Finally, a place where we can all go to collectively rip Jay Mariotti

May 24th, 2006 | Posted by PostmanR

We here at the Postmen (like both White Sox and Cubs organizations, sports bloggers everywhere and anyone who actually knows good writing/journalism) can’t stand Jay Mariotti’s columns in the Chicago Sun-Times.

He flip-flops more than John Kerry. He writes to get a rise out of people. He doesn’t do thorough research. And according to A.J. Pierzynski, he hasn’t been in the White Sox clubhouse since he’s been on the team.

Not to mention, we never agree with his stance on anything.

He, well, frankly, isn’t good at what he does.

But don’t fret, Mariotti haters. We now all have a blog on the interweb to read about all of Mariotti’s blunders – jaythejoke.com.

Here are a few choice cuts.

This is a classic example of something jaythejoke.com refers to as “The Mariotti Flip.” Two weeks ago the guy is lambasting Frank and praising Williams for getting rid of him. This week? He’s as happy as a schoolboy watching Frank hit dingers at the Cell and acting as if two home runs make Williams look like a fool.There is no consistancy from week to week. He simply picks something inflamatory, gets out his thesaurus and starts writing.

And in another post….

Today Jay showed that his computer has a thesaurus by using words like hubris and rancor in first sentence of his column. Unfortunately, anyone stupid enough to read this man’s column obviously has no idea what those words mean. Moving on.

We LOVE this site.
