Rob Neyer at SBNation has a piece up about the worst baseball writing of the year. My favorite is the Detroit writer covering the World Series ripping on San Francisco fans for being effete wine-drinkers, more or less. Somehow I missed that one.

Yeah, the Detroit one is precious.

"Garlic fries, crab sandwiches on grilled sourdough bread, clam chowder, fried calamari, sweet potato fries with cinnamon and chipotle sprinkle, and clove garlic chicken sandwiches." Those all sound loving delicious. Got news for mr. rear end in a top hat writer, it's all about making a buck. They know that they can convince someone to spend money there instead of some local restaurant downtown before or after the game, they've done their job. It's hardly new, nor is it an attack on tradition. If anything, that's kind of encouraged me to attend a Giants game in the future. http://mlb.mlb.com/det/ballpark/concessions.jsp By the way, his beloved Tigers? Serve Asian, Mexican and a whole array of other things that at their ballpark.

All that needs to be said about Comerica Park's concessions is that you can't get a non-fancy burger in the place, but the sausages with onions and peppers are excellent.

This all just sounds like a little harmless saber rattling to me, and I think any dog whistle homophobia that may be present is subtle enough to be harmless. He's just saying that San Francisco is hoity toity, Detroit is for manly men. It's the oldest fan banter there is.

"Harmless" poo poo like that is still awful and detrimental no matter how timeless it may be. I don't want people to feel bad for eating food that is good. I also don't want people to feel bad for not being a manly man and playing through a concussion and other poo poo like that. I agree with you that the writer probably wasn't trying to write some kind of awful screed, but buying into the stupid manly man rub-some-dirt-on-it thing is what ends careers and ruins post-career lives.

The article is still lazy and stupid even as a "fan banter" article. Oh man there are fags in San Francisco? WHO KNEW? If I wanted to hear retards spout off fan banter I'd go down to Jerry Remy's, not open my local newspaper.

I'm sure Barkley has espoused stuff like that in the past, but I was specifically referring to this: quote:One stain on Jordan's otherwise clean image was the allegation that he had a compulsive gambling problem. The NBA cleared him in 1993, after conducting two investigations. But today, Jordan admits he's made some reckless choices at the gambling table with his money.

R.D. Mangles posted:That was an unexpected headline. I imagine he went on his whole lurid rant in one-sentence paragraphs. Her name is Helen Hunt, and she's an award-winning actress. Golden Globe. Emmy. Oscar. She may soon add another Academy Award to her trophy case. And she might have her squish mitten to thank for it. In the old days, the great actresses avoided tawdry roles, nudity was a no-no. But Hunt knows that in today's world, the "it" in As Good as it Gets might refer to her fur burger. In a different time, it was scandalous to hear Mae West say, "Why don't you come up and see me some time." Now, showing off your beef curtains is as likely to be called "brave" as "whorish". You are as likely to see an actresses' crotch carpet as see her walk down the red carpet. Her performance in The Sessions was great. Her effort was David Ecksteinian. I'm mad about you Helen. I just wish you didn't co-star with your clam.
