Something We Don't Need

Adam LaRoche is the hottest hitter on the planet since game 82, we all know he struggles in the first half…step up and support the guy!!

I thought the article was a cheap and stupid attack on the players and the team. The Pirates do not have enough in the minors to trade for the help the team would need to get to the McClatchy Line. What did Collier expect the Pirates to do? Trade for Manny? Bargain with the Devil to fix the rotation?

Dumb. Just dumb.

It’s clear some learned nothing over the last decade.

Gene relishes the role of being a contrarian a little too much.

In what sentence does Collier even imply that anyone should? I really don’t know how you’re getting from A to B there.

What it was though, was a cheap shot. Wholly unnecessary to the article and unrelated to Collier’s (idiotic) point. He took the mere mention of Andy to work in a crack at Adam. That’s a cheap shot. It’s as if he said, “Maybe Andy will turn into a star, or maybe he’ll turn into a pumpkin, like his brother.

When Iran boasts of greater nuclear capability than previously suspected, no one says, “Well, that’s just Ahmadinejad being Ahmadinejad.”

Otherwise I wasn’t too excited about that column. And while I generally like Smiz more than Cook, I do not mind Cook.

that douchalism is genetic. i mean, it hasn’t been ruled out that the theory of the heredity of suckitude is at play here. i knew a whole family of boys who wet their beds until they 10 or 11.

it wouldn’t have been so bad going for sleep-overs, but they slept in the nude. i wish i had taken some plastic wrap or a couple of umbrellas.

leading off the 3rd, HBP in his 2nd AB.

should be a retaction of all the garbage he spewed in that article. He’s a sarcastic prick to begin with and that article certainly proved it.

I’ve noticed that the sport’s columnists have become much worse the last few years, I believe because competition from the net has forced papers to cut costs. One of the ways they have done so is by firing people who could actully think and write. Even though I still get the SF paper to read on my way to work, I rarely even read these columns anymore they are so bad. I’m not sure if the same thing is going on in Pittsburgh or not.

Same story with the political columnist – the “conservatives” do nothing but parrot Republican talking points and the lefties are almost as bad, while a few years ago they had some interesting articles on both sides.
