meaning.
To them, anyone who appears on the cover of the SI “swim suit” issue with her boobs out is a supermodel. And it isn’t just Boston sports writers who think that way. It is pretty much most men. If a woman appears on the cover of the SI “swim suit” issue, most men think she is a super model. They believe Kathy Ireland was a super model.
The writers who left him off completely did so on purpose, just so their guy would win. It does seem shady.
Tampa Bay sports writers don’t like the Red Sox, so I doubt that they were trying to get Porcello the win. Because of the MLB schedule the Tampa Bay writers simply saw more of Porcello in person than they did Verlander. And leaving Verlander off the ballot entirely wasn’t the deciding factor anyway.
Exactly. And maybe it had something to do with him tanking it towards the end of the season and the team missing the playoffs while she was busy screaming about Colin Kaepernick.
And now she knows how Hillary Clinton feels! : /
I cannot stand this woman. I was neutral on her before she went off on Kaepernick for kneeling during the national anthem. And now this. Maybe she is technically right, but, as these privileged celebrities often point out, there are far more important things going on in the world.
THISSSS.
Last night my husband was watching Phillip DeFranco and he was talking about this. Her tweet was KIND of funny, but also uncalled for. But the first thing I thought of was “OH YOU MEAN JUST LIKE THE ELECTION?” I couldn’t believe that that joke hadn’t been made.
There were a lot of people seemingly more outraged over this, than over the government.
He didn’t make it on the ballot at all for a couple of people. That’s up to them. Maybe he was a cocky git to them. Maybe they genuinely thought other people deserved it more, and maybe the bests he did secure were based on popularity. Who knows. Either way, being a sore loser is never a good look.
lmao, seriously. Hey lil’ Republican sister welcome to the Democrats’ hell. We’ve had two elections in less than 20 years where our candidate got more votes and still lost.
This.
Hey Kate Upton, here is finger for you from the Pacific NW!
Oh, you can’t see it from there??
I’ll hold it up higher.
Still can’t see it?! Ugh!
How about now???
Nope- okay then I’ll sum it up.
“F- you Kate Upton”
Kate & Justin are white trash. Rick P & Justin used to be teammates, Sore loser didn’t congratulate him.
She just joined the ranks of Gisele Bundchen (sp?) and Ayesha Curry of women who have embarrassed their husbands with their temper tantrums.
She wouldn’t go to his office and rant if her husband were an accountant. They need to know when and when not to stfu
Agreed. And so emasculating. He’s got to be getting major sh*t from his mates. Cringeworthy.
I give this relationship 3 months.
Embarrassing? Sure? But emasculating? Why?
It’s only emasculating because he hangs with sexist dudes. The statement that this is emasculating is sexist in itself. Kate Upton is not helping our cause and should zip it but we should know better.
Feminism aside, there are simple basic truths about the male (and female) psyches.
So it would be OK then if HE went on a twitter rant if she had been slighted for an award and said he thought he was the only one who could f*CK her? Like she was some kind of possession?
Think about it.
MI6: there are no “basic facts” about “psyches” along gendered lines. That is complete and utter bullshit as most science tells us. The ideas you reference are social constructs, which are not “basic facts.” Furthermore, it has exactly nothing to do with feminism, but thanks for showing your hand with that comment.
I’ll hold up my husband and several of my male friends as examples: they don’t get “emasculated” because they don’t have problems with women.
Funny how that works, right?
Anon 33, we’ll just have to agree to disagree. If your husband wouldn’t have a problem being spoken for and about in this way, well, that’s between you and him.
And I don’t know what you mean by “showing my hand,” but I am a woman who believes men should be treated with the same respect and kindness we demand and deserve.
That’s how it works for me.
Omg there is NO ONE I hate more than Ayesha Curry. Like omigod I’m so holier than thouuuuu because I was a virgin till marriage unlike you salty thots and STOP LOOKING AT MY HUSBAND. Hate her.
AAAAAAAH I thought it was just me that cant stand Ayesha. She’s so smug and pretentious. I was so glad when the nba fans dragged her to hell for saying that the nba was rigged
Ever since I accidentally saw a pic of Justin’s bare bottom on the internet I cringe every time I see him. Ugh.
Ewwwww! Have your eyes healed?
No, I truly can’t unsee it and am triggered whenever I read his name.
Very tacky. You can be disappointed for your boyfriend but let him lose with some class and dignity.
Off topic completely….these two came into my restaurant a couple years ago, and they spent the whole meal staring at their phones. Barely interacted with each other. It was very strange
Unfortunately, this is how most people dine out nowadays.
Ellebee, co-sign. And don’t forget Chestica Simpson’s embarrassing behavior at Tony Romo’s games.
Chestica – 🙂 😉 🙂 🙂
LOL oh yes
I don’t understand any of this baseball malarkey, but I am super bummed to learn Mike Mignola is was a jerk to your boo. My husband’s utterly obsessed with his work.
She sounds unhinged but holy moly she looks amazing in that black dress.
What is wrong with her?! She made everything so much worse.
It was an AWARD, not something he was owed! So tacky.
Ugh, I would be so embarrassed if my husband behaved like this in the name of having my back.
Girl, staaaaaahp.
Didn’t she learn anything from Gisele being a twat against her husband’s teammates? Idiot.
Side note, that black dress in the top of photo is to die for. I love dresses/gowns with sleeves!!!
Wow. Way to keep it classy Kate.
you’re=you are
your=shows ownership
Had to say something. Pet peeve.
