Fire Joe Morgan on Albert Pujols
For those who haven't checked out Fire Joe Morgan, it's generally an amusing rebuke of numskull baseball writers - particularly those who fly in the face of data and logic. I thought others might enjoy the description of Sir Albert from this post.
"Albert Pujols is either the best hitter in baseball or he's damn close. He has 266 career HR and he's played in a total of like 65 baseball games. He has a .418 career OBP. And a walk, mind you, ties the game. He is 12 feet tall, and each of his lats weighs 80 pounds. His bat is 60 inches long and is made of Bigfoot's spine. He is a monstrous monster who eats sliders. Not balls that were used to throw sliders, mind you -- he has figured out a way to eat the concept of sliders. The dude hits with a closed stance only because Marty Barrett bet him he couldn't hit with a closed stance like Barrett did and still win the MVP and Pujols did it just to stave off the boredom that had come from solving baseball. He once hit a home run on a hit-by-pitch. He has more hits left-handed than anyone in baseball history has right-handed -- and he is right handed. He completed an MD-PhD at Hopkins in one hour and gave a graduation address (in Greek), and he had to miss a game against the Pirates in 2003, and he still went 2-4 with a double. The home run he hit off Lidge in the NLCS....just now landed, in Banff. He is awesome."

I enjoyed the Brian Burwell
Burwell talked about how he came here 5 years ago and everyone had their head buried in the sand and blah blah blah. Thank goodness he rode in on his self-righteous steed of poor sports writing or we'd all still be ignorant about steroids in STL.

burwell is absolutely horrible
i'm not sure why the p-d still keeps half their columnists on the payroll, to be honest with you. bill mcclellan is another guy who's be shameless about mailing it in for quite some time now.
