Klapich with a take on today's PC-media relations vs. the looser days in the late 80s/early 90s.

Why is Klapish still promoting his 1993 career?

What a clown.

So he can take advantage of the Great Testosterone-Challenged Sportswriters Debate that's emerged in the wake of the Mariotti/Guillen slapfight.

Milledge on being sent down per Daily news:

"I wanted to play," Milledge said while sitting next to GM Omar Minaya in the visitors dugout. "But if this is what I've got to do to get better, to win championships, to do all I can do, then I've got to take it."

YEA!!!! All I wanted to hear...my Milledge stock just rose a little bit.

He's learning his cliches! Yea for Lastings!

Seriously, it'll be good for him to get some more seasoning at the AAA level. He'll be a force to be reckoned with next year.

I work in the communications office of a national association. We have to put the breaks on what our president says. A lot. His initial response often seems to be as if we're invalidating his opinion. Then we say, that, no, his opinion is fine, it's just that it reflects on 1,200 schools, and each will have to answer for it.

It's a team game. Being in frank is fine, but you spend your first few years staying on message, because you have to initially learn how your frankness reflects on the other 24 guys that are carrying water, and how your otherwise legitimate --- and colorful --- personal expression can influence the outcome of a contest or two.

Blogs (or anything internet related) are very dangerous for famous, or "important" people to have. So you really do have to be measured in everything you do. If that means being banal and kid-friendly, then thats what it means, otherwise the wrong thing gets posted and Wright would be on the carpet and be told to shut down the blog

In fact, how much do you want to bet that if someone posted a comment about the deadspin.com pictures, positive or negative, that it would be zapped immeadiatly

Apparently Pedro Feliciano needs to become better acquainted with his cliches

if Sanchez or Heilman made comments like that i'd applaud them for their honesty in calling out Willie on bad managing, but Feliciano? hry guess what buddy? you're the least important man on this roster! bullshit spots like that are what you are here for!

He's hardly the least important.

Check his numbers. They're quite good, even after last night's meltdown.
