    I can't refute any of it. But I don't really know much about Rob Parker.

    Who is Ella going to use her Hall of Fame vote on?

    That can't be proven until a judge unseals the record

    For someone who is supposed to be warm, close personal friends with Wahb, you sure don't know much about his situation.


    BTW, warm, close personal friends is the phrase Wahbby uses on TV for his "inside sources". My guess is it's really the voices in his head.

    Apparently not as much as you Hank because you know it all.

    How many chances did Steve Howe get?

    True, but he's only gotten worse in the two years since that Big Lead piece. Everything cited by Slappy was just his doings in the last year or so. If he'd already been called the "Worst Columnist in America" back then, it sure doesn't say much for where his standing must be now.

    I'd agree this whole thing was way overblown and Parker deserved no further reprimand IF he didn't have that history. But, damn, does he ever have a history. This is more of a final straw than anything else.

    I dig.

    But Howe was busy abusing himself.

    Rocker went public with his PC tonedeaf-ness.
