[Bring Back the Stein]

He got his job because he's a minority and so is Garry Howard, the clown editor at the JS. It is almost unheard of for someone that young to get a beat job with a professional team. They booted Rick Braun off the beat and gave it AW. Braun was not perfect, but he was a hell of a lot more tactful than AW. He at least didn't do anything to warrant losing his job, but that's Garry Howard for you.

Garry Howard is a clown, but no more a clown than the rest of the editors at that paper. Race has nothing to do with it. They're clowns without regard to their skin color. The suggestion that someone got a position because of their race is highly inflammatory, no matter if you believe it or not. In any case, I don't think it's appropriate for this venue.

Rick's knowledge of the minors was abhorrent. A typical answer started with "the last I heard," and then he'd say something that was about a month old. As far as any detail, forget it.

 

As for the race thing, let's cut it off right here before it sidetracks the thread and causes temptation to escalate it into something that's inappropriate.

The MJS as a whole is pretty much a mess. It's really a shame that they can't seem to hire anyone who'll do a respectable job getting news out to the readers. There's a lot of up-and-coming young writers out there that are twice as talented that would kill for the chance to cover a big league team. Just promoting the guy they had covering Preps to the Brewers beat shows how much effort they really put into the search.

Witrado seems to be the guy who keeps harping on the strikeouts each and every time he can. It's in some ways amazing that you can have lots of people who love baseball and go out of their way to understand it, and then you have guys who feel put upon having to do what's basically a 3/4 a year job. Yes, the travel can be tough and the hours not set, but most other jobs don't feed you.
