There is a profound sense of anxiety permeating through the corridors of the EMS corporate office. If Bob Costas can be called upon the carpet for commenting on a sport he has never played or knows jack about, where does that leave us here in Strawman Towers? We exist only to offer unenlightened opinions about stuff we know little about. I have a full time staff devoted to nothing but inappropriate journalism. We have never owned a baseball team. Should we be therefore shamed into only offering glowing testimonials to Magowan? Have we been grievously untoward to question the wisdom in ballplayers hanging out with strippers?
We certainly understand the immense power we have as inappropriate journalists from the countless emails we get telling us about how many times we have turned someone from the dark side to the nirvana of our unique and clearly superior world view. We take few stands here. We are basically just in this thing for the chicks and the insane salary. Still, we simply must be able to freely criticize, unfairly, free of the criticism from those little people who have never spent years in blog training. Bad mouthing the Giants is a right, man
What with all the nastiness surrounding various professional sports figures these day it will be refreshing to see the out pouring of love from the SF fans for Armando Benitez this weekend.
I will be off to the wilds of southern Oregon for Mrs. Swing's family reunion. The EMS universe will be on hold for a few days.
