Who is Ramona Shelburne, anyway?

Three weeks ago, Ramona wrote this. I was so busy with all the other media frenzy, I missed it.

Great article. Loved the info regarding Carole Moreno. This makes my heart flutter all over again.

She's the reporter who was booed for her question at the press conference

What was her question?

i have a trumboner.

Something along the lines of...

how long term contracts have a tendency to backfire and was there any concern they would end up regretting the deal….

It was an insanely stupid question given the occasion/mood of the press conference.

"One time, when we got back to the locker room, all of our clothes were gone," Trout recalled. "They left me a Lady Gaga costume and I had to wear it."

Nonsense

Her question was tantamount to asking a newly-married couple at their wedding reception if they were concerned about the high rate of divorce..

EVERYBODY knows that Pujols will be a lesser player at 41 than at 31. Why not use that opportunity to ask a genuinely thoughtful question?

I get that. Not the right place or time...

But – still the truth.

There is certainly a whole lot more history on your side of the truth, Jim.

But there is some history suggesting that Pujols will continue to be productive throughout the length of the contract.

I remember her question....and I remember the boos I heard, and the angst I felt.

The article says that it was updated at 11:08 P.M., EST, on Dec. 10. Maybe she had time to ruminate on the tone of her article after “feeling” the boos, researching the true meaning of the events, and re-evaluating her position as sports writer for ESPNLA.

I was there.

And I booed. Her question at the time was in complete Debbie Downer mode. Right up there with all the reporters that couldn’t leave the St Louis questions alone.

If the Halos don't care about the way they play, then why should I?

by red floyd on Jan 1, 2012 7:14 PM PST up reply actions  

I wish I had this sound effect during the press conference red.

And congrats on being nominated for best poster, sadly, I didn’t make the cut. To borrow a line from our doyer brethren up the I-5, there’s always next year.

The lady's question was obviously a deliberate attempt to embarrass the Angels,

probably calculating that it would be perceived as edgy, first-rate “journalism” by her employers at ESPN (ABC/Disney) and fellow beat writers.

The tone of the final article, in no way matches the tone and intent of her question at the press conference.
