Off-Day Fun: Mail Bomb Kawakami

In case you missed it, Tim Kawakami continues to prove he's a poor man's Skip Bayless with his latest article hating on Barry Zito's latest performance.

So, with the Giants off today, I say use the extra three hours of the day to MAILBOMB KAWAKAMI!

Here's a form letter for your convenience:

Dear Tim,

In regards to your latest abomination of a column on Barry Zito's 10 K performance, I have three words for you:

Stick to basketball.

If you'd like a further explication of my vitriol towards the poor excuse for journalism that you spew, please refer to this: http://www.orangeblackandblue.com/2008/07/open-letter-to-kawakami.html.

Best always,
(You)
UPDATE (10:36AM): JLev concocted a fantastic addendum to the above.  Sheer brilliance:
Your ugly tendency to focus on the negative, while fun to write and perhaps to read, is hackish at best and seems like the biggest cop-out you could make.

I’m no Zito apologist, but wouldn’t it be a lot more inventive and (dare I say) original if you were to do something other than bash the piƱata at this birthday party?  Is it really that hard to come up with something better than a “Zito Still Sucks” article? 

Yeah he’s overpaid, yeah he underperforms, but you aren’t getting the Pulitzer for deflating a fanbase and rehashing old points.  Wait, we gave him a $126 million contract?  NO WAY!!  Now I am outraged.  Thanks for the info, Tim.

Let's get this sad excuse for a sportswriter.

Seriously, what's up with these hacks we have for Bay Area sportswriters? Baggarly and Schulman are the only legit baseball guys with journalistic integrity; everyone else likes being cynical and "controversial."

Hasan said...

Agreed, Cat. Baggarly in particular is a rare diamond in the pile of turd of Bay Area sports media.

Tim said...

Guys, if you want to start talking about critical and cynical people covering the Giants, I think we should start right here...

...I'm amazed that all of a sudden JLev and Hasan have hope for the Zito era...

Hasan said...

Once we're through with this TK, you're next, Tim.
