The best way for a hack to win an argument is to lie about the facts.

"Yeah, it must have been Joe Torre's fault that A-Rod couldn't buy a hit in October until last October, and that you couldn't find him in one first-round loss after another."

That is a lie. An untruth. A misrepresentation.

A last refuge of small-sample-size morons who don't understand baseball and who use their baseball column to perpetuate personal grudges.

"A-Rod might still someday be the all-time king of home runs. The king of accountability he has never been.

And will never be."

Yeah, but he's the king of home runs, and that's what matters.


I know that double off Brad Lidge ruined your day, ruined your storyline, but you really ought to pull your head out of Jonathon Papelbon's butt long enough to look up some stats.
