[USML Announce] The Case Gets Stronger

[JHWinick at aol.com]

I offer further evidence in support of my petition to have Mark "PT"  
Blocker's membership in COPS revoked:
 
Exhibit #1 - As I understand it, the purpose of COPS is to actively  
discourage the over-hyping of young players who are then included as key  components 
of dump trades.  Is not Joey "Monster-Talent" Gathright the  poster child for 
the very type of hucksterism that COPS is designed to  prevent?
 
This just hit the wires:
 
    Jun. 6 _Joey  Gathright (OF) TB_ 
(http://www.rototimes.com/index.php?sport=bsball&type=profile&name=4082)  was optioned to Triple-A Durham Tuesday to 
make room  on the roster for Rocco Baldelli, according to the AP. Gathright hit 
.201  with 12 stolen bases in 55 games. 
 
Exhibit #2 - Brad "Lee" Jansen revealed what many of us have known all  
along.  The power behind the throne wasn't Mike Rogers, it was (and is)  Mark 
Blocker.  Anyone else catch the fact that Bradlee slipped and  complimented Mark on 
his judgment and skill.  Surely that's not in  reference to Mark's 
stewardship of the Bombers.  It can only be a sly  reference to Mark's behind the scenes 
work on behalf of the Torns.  The  drive for five is obviously merely how 
Mark deflects attention from  himself while quietly coaching The RipTorns to 
victory.  Maybe "PT" is  the wrong moniker.  Maybe "KR" as in Karl Rove is more 
appropos?
 
Bottom line - If there's any legitimacy to this fledgling organization, I  
say PT can't be a member.
 
 
That is all.
