Shorter Baseball Columnists!
It’s time for another installment of “Shorter Baseball Columnists,” in which we read mainstream baseball columnists and marginalized bloggers like Murray Chass so you don’t have to! Let us begin!
Shorter Bob Ryan: Confused about how to resolve the “PED users and the Hall of Fame” conundrum? Boy, do I have a terrible idea!
Shorter Dan Shaughnessy: A number of athletes have said stupid things on Twitter. This is Twitter’s fault.
Shorter Woody Paige: Ubaldo Jimenez is much like every other person who lives in Colorado, in that they couldn’t possibly want to live anywhere else.
Shorter Jim Souhan: A number of nameless, unquoted, possibly nonexistent fans want the Twins to sell off at the deadline so as to ensure that the team doesn’t get embarrassed in the playoffs once again. The Twins should totally sell off at the deadline, but that’s not why they should do it.
Shorter Bruce Jenkins: The Brewers’ pennant hopes will quite possibly hinge on Nyjer Morgan’s flamboyance.
Shorter Mike Peticca: I don’t understand WAR. At all.
The “Shorter” approach to Internetty commentary traces back, as best as one can tell, to Daniel Davies.
Handsome Dayn Perry can be found making love to the reader at CBSSports.com's Eye on Baseball. He is available for all your Twitter needs.
Dayn, promise me you will never switch pictures for this line of fantastic notgraphs installments.
I think it’s about time these installments are given a place in that “notgraphs categories” box to the right.
