    Really? Tom Hardicourt. What's the back story?? I subscribe to the Journal/Sentinel & always read his articles. He actually said in an article that Looper wasn't doing that bad because he had 13 wins and a good winning %. Was he involved of some kinda controversy that I didn't hear about?

    His weird MVP ballot from last year. Albert Pujols' team wasn't in the playoffs so he couldn't be the MVP. And Carlos Delgado was more valuable because the Mets...also didn't make the playoffs?

    It was just a weird, homerrific ballot.

    you're also hypocriting yourself. You were the one telling me not to get so worked up about Mcgehee. so who cares if he had Delgado ahead of Pujios. Pujois still won.

    Re: Where is Derek Jeter's Recognition?

    Anyway thanks for showing that HGM. I never read the blogs online or anything. I prefer my paper in paper form. Hardicourt is kinda nuts LOL. but I don't mind him being a homer I like that about him. I have to find that interview Brewers owner Antanasio did after the season where he said the Brewers pitching wasn't that bad because they had 2 12 game winners for the 1st time since '92 . I spit out my coffee when I heard that.

    I'm not worked up over it. I laugh at silly nonsense.

    Unfortunately, "electronic media" is the thing of the future. In Boston, there is already writers changing jobs from the newspapers to the electronic media. Comcast News is becoming huge in the New England area.

    On the Hardicourt issue, anyone that votes with such homer picks, and ignores any rational, logical sense when defending those arguments doesn't need to be casting votes for MVP, Hall of Fame etc.

    He clearly ignored the guidelines to the voting

    That's not unfortunate at all. This revolution has changed the way the media runs. Yes, it's slowly but surely killing print media but classes in college now are centered on mass media students being excellent with online capabilities.

    Technological revolutions are not unfortunate...only for those unwilling to change

    Yeah I agree with that, the only reason I said unfortunate was because I used to love reading the Boston Globe or the Herald and it is slowly dominishing. Most of those writers are electronic now which doesn't hurt since I am now living out of the area, haha.

    It'd be easier to recognize him if he'd quit trying to disguise himself
