In the midst of dealing with a hard-on the size of a house at the possibility of Manny Ramirez coming to Miami to play for the Marlins, I noticed something fishy about The World Wide Leader's reporting on the story. Early in the afternoon, the only place this rumor/story(?) was being reported was at Baseball Prospectus and, later, Sports Illustrated. Now I know we're generally pretty hard on SI in general and Jon Heyman in particular, (and by "we" I basically mean Passive Voice) but to their credit SI/Heyman had the professionalism and decency to mention BP's breaking of the story.
Jon Heyman, you are frequently a dumbass and/or unfunny, but today you're a righteous dude.
You do see where this is going, don't you?
ESPN reported the story on their website (or at least "updated" it, whatever that means) at 8:47 PM. They cited "sources" that told "Buster Olney." No mention of SI. No mention of BP. Nothing.
On behalf of BP, and I think, most of the blogosphere-- Fuck you, ESPN, you unprofessional bunch of cunts.

Someone at ESPN needs to be shot...
We're totally cool with Satire here at Fire Everybody! We love the Onion, Cracked, and Gulliver's Travels (we're well-read bloggers; what do you think we do when we're not blogging and sick in bed because of all the mold in this here basement? That's right, we read Jonathan Swift.)
Having said that, news sources that try to pass themselves off as credible should not be indulging in satire. Like this unfunny piece of shit.
Yes, I know, it's Page 2, and yes, I know, ESPN traded its credibility to some Saigon whore for a handjob years ago, but c'mon.
Much as I'm annoyed by this article, it does beg the question-- would ANYONE be surprised to read the exact same text under Wojciechowski or some other ESPN-tard's name? I mean didn't we just lampoon virtually the same article here a few days ago?
This isn't clever, funny, and really it isn't even satire. I wish in this modern age of the internet for a term to describe just this kind of assholish writing.
