Mariotti rips the Fish for trading Lee, but somehow manages to completely miss the most damning thing about the trade. One year after trading Derrek for the first baseman of the future they had to spend more than twice what Derrek is getting from the Cubs for a guy who's older and can't catch the ball.
But really, all Jay's column was about today was an excuse to recount how Derrek's dad showed (allegedly) his mandingo to some stewardesses in a hotel hallway.
But who hasn't done that?
What is it with Mariotti's obsession about men being naked? More than once he has brought up Dempster having streaked down Lincoln Avenue in the offseason. Not only does nobody give a flying fuck, but it has nothing to do with his pitching and, last I checked, Mariotti's paid to cover sports. And now he pens 1,000 words so that he can wax nostalgic about Lee the Elder flashing his wang.
If Jay's gay, there's nothing wrong with that, but it sure would explain a lot. Self-loathing homosexual makes a career in irrationally lashing out at pro athletes. Things that make you go "Hmm" indeed.
