I spent the better part of my weekend trying to create a relatively-inexpensive solution for my lack of a laptop (to pretty much no avail) – never looking at the sports pages or any related stories online. I wish I had kept that up today.
As most folks who visit here know, I pretty much never link to the CHB (or, as Curt Schilling lovingly referred to him, the "Giant Sphincter"). Today, his ‘piece’ in the Globe is the first I reference. I actually ENCOURAGE you all to read it. Especially those of you who have taken me to task in the past about how critical I am of Shaughnessy. All today’s piece does is prove that not only IS Shaughnessy a Giant Sphincter – but he’s an immature baby who doesn’t know how to do his job anymore unless he’s ripping people to shreds.
(I’ll give you the condensed version right here…Curt Schilling is an egomaniac and his fans are all idiots.)
I’m eager to see someone defend that. Many people tell me that there was a time when Shaughnessy was considered a good writer. I’m sorry to say, I’ve never witnessed it.
I did read a nice piece of baseball-related news this morning. Bronson shut out the Phillies for six innings on Saturday. (Which means he won’t be pitching today against the Sox. A game, incidentally, being shown on ESPN at 1:05pm today!)
I have a week to figure out my laptop situation (before the season starts, anyway). I’m hoping to be less cranky by then. 🙂
