That article wasn't too bad but who is Dr. zoidberg and why does he always include crap like that in everything he writes?

sorry smitty, this is just a generational one. it's not all that obscure
thought this was one of the best things I've read of his. dunno if it was editing or restraint, but it's good.

Fair. I guess I'm comparing it against the rest. I could actually read it. Part of it made me laugh. I understood everything. Lots of positives.

The analogies were certainly toned down. I wonder if Grantland's editors exised it or if Baumann toned it down deliberately for a different audience. That said, it still read like a Baumann piece. The Dr. Zoidberg reference, the silly paragraph about making Mike Zunino crotch-punch himself.

I can dig it. Just seems kinda weird to me.

An over-reliance on personal observation is the easiest way to be wrong about everything, all the time.

Over reliance on anything is a good way to go wrong with everything. What a maroon.
Pretty sure no one would know that Willie Mays was pretty good without the Internet and computer numbers. Good,thing they had that,back then.

I’m three weeks into my first experience as a national baseball columnist of sorts, and I have to admit that I underrated the trolling possibilities that come with such a position.
With my second post, I went after the San Francisco Giants for being an organization of nincompoops that lucked into two World Series titles in three years, and I went after their fans for being almost as obnoxious on the internet as Phillies fans.
