If I want news, I go online to cnn/nytimes/slate. For sports, its here/posnanski/espn.

“Fink – Oct 4, 2012 at 6:21 PM
and for Volquez…

http://www.baseball-reference.com/awards/awards_2008.shtml#NLroy

bam! get yo facts straight before tick tackin away at those keys, falcon”–Fink

Umm, Fink…Volquez *wasn’t* a rookie that year. A lot of ink was spilled on that subject. Including this article from MLB:

“Volquez’s presence on that list is definitely unique: No longer a rookie, the pitcher was mistakenly placed on the ballot and received three votes for second, thus there was an obligation to include him in the final results.”
http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20081110&content_id=3672838&vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb

And saying Santiago had the greatest rookie season ever is deeply stupid.

So, Fink, get your fact straight before idiotically coming in here and saying that mine aren’t. I can only hope you read this to realize what a fucking idiot you are. There is no greater pleasure than a enormous jackoff being dead fucking wrong while feebly attempting to correct others.

I live in Charlotte. The thought that any media member here would have a clue about anything going on in sports outside of the Carolina Panthers is laughable.

Any time there is a large group of people entrusted by the public, opportunities for corruption abound…and some portion of that group will avail themselves of said opportunities.

As if one person making an accusation, which later turns out to be true, is enough to drag any other player’s name through the mud.

This apology should have come out that day. As I said on that original thread, he cites a twitter personality (incarceratedbob) who acts like he has inside sources across all sports. The reporter in question should never have run with that tweet(s).

No excuse as this appears to be created from thin air.

Shoot first, ask later… this is the age of smartphones.

He’s the douche that fueled the rumor further, by saying that he had heard that rumor “about three weeks ago.” In the race to say “I told you so, first,” Gammons lost my respect.

It could very well be a legit apology but . . after the whole Melky thing? Yeah…this sorta smells….

Of course, we all know how that ended up.
