sportswriters who aren't bloggers who cover their home teams are jackasses.

Just read some quotes from national writers about the Minnesota Twins:

"Consider them the best fourth-place team in baseball, if that's any consolation to Minnesota partisans."
--Fox Sports

Seriously. Behind the TIGERS?! THE TIGERS?!? Oh wait, Magglio Ordonez is magically going to not be injured, and Jeremy Bonderman is going to magically stop being erratic. Please.

"’m assuming Kyle Lohse and Carlos Silva are using compromising photos of someone in the Twins organization as leverage to keep their spots in the rotation."
--bullz-eye.com

"Juan Rincon RP Quality stuff but erratic command. A future closer."
--ESPN.com

Erratic command? Future closer? laskjflasdkfjawrlw.

Yes, because Carlos Silva's sub-4.00 ERA and excellent command of the strike zone just plain suck. Jackasses.

I'd keep going but it's obvious that writers who are paid to write on big sites don't actually watch any games.

Opening day -- two days away. My baseball obsession has reached new heights.
