Golic rips Daugherty

by snohio on Dec 10, 2008 9:24 AM EST Comment 26 comments

I was listening to Mike and Mike this morning on the way to work and Greenie starts talking about an article written by Paul "Doherty" in the USA Today this morning which was really "our own" Paul Daugherty. His article Baseball's disconnect with fans was reprinted in USA Today apparently. (I can understand the mis-pronunciation of his last name, Brad Daugherty is pronounced Doherty.)

Anyway, Greenie is basically reading the column which goes on and on about the disparity between real world economics and baseball economics and how Daugherty feels that CC shouldn't take all of that money. Golic was like "So what - what is baseball supposed to do? What are the owners supposed to do? What is the point of the article."

I just thought it was amusing for Golic to rip on him for writings a worthless piece of fluff with a question and no answer. I guess he got some national exposure out of it. Maybe other markets will see what media we have to deal with on a regular basis in this city.

When has "doc" ever made sense

If it’s not couches, it’ players and owners turning down money one wants and the other has? The man is a dolt. In fact, Ruth answered his question 65 years years ago: “I had a better year than Hoover.” Baseball and economy of the average man/woman are barely connected.

anyone wondering about the decline of sportswriting

only has to look at something he’s produced for the answer.

is it a decline in sports writing

or an ascent made by the fans?

That's a really good point, rec'd

Back in the day print media was ALL we had for the most part. I remember scouring the newspaper box scores and recaps of games the night before when I got home from school. Now I can watch a game pitch by pitch on my phone.

Journalists have been reduced to just being another person with a viewpoint on what’s going on. They used to be one of five voices. Now they’re one of five thousand. It’s no wonder they hate and deride us, we’ve made them irrelevant.

5 years ago i thought Hal wrote the gospel

now with online blogs and what not, it is easier to get more information.

Hal didn't write the gospel; he wrote The Iliad

I think Homer

killed Daugherty’s dog. He sounded like he wouldn’t trade Bailey for garbage. Just sounded ignorant in general.

All those with an SPJ award raise your hand...

ah, ah, ah Doc….not so fast. What’s that? Pops Daniels has one? So then, is it valuable? No? Is any of it? No? Does your opinion really matter to anyone with firing neurons? No? Well then what the fuck?

are you insinuating something

about a potentially homosexual relationship between me and Andrew on the D.L.? There is absolutely no truth to that rumor, or if there is I was black out drunk, high, on barbiturates, heroine, and L.S.D., and I had no idea what was going on, and Andrew tricked me into thinking he was checking my colon.

Hal is old and set in his ways

P-Doc is an arrogant shit who pretends he’s Mr. understatment
Tracer is an arrogant prick and knows it.
sMarty should be sent to the ‘old announcer’s’ home.
C. Trent needs to get off the Prince Fielder Diet and ‘out’ himself.
Brantly is a one trick pony.
tHom should stick to basketball
Lance talks way too much, but he oft times tries to be positive
Fay is fey.
With small exception these guys are somewhat disconnected from the real fans here at RR.

Fay is the best out of them all

sad as it is to say. I think Fay has improved, I have noticed him referring to OBP and OPS more and more, and I feel like he even wrote in his blog that OBP is probably a better stick to measure a hitter than batting average.
