Jemele Hill of ESPN has a column titled, "Pettite's Apology Was A Joke."

Sample quote -

]Some people are racing to pat Pettitte on the back for being one of three players thus far to fall on their swords after being fingered in the Mitchell report. But Pettitte's apology for taking HGH is totally meaningless, and the excuses he offers for his misdeed rank right up there with, "I was just smoking weed for my glaucoma."

i've read her before and come away with the opinion that she is racist. If Pettite was white she'd be defending him just as she has defende Bonds and Vick in the past.

just what color is andy pettitte?

also, i hate when people get paid for typing things like "riiiiighhhttt"
use italics or something instead, fer chrissakes. there's better ways to put sarcastic emphasis in text that just by doing the drawn out spelling shit. and even if that's really what you want to do, what's with the extra h's and t's, with regulation r's and g's? the drawing out is done all on the i. nobody's getting their money's worth by overpronouncing the t.

having not read her words on bonds and/or vick, i can only say that i agree with her on handy andy's "apology"

[nymr83]

i meant to say if pettite were black.

she defends bonds and vick.

="metirish"] ="Edgy DC"]Jaw-dropping: http://blog.silive.com/yankeeswatch/2007/12/pettitte_once_again_shows_noth.html WOW, needs to be read to appreciate how bad this is.

The attitude of this blogger has also been a staple of talk radio since the release of the Mitchell report:
There's no proof! .... you can't believe a corrunpt trainer ... Mitchell is picking on the Yanquis because he's a Boston fan ... why aren't Papi & Manny on the list ... etc.
Waah fucking Waah!!

It's enough to make you wonder whether MFY fans are becoming more insufferable as non-winners than they were during their run.
On a similar note, minor league prospect guru John Sickels is taking a leave of absence from his own website and its ongoing analysis of team-by-team prospects due to sniping from fans (his lists invite comments and discussion) which followed the posting of his NYY list. It seems that Yanqui fans, in the absence of championships, are reduced to hanging their hats on the belief that their up-and-comers are superior to those of all other teams (particularly the Sawx not surprisingly) or else use the same sort of anti-Yanqui bias claims if/when others don't see it that way.

Well, in a perfect world...

They're simply insufferable. Why on earth would you spend time picking on someone like Sickels?

="Valadius"]Why on earth would you spend time picking on someone like Sickels?

Because he graded your player as a B- instead of a B+
Such sins can not be tolerated.




And to be fair, I have little tolerance for Met fans who spend as much time and energy hunting
for anti-NYM bias as Joe McCarthy did with communists.
It's just that that attitude from NYY fans seems to be flowering as if from a rare desert
rain on account of their title-less run here - especially since we now have fans old enough to
enter these discussions who don't remember when they weren't a playoff team.

I've yet to hear a talk-radio caller to introduce himself as "a long suffering Yanqui fan",
but I honestly think that day is coming quickly.

[nymr83]

if a caller EVER introduces himself as a suffering yankee fan he should be hung up on immediately.
