(Get) A Sporting Life

I really think any sportwriter who voted for Lincecum #1 AND who doesn't live in the Bay area should have their right to vote for the Cy Young taken away from them as they have the baseball IQ of a gerbil. I also think anyone who would defend this vote knows nothing, and I mean nothing about baseball . On Thursday, Lincecum became the only pitcher to capture the Cy Young Award in each of his first two full Major League seasons. The San Francisco Giants right-hander was named the National League's repeat winner Thursday in balloting conducted by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. "It's a tremendous honor for me," said Lincecum, 25. Fuck you Lincecum, you didn't earn it your little girly doped up asswipe. The fact Wainwright got 12 (the most) first place votes, but only 5 second place votes, and 15(!)third place votes means that way too many writers are stupid ass motherfuckers, who are more interested in sucking the cocks of folks living on the ...

Without a doubt the worst thing about the sports coverage of St. Louis' major daily newspaper is the incessant moralizing of Bryan Burwell, who seems to consider himself some sort of Pope capable of dealing out final judgements at the drop of a hat. There is a "good" example of this in his column about Mark Mulder : So for all the stupid and irrelevant angst the chat room grumblers and call-in nitpickers claim they are experiencing, none of it measures up to what Mulder has suffered. "I just keep getting let down. I don't know really what to do," Mulder told the Post-Dispatch's Joe Strauss after Wednesday's crash and burn. I can't tell you how annoying it gets to read the narrow-minded stupidity of "fans" who claim some sort of victimization from Mulder's medical misfortune. Oh, give me a break. Do some fans get a little too emotionally involved? Sure. Do they take some ill-considered positions about players or managers? Undoubtedly...

I'm already tired of the moralizing asses I'm reading in the papers or seeing on ESPN telling me what a bad person Rick Ankiel is for using HGH to recover from arm surgery. "Wait a second?? Arm surgery?? I thought HGH was helping Ankiel hit home runs? That is what every sports writer has said." Well, every sports writer is wrong. HGH won't help you develop power hitting ability, although it might help with the healing process after surgery. "But Ankiel was a pitcher! He couldn't hit the ball far before! He must have done something shady!" You mean like when he was in high school and hitting 450 foot home runs, and smacking balls into the upper decks of professional stadiums? The truth is Ankiel always had the power he is displaying nowadays, it wasn't cultivated since the HGH use. Also, the HGH use only occurred while Ankiel was trying to be a pitcher. There is no evidence that he ever used anything unusual since he gave up pitching. What I cann...
