Bill Conlin Wishes You Were Dead
Written by wrigleyville   
Tuesday, 27 November 2007
This is a few days old, but see the fascinating e-mail exchange between crashburnalley.com and Philly Daily News columnist Bill Conlin about whether Jimmy Rollins or David Wright should have been NL MVP.

In short, Conlin apparently is an angry, angry man who doesn't like people to be able to share their opinions on the tubes of the Interweb. And don't talk to him about your numbers, either.
Among the highlights:

Don’t you need to contact the 30 electors–including the two Mets beat writers–who failed to give write a single first place vote instead of a commentator who does not vote for the awards. You’re a Mets fan and you had your little bubble of arrogance and smugness burst. Your team choked big time, an epic gagaroo. At least the 1964 Phillies had an excuse–they were probably no more than the Cardinals, Reds, Braves, Dodgers and Giants that year. One question: When a Mets team chokes in a forest and nobody is there to hear it, does it make a gagging sound? Next time bring more to the table than wishful fan numbers that bear no semblance to reality. I wonder how it feels to be the Phillies bitch. ...

Crashburnalley, by the way, is a Phillies blog.

And then this:

The only positive thing I can think of about Hitler’s time on earth–I’m sure he would have eliminated all bloggers. In Colonial times, bloggers were called “Pamphleteers.” They hung on street corners handing them out to passersby. Now, they hang out on electronic street corners, hoping somebody mouses on to their pretentious sites. Different medium, same MO. Shakespeare accidentally summed up the genre best with these words from a MacBeth soliloquy: “. . .a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. . .”

As always, the lesson here is: e-mail is not for old people.
