Whine, whine, whine

The SF Chronicle's Betting Fool does a nice job of mocking the Left Coast's lame coverage of HR 756 -- which basically consisted of writing "Bonds IS Satan" over and over again.

The Fool does an especially nice takedown of the Boston Herald's highly over-rated Bob Ryan --

Let's see if we can make Boston's Bob Ryan perishable while we're at it.
Ryan is a Boston Globe columnist who has seen his share of trouble for saying Jason Kidd should "smack" his wife and some other equally ludicrous angry-old-white-guy statements.
In an August 5 column, he talks of the "most joyless pursuit of a major American sports record" when referring to Bonds. I was there Tuesday, and the place was busting with joy. There was joy leaking into McCovey Cove and out onto the Embarcadero.
Ryan didn't come out here to cover the Bonds HR chase probably because he didn't want to watch Bonds when Barry came to Boston. He couldn't be bothered. Way to follow the news, bro.
Bob wants us to know about the Celtics' Big Three? Yeah, it's a Big One and Two Mediums. Most important record in sports or offseason NBA story? Another good call.
Stay Boston and write incessantly about the Red Sox and Celtics and Patriots. Whoop de flippin' do. And watch your mouth, Bob. I doubt any woman who's ever been "smacked" felt any "joy" during or after such a disgusting act.
The point in all this is that just because something big happened in baseball, and it didn't happen in the two East Coast hubs, that doesn't make it any less valuable. Unless, of course, you ask the people of Boston and New York.
