The Great Hank the Dog Conspiracy (Latest: dental records and microchip evidence indicate that Hank is alive and well)

Everybody needs to lighten up. Hank is fun. He's a good little doggie. It's ok to have a little silliness and joy in sports and in life. Not everything has to revolve around draft slotting, OPS, and ground ball ratios.

 

[sarcasm]Meh. He is too short for first and too slow for SS. His OBP is all based on AVE and barely has any ISO...[/sarcasm]

I agree 100%

 

It's like some people are offended that he gets publicity.

I'm not offended if Hank gets publicity......... the stand-in, however....

I only got about halfway through that article. I'd rather watch the Hank the Dog press conference three times over before I'd waste my time finishing that article. Who is Ben Bromly? And is he usually seen shouting "get off my lawn!" from his porch?

[hawing]

Thumbs-down to that column, and not only for the dog puns:

 

There’s no denying that the Hank marketing campaign has been a hit among casual fans couldn’t tell you whether Orlando Arcia is the Brewers’ prized prospect or the star of a telenovela.

If it weren't another terrible pun, my opinion of that writing effort would be WOOF.

Given that it comes from the "Baraboo News Republic" and the title picture is presumably the author... it sounds like someone else is pimping for more publicity.

[docduany]

Hey now, what's wrong with Baraboo!! Bromley is the local columnist. The good old Baraboo News Republic is fine for a small towns paper. Not exactly the New York Times. You're hopeful it gets your obit correct and everything else is gravy.

It's a great little clown town.

 

Just not a hot bed for major journalist.

I think we all know how someone like Tony La Russa feels about this kind of sentimentality in baseball...
