2009 Tom Haudricourt thread

[homer]

I think Tom was just trying to clear the air about Law. He had posted a comment in a different thread that Law's article/post was based on a letter sent to several dozen media outlets when in fact Law had talked to Escobar's ex on the phone.

 

I'm sure the journalistic code of ethics says you are supposed to publicly perform a mea culpa when your facts are wrong. I'm guessing Law caught wind of it and called Tommy up to see what the deal was.

I perceive a general lack of competence over at that paper. There's a really super-egregious English error by Anthony Witrado in yesterday's Escobar article. A copy reader definitely should have caught it. Still, it's the type of error that Anthony shouldn't have made in the first place.

Even their Packer coverage is slipping. And you're right, it's not just the sports section. The news section carries a ridiculous bias in their reporting. It would be nice if they chose not to editorialize outside of the editorial sections.

 

Escobar and Hardy don't let it affect their friendship, however, and it doesn't stop Hardy from encouraging his possible predecessor.

Clearly, Witrado is referring to some unknown future occurrence where Hardy returns to the Brewers a la Cirillo to take over for an aging Escobar.
