This kind of thing is akin to Joe Morgan's repeated claim that Billy Beane wrote "Moneyball". Absurd.

I think he was trying to imply that after <em>Moneyball</em> made Beane and the A's the darlings of baseball (for being 'small-market', whatever that means) that the team decided to commission a book about the Sox because they were jealous of the attention to Oakland. Ridiculous.

Schilling was just a throw in and Bryant didn't do anything in the way of research. ESPN sucks. Their studio analysts are morons and their writers are weak. Gammons even got into the act by trying to say that Joba Chamberlain looked over to A-Rod for approval after throwing at Youk's head. Not sure where or even how he could have seen that one. Although I thought I saw that washed up whore Clemens giving the young Chamberlain a lecture prior to JC going back out to the mound in the 9th....... That article was more about Mussina.
