Proof that Jeff Gordon is an idiot

[TheoSqua]

move this to rants if you want, but here's the first part of Gordon's recent article:

Why would the Cardinals not keep handy veteran Aaron Miles, a tenacious hitter, solid second baseman and decent back-up shortstop?

And if David Eckstein was willing to sign a one-year, $4.5 million contract with the Blue Jays to re-establish his value, why didn’t the Cardinals make that happen here?

Do people seriously listen to this guy? You'd think that you'd know a bit about baseball or the economics of the game when your job is a sports writer. He gets PAID to follow sports, and the best he can come up with is looking at a deal in hindsight and calling Aaron Miles a TENACIOUS HITTER? ARGH!

Why do I even go to that website? Both comments defy logic.

The whole article is a real peach.

You're right RC that article had so many stupid comments it was hard to keep track.

This one made me laugh..

He’s out the door now (Eckstein), though, along with Miles. The Cards lost some more of their championship chemistry.

Did he forget all of last year? I didn't realize that the championship chemistry was there.

And he wanted Cliff Floyd? Yeah, lets grab another bad defensive outfielder that will probably be on the DL for 1/2 the season.

Those were two of the comments I was thinking of. The 'championship chemistry' comment is pure awesomeness.

There's still a lot of championship chemistry here. Let's see how much that helps outs this year.

Oh, ye of little faith! You needed proof?

Bernie says that the Cardinals offered Eck a 3 year/21 million dollar deal during the spring of last year. I can't believe Eck didn't take that, I'd fire my agent if I were him.

Ugh. I'm quite glad he didn't accept it.
