There's nothing funnier than a sports writer warning a ballplayer to ignore all the mean things he'll see in the papers when he gets to Boston. Especially when it's Dan Shaughnessy.
Soxaholix muses:
... Shaughnessy's like the O.J. of sportswriters. Always innocent, always some othah guys calling playahs "pieces of filth."
Seriously. He ought to write a book like O.J. and call it "If I wanted to create a negative environment for ballplayers and run them out of town by writing column after vitriolic column, this is how I'd do it." ...
The Chief: The CHB outdoes himself today, flip-flopping all over the sports page like a netted cod:
He criticizes the Red Sox for overspending for Daisuke Matsuzaka while also arguing that the Sox are finally waking up to the "fact" they need to "win now." The piece epitomizes everything that is wrong with Dan Shaughnessy ...
