They should probably just hire Costanza...

The story about now-ousted Mets player personnel guy Tony Berzanard keeps getting better. Omar Minaya is apparently implying that NY Daily News beat guy Adam Rubin wrote the initial stories about Berzanard's Hulk-smash clubhouse outburst in Binghampton so he could get Berzanard's job.

So... how does he cover the team now? Has anyone here ever had anything even remotely as strange happen to them on a beat?

 

Such a strange, strange situation. Interesting to see what happens to Rubin. Also, Rubin said he had never asked Minaya "directly" for a job, so does that mean he did so indirectly?

 

Steve Garvey is calling you to baseball thread, part 6

 

My bad... somehow I did not put Steve Garvey, illegitimate children and the Mets continuing circus together as one cohesive thought

 

Obviously, you need to hang around here a little more often to understand everything

 

Deadspin re-posted the transcription of the press conference from another Mets blog. Certainly stands out in the regular schedule of monotonous baseball beat coverage, huh?

Should this be moved to the journalism topics board? No explicit denial, but even if he wanted a job in baseball, getting rid of Berzanard would not put him in a VP post.

 

Peeve of mine:

No, he implied it. He did not infer it. Totally different meaning.
