They dream of being right 7 out of 10 times.
Hell they blow their load if they're right 1 out of 10 times.

And where's the nanotech update on this. Loose Shit.

Hmm. College newspaper as the source, plus the first part of it -- "make seven out of 10 at bat" -- is nonsensical. I smell a misquote.

Oh, God, Allah, now even you?

Why don't you bastards get off my tits for like ten minutes so I can explore the studio space in peace?

I got a fev-uh. And the only prescription is an accurate Rick Kaplan quote.

Eh, just goes to show you they are a bunch of 'tards. Not the cute, nice loveable kind either.

Baseball players are actually trying to hit the ball.

I'd like to suggest another line of attack on the self-righteous journalists who assure each other and themselves of their superiority by boasting of their superiority to bloggers: "Let's see you do it." Bloggers write in a popular medium and a popular format; if journalists and their publishers are so much more capable than bloggers, then let them take up the art and show us how it's done. If the best bloggers are weekly ripping journalists a new one, while in truth journalists are capable of meeting higher standards, then let them cover themselves in glory by excelling at bloggers' own art and stripping their audiences from them.

I detest spectator sports but even I know that such a batter would be viewed as unto a god.

Good point Naib.
And it would be interesting to see who among them can actually write worth a damn, and who would have to hire college students to do it for them.

If this Rick Kaplan is not a total weinie-boy, then he is the Rick Kaplan that used to sit behind me at Knicks games whining because Patrick Ewing didn't "dunk it every time!"

Wouldn't stop sucking my cock, either.

Ace, since you need your readers to find you stories now, here's one that comes with a great picture.

Sophisticated Europeans, of course.

You don't see this behavior at baseball games, that's for sure. Well, maybe Philly.

Cheers,

If the big media is so superior to blogs and bloggers, then why do they spend so much time and energy studying, dissecting and discrediting bloggers and the bloggosphere?

A .700 batting average? Yeah, that's pretty damned good. Guys that hit like that would likely earn at least a million dollars a year and maybe even get a Riddel endorsement..

Reminds of me Thomas Friedman and his poker analogy in the NYT (link above) ... or Kerry trying to do any number of things -- hunting, baseball, football.

Thanks for the gratuitous and cliched slam against Philly phans, Dave. Jeez, you beat up the Redskins mascot in the parking lot a couple of times, and all of a sudden you're the Imperial Storm Troopers of fandom.:)

You kidding me Craig? The Redskins mascot probably beats himself, just like the $&$@^9 team.

As for Philly, c'mon, it ain't a sporting event in the City of Brotherly Love unless someone busts out the D-cells.

Re Dave's link: Why'n'hell did a soccer team hire Rip Taylor as their coach?

Don't worry, Dave, there's hope. Ramsey has another year under his belt, they'll retool the line, and the defense is impenetrable. Joe will find a way.
