OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

I'm almost afraid to post this, given all the mysterious enemies Will is always darkly alluding to, but I'm always surprised when people link to him and fail to note that he is a comically arrogant ass (although I do appreciate the subject heading, assuming that it's sarcastic, which I imagine is a pretty safe assumption).  I have NEVER had such a strong, negative reaction to someone based only on their writing before.  I totally agree with his politics, so that's not the issue, although I shudder to imagine how irritating someone who doesn't share his politics must find him ...

Yeah, what was up with that?  He made it sound like he was being stalked or something.

Maybe it was all in his head, just like the Cubs' involvement in this trade.

Will Carroll's self-promoting arrogance is annoying.  It's amazing someone as wrong as often and consistently as he is is taken seriously.  Think Rose/MLB deal, Northern Virginia deal done, Nationals were going to be called the Greys, and a bunch of bullshit offers to Beltran.  He's a joke.

Of course, as a blogger like Will who carelessly allowed a little political ventation into his baseball content, and who pretty much lost all faith in mankind from the resulting shitstorm and personal threats, one CAN tend to get a wee bit paranoid.

A guy was threatening to sue Will about something so he temporarily shut down his blog.  He came back and is pompous as always.

Apparently suing and being sued over one's blog is a sign you're really reaching people.

Now, he tweeting about an impending PED suspension. It's apparently a National League pitcher (but not a Met), and a "semi-big" name.

Since when is Lincecum not a big name?

I'll be extremely disappointed if this player isn't somehow connected to the Cardinals.

I'm sick of this douche. He was bragging about turning down a TV appearance. Way to go.
