ThinkProgress overlord Faiz Shakir has nothing better to do than to circulate controversy between Joba Chamberlain and ESPN’s Erin Andrews. I know, pathetic, right? I thought TP was supposed to be constantly on the lookout for right-wing chicanery. But since he e-mailed this, let’s have it out.
So the idea is you’re supposed to be enthralled and scandalized by the fact that at the end of the interview Andrews rolls her eyes. Joba must be a real jerk! Got to hate a Yankee flamethrower who’s focused on his ailing father! Stay classy, Faiz Shakir.
Top of the fourth, one out, O’s up over the Yanks 4-zip. Now two outs. Hughes got lit up last night. Why are the Yankees having such trouble with the admittedly-hot-out-the-gate Orioles?
Inning over with Matsui stranded. Dammit, Robi, you’re the next Rod Carew! Why can’t you show any patience at the plate?
Update: This kid Ross Ohlendorf? Whom we got in the Randy Johnson trade? He can really pitch! Let’s have some offense now please.
Update 2: Camden Yards is now pushing the slogan “This Is Birdland.” Did no one realize that could be interpreted as a reference to selling cocaine? An unimpeachable truth about Baltimore is unintentionally revealed.
Update 3: O’s leave the bases loaded in the 7th, but not before they increase the margin to 6-0. Yeah, yeah, I know — April baseball, rebuilding year blah blah blah. But this is a demoralizing rout.
