yep. and it was over such a harmless comment..don't even remember what i said. i've written much, much more severe criticisms of his work over the years. took him a long time to finally give me snark like that. i was surprised on both fronts.

he once told me in an email that the press box (i forget which arena) was positioned in such a way that they had poor site lines, which was the reason for why his description of a specific play was completely wrong.

Carchidi once told me I didn't know anything about producing a newspaper and how tight his deadline was. That meant he didn't have all the time in the world to check his facts so if he described the play wrong it wasn't from lack of effort.

I told him I'd worked in production on newspapers for 30 years and I was pretty sure that he got the box score before his deadline so getting the goal scorer wrong was pretty inexcusable. All my email after that was returned as spam.

calm down bro

did you watch the video of berube talking about it. said he's happy with Gus but he had a bit of a down game and he's trying to work everybody in the lineup.
- Crimsoninja

I didn't. I'm not buying that reasoning. A bit of a down game? Who hasn't had a bit of a down game on this team? God forbid we stick with the kid through a couple game lull. This came from the top they are desperate to trade Mez. It's a showcase

Not enough inexplicable periods. And capitalization in the middle of statements.

I'm a work in progress. Give me something with smelly fish and I can knock it out of the park.

I'm sure there are no monitors in the press box.

To err is human. Which is why I only read Bill. His obvious love of what he does makes me smile. And he has a fluid literary style coupled with strong research skills. I could bash the other guys, I just choose to follow those worth the effort.

Why are they desperate to trade Meszaros now when they are already on LTIR for the rest of the season?

There aren't really any teams who would be interested in him, anyway.

which was exactly my point. i said something to the effect of "please let me do your job since you seem incapable of accurately describing what you're being paid to report." and i got nothin'.

Carchidi's post about Zherdev being potentially big in playoff shootouts is what stopped me reading any of the local scribes. I mean how do you take it seriously after something like that.

All I said was "you guys are killing me" then pointed out the mistakes. One was nice, the other a douche
