Okay, so that sounds like Limbaugh, Coulter et al, but on Marketwatch? Unlike Limbaugh and Coulter, at least Friedman is an amusing read, since he's not vicious and vile. But he's certainly incompetent as a columnist.

Also, if memory serves, Clemens began that least year in Boston hurt, and pitched much better the second half. Seth, what I hate about the media is the media complaining about the media. (Not directed at you.) Partisan clowns like O'Reilly, Limbaugh, Hannity and Coulter openly criticize the media not acknowledging that they are a part of it. Um, folks, you ARE the media. Wait. Maybe they should be complaining. About themselves. Ogie, Duke’s “Twilight” comment has been taken out of context since Day 1.

Clemens' last for years in Boston he was 40-39 and then he leads the AL in wins, ERA and Ks for the next two seasons in Toronto...
