Cecil Cooper just got sneak attacked by the pink slip of destiny.

It may just be me, but, "Shatoon; Bringer of Corn," makes me laugh every time I see it.

It reminds me of former NIU receievr Shatone Powers.

Yeah, but everything reminds you of him.

Everything reminds Huey of everything. Poor aspergered goof.

We all dislike LaRussa, but that article is terrible.

Possibly (I didn't read it), but at least this picture is outstanding.



It looks like he's consulting with the baseball like it's his own personal Gazoo.

I'm guessing that Eli is offended by the swipes taken at Moneyballology and, while I agree that it's not the best article, Charley Pierce is generally a pretty good writer, IMO.
I think he's more of the appendix of Desipio.  Yeah, it's here and you're vaguely aware of it, but only if reminded.  The only time anyone notices it is when it ruptures (on Weebs in the video game thread).  Beyond that, though, it's basically useless and offers no redeeming value.

I was more annoyed at the actual lack of evidence in the article.  I was hoping for some STATS to back up his argument.

It's Esquire. Half of what's printed in that magazine is fiction. The other half is self-indulgent, Tanner-esque horse crap.

They fired Joshua because he yelled at Milton Bradley when Bradley wouldn't pinch hit.

They're keeping Milton.

We should all be buzzing WITH FEAR about Sandberg's inevitable promotion to the big-league team.
