Jamie Moyer, HOFer?

Chocolate chip bagel? How old are you? Ten?

 

Headbutt - not for nothing but your little rant in the Breitbart thread was Charlie Pierce-esque and I'm not meaning that as a compliment. The political bias is why nobody buys into journalistic ethics anymore. Biased people are not to be trusted.

 

Breitbart has an audience for a simple reason - the people who were supposed to be doing the job weren't doing it. That's why the Drudge Report is so widely read and why the National Enquirer is more likely to break a political scandal involving a Democrat than the New York Times. Blaming Brietbart is unseemly from anyone in the industry who blew it so badly with the responsibility that was handed to them.

Oh and the "when I'm with friends I'm more likely to hammer Democrats" rings as hollow as people who claim "but some of my best friends are black/Jewish/gay" etc.

Sorry.

 

I'm not absolving Breitbart at all. I don't know enough about the situation to make a call either way. I do know that the White House took him seriously enough to fire that woman in a heart beat. That's not Breitbart's fault - that's the White House's fault. You want to blame someone - blame the White House.

As far as a PM - I only use PM's for naked pictures of 21 and Lugnuts (and sometimes unsolicited ones from Buck).

BTW - if Jamie Moyer gets in the HoF then Tim Wakefield needs to get in too

 

Thank you Dick. Glad to know there are others who still read newspapers from other cities.
Headbutt, it's amazing how an incredulous and stupid idea reached 12 pages.

 

This is kinda old, but I just read it on The Onion:

PHILADELPHIA—Following a 60-foot, six-inch voyage that began at the distant pitching rubber, a Jamie Moyer-thrown change-up arrived at home plate for a called third strike nearly 147 seconds after it was thrown. "There were a few minutes when I thought it would never get here," said Phillies catcher Chris Coste, who had to rise from his squatting position to stretch twice during the pitch's journey in order to keep the feeling in his legs. "First Ryan [Howard] almost cut it off to catch the runner going to second, then decided against it, then was about to grab it again before I shouted to him that it might count as a balk. Then the batter took a swing, backed up and took another swing before striking out when it hit the outside corner.After that, I had to wait in the catcher's box for what felt like forever when the runner decided to try to score all the way from first.And then you saw how [centerfielder] Shane [Victorino] almost ruined the whole thing when he ran past the pitch because he thought the inning was over. Thank goodness Jamie's change-up had that very, very late movement so that it eventually dipped around Shane and right into the sliding runner's path." Moyer later revealed that the pitch was a fastball.

 

Never seen that before, but it's actually pretty lame.
