Being a Red Sox fan admittedly means being absorbed with our own issues, which these days tend to revolve around whether John Lackey is a complete bust, a basket case or a guy who has been pitching with a bad elbow, or whether Carl Crawford's contract contains a clause allowing him to take the first year off while reading the complete works of Ralph Waldo Emerson. what in the gently caress?

If a baseball player said they were taking the year off to read poetry, they would immediately become my favorite baseball player for all time.

Orgophlax posted:Something about this article from Tim Panaccio on csnphilly.com really irks me. I think only one line will sum it up. I just always assume that whenever there is a "league official" or "someone close to the team" or a "player who wishes to remain anonymous" or anything like that, the reporter just made it up, a la The Wire.

It's a book of poems by a baseball player (Dan Quisenberry if you don't want to click the link). I've heard that it's good, but I'm not much of a poetry connoisseur so I have no idea.

we haven't checked in on our buddy Stiegz in a little while. Maybe he's learned from his recent experiences and will have some sagacious words for those similarly situated!quote:LET HIM UP

Well, remember--no one would have been offended by his garbage about the Giants fan who got severely beaten if it wasn't linked all over the Internet. We should have been more considerate of that guy's family and not discussed a writer saying he deserved it because he wore a rival team's jersey.

It's kind of logically upside-down and glazes over the notion that Mendenhall is a public figure. Not really the point though, Stiegerwald owns if only because he clearly just doesn't give a gently caress and doesn't have any sort of internal logical compass. It has not stopped him or even given him any pause edit: whoops, accidentally posted prematurely via Awful App, let me fix this post up real nice swizz fucked around with this message at 19:19 on May 23, 2011 |

DONT READ THIS POST posted:Why don't you go write a technical manual about it, nerd It's too late, it's already been done; anyone who is interested in poetry, DO READ THIS BOOK. (Not that I endorse all of WCW's opinions, but I think he offers a perspective that still manages to be revolutionary, as far as mainstream attitudes toward poetry go.) Seriouspost, though: poetry owns, write poetry every day even if it's gotta rhyme, whatever, always write poetry. (All rhyme but slant rhyme is impure and will burn.)

Then last season after having thumb surgery, his batting average was four points lower in his last 43 games than his first 72 games.

I can't read Peter King columns anymore thanks to his "look what I can do working for NBC" angle in every one of his nuggets, but his latest work might be the worst in kowtowing to Dick Ebersol. Fortunatly Big Daddy Drew destroyed it like always. http://kissingsuzykolber.uproxx.com/2011/05/peter-king-and-dick-ebersol-are-breakfast-barons.html

Actually on further consideration I'm fairly convinced that Mandy Housenick does not actually exist and is just one of you trolling me@inthephilshouse posted:@DashTreyhorn They do. I spent over an hour figuring out the math. The numbers don't lie. Sorry, but it's true.Read the story. You'll see @inthephilshouse posted:@DashTreyhorn I'm not saying that. It was just a stat to support my belief, and Ruben's, that he won't be the savior (Ruben's words). @inthephilshouse posted:@DashTreyhorn It wouldn't matter to you, or most people, what the numbers say. You all think Utley is the end-all, be-all. You're entitled! @inthephilshouse posted:@DashTreyhorn I just gave the numbers. Usually, you guys love numbers. But when they don't support your beliefs, then you don't like them

Oh it's Housenick. She's the one who wrote the stupid article about how Jayson Werth is too surly and should immediately be traded last year. Something like that. I'm pretty sure she's just an amalgam of all the faux-trolling twitter accounts made real.

For example, I can't mention the time he took batting practice by ripping the heads off kittens and hitting them into the upper deck. I especially can't make light of the numerous occasions on which I witnessed Jayson Werth savagely sodomizing poor Kyle Kendrick with a fungo bat, and under no circumstances could I mention the time I tried to ask Jayson about his lack of clutchness and bad attitude for another lovely smear piece only to be rebuffed and told I was a third-rate journo who was lucky to have a job at some Lehigh County fish wrapper.
