Real Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 (edited) http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=5043794 I'm actually shocked at where they picked us in this video, given it's ESPN Anyways, nice to see more national (east coast) recognition I put this in PHT, because the Sox are included. I just didn't want to spoil the ranking in the subtitle for those who hadn't seen the video yet Edited April 2, 2010 by Real Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitoMB345 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Interesting.. I would have flipped the two rankings myself. Who is this guy though? I don't think I've ever seen him before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottyDo Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Even while giving us love, they're pretty apologetic about it. I really can't tolerate the bias on ESPN anymore so I just don't watch. Ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On paper national outlets will have to give the White Sox props, it would be a glaring omission if they didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longshot7 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Yeah, that's from First Take from a few days ago. Masarotti is a Red Sox beat writer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 um, there was no apologies or bias in it, the guy repeated how much he loved the white sox staff. It was a good piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He flat out said the White Sox might have the best pitching staff in the AL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He flat out said the White Sox might have the best pitching staff in the AL. "I think the White Sox are terrific" if that's not apologizing I don't know what is.

ScottyDo Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Well maybe it's just me who perceived it this way, but when he said at the end "I think the White Sox pitching is up there with the Yankees and Boston," that kind of annoyed me. He picked us 2nd for starting staff, 1st for bullpen, yet we're approaching the big bad Yankees and Red Sox? If anything, they're approaching us, according to his analysis. Since nobody else seemed to be annoyed by that, it's entirely possible that their long-time bias has simply biased me against ESPN and I have a mental block on accepting compliments from them.

He said at the "very least" they're right up there with the Red Sox and Yankees. That's a pretty fair assessment to me. And there's really no more excuses to have to turn to ESPN for your baseball fix anymore. MLB network >>> ESPN. But in this case, the Boston writer was being more than fair.

Texsox Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 A lotta Sox love in that piece. If he posted here for a couple days, we'd beat that s*** out of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 I'm surprised he ranked our bullpen first... You'd think he'd put the Red Sox somewhere in there at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
