here’s the quote:

“it’s one thing if somebody just sets up a blog from their mother’s basement in Albuquerque and they are who they are, and they’re a pathetic get-a-life loser, but now that pathetic get-a-life loser can piggyback onto someone who actually has some level of professional accountability and they can be comment No. 17 on Dan Le Batard’s column or Bernie Miklasz’ column in St. Louis. That, in most cases, grants a forum to somebody who has no particular insight or responsibility. Most of it is a combination of ignorance or invective.’‘

“It’s just a high-tech place for idiots to do what they used to do on bar stools or in school yards, if they were school yard bullies, or on men’s room walls in gas stations. That doesn’t mean that anyone with half a brain should respect it.’‘

And in Fremont, the floor and the cap would be the same thing.

That makes too much sense. I probably should have been able to figure that one out. Thanks.

On another note, I can see where Casey’s gets his opinion of Costas as arrogant and elitist. It seems that in his book, he tries to paint himself as the VOICE of the fans, that the changes he would make are undeniably good for baseball and good for the fans. Thanks for telling me what’s good for me, Bob! (I haven’t read the book, so if I’m way off base here please say so; however, consider the very title of the book…).

Just perusing a list of the ideas he posits makes me cringe. I mean I like the DH, I HAVE to like the wild card, and salary caps and revenue sharing go against the very nature of competition.

Bob Costas certainly doesn’t speak for me as a fan.

if Costas has me beat by any more than that, I apologize sincerely for my parents not procreating before his.

And I also apologize for not having the public platform from which to say it…I assure you I’d use it if I had it.

might be a good opportunity for a moratorium on F-bomb usage limits.
