Rob Neyer is a COMPLETE TOOL


http://espn.go.com/blog/sweetspot/post/_/id/6078/giants-ron-washington-moot-the-breaks


What a lede:
I started writing about Game 2 in the seventh inning. It looked like the Giants probably would win, but not by much. Maybe by one run, maybe two. I was sticking with my recent obsession with the ways to win: playing better, managing better, getting luckier. And it was going well. The piece was going to anger a bunch of Giants fans, but I'm getting used to that. It might have been one of the best things I ever wrote. (Hey, you'll never be able to prove it wasn't.)


Read the rest of it, unless you are disturbed by the sight of idiotic conclusions and sports journalism chicanery. He is completely unable to give the Giants ANY credit for scoring 20 runs in 2 games. What a flaming doucher.

I nominate Rob Neyer for the Liftetime Achievement Award for the Giants Hall of Shame

Awesome. At no point in the article are the words "Matt Cain" written.

I think you guys just hate every member of the media. Can't really blame you for that though I guess, since a lot of them do suck

Well, alright if we're going to create a list, we have to add the aptly named Danny "Knobler" to the list for this gem he wrote about Game 1.

dumbass article

Giants didn't swing the bats well while putting up 11 in Game.

They sure as hell didn't last night while putting up 9 more emoticon

Re: Rob Neyer is a COMPLETE TOOL


But you see, giving the Giants any credit would mean the reversal of a Custer decision.*

And we can't have that.

These guys are heavily invested in the credibility of their bloviations, so events must be made to conform to them, however tortured the logic required to do so. When the next game contradicts what they've been saying, they double down instead of conceding error. And then in the end, they'll simply say "no one could have foreseen...."

You mean YOU couldn't have foreseen.

Isn't this Phillies-Yankees series exciting as we go to the Big Apple tied at a game apiece?




*During the PHI series, my wife kept saying that Werth looked like Custer from Little Big Man.
