I just read the Jerome Solomon column. The whiny little baby wants out in the worst way. I hope he gets his wish soon.Sorry if the column has been talked about elsewhere. My Cabrera meter is in the shop.
Link?
It's behind the Chron pay wall.
Well then, fuck Bud Norris and the Chron.
"There's a lot going on around me. I've seen a lot of trades in my 3 1/2 years up here."I've seen stable, veteran players get moved to new organizations. Sometimes you don't understand why it's not you. So, it's been tough. ... Now that my name's the one popping up, it's a little different feeling. At the end of the day, I need to prepare myself to pitch every five days for the team I'm on. I've been in Houston my entire career. All I know is pitching for this team. If it changes, it changes. But it's not going to change my aspect of going out there and pitching.""You have to be informed," he said. "I don't think you want to be blindsided by it: One day, you come to the park and, boom, you're gone. I don't pay too much attention to it, but I'm definitely in the loop. I get tidbits here and there ... But it comes down to the front office. I have to impress somebody enough where they want to come get me."
it is in today's Austin American-Statesman.
Fuck the Statesman, too.
that is SOP for its sports department that newspaper. run a day old column from another paper.
While I certainly agree with "shut up and pitch" and I haven't read the column, Solomon gets blasted by David Coleman of Crawfish Boxes.
the article said after a recent loss, he blamed everybody and everything, including the air conditioning.sorry, pots, if he is your cousin, but fuck Bud Norris. shut up and pitch.
The only air conditioning comment I can find is when they were at fielding practice the AC shutoff temproarily and joked to a teammate that it was due to Appel's contract (saving money). Wasn't made to the press, wasn't meant to be serious. Maybe there is a different air conditioning comment?
look, pal, I am sorry I offended your brother.take it up with Solomon.
Solomon is an ass.
Man, Footer really torched him. I miss her being on the beat.
Nice little Twitter tiff going on between her and Solomon. She called him out good.
And he's such a dick in his responses to her.
Solomon is the worst. I hate that this thread was even started. Norris did nothing wrong and it's just Solomon continuing to add to his legacy of being a shitty Houston columnist.
mea culpa, all you Solomon-haters. he may be a dick. is he lying in his column? if so, ban me from posting for a week.
Footer: "it was the lowest of the low even by Chron standards."OUCH. And I love how Norris refuses to talk to Solomon. This is good.
Wait... so Footer is pregnant?
Wow. What Solomon did shows a total lack of journalistic capability and is void of any professional integrity. On several levels. I doubt he even knows it. He must be a real dick.
Isn't the Chronicle now a Hearst paper? For ten years or so? They don't improve anything they touch.
Sometimes quite the opposite!
