Rob Parker: Voice of Reason
In case you missed it, apparently the Dontrelle Willis contract-extension was a bad idea. Why? Because after an awful spring training, a few bad outings, some awful re-hab outings, a failed bullpen stint, and one of the worst starts in MLB history… and one of the biggest demotions in recent memory… Rob Parker said that the Willis deal makes no sense. I knew something was fishy about the Willis trade, but it wasn’t until right now, after everything has happened, Mr Parker decided an article should be written letting the public know that the extension was a bad idea.
In other articles, Rob is quick to point out that consuming too much alcohol can make you drunk. Not sure if Rob had input in this article, but apparently wearing flip-flops can cause skin cancer on your feet. You know.. because you’re not wearing any socks.
Sorry for the sarcasm… but i read the headline on detnews.com and i said “i bet Rob Parker wrote that”.. and i was right. Similar to any headline on the freep.com that says “X superstar is an uplifting person and a tribute to society” was probably written by Mitch Albom (my former hero who has dropped to the dredges of fluff writing).
