I love reading ESPN.com’s resident MLB expert and snarky a-hole, Keith Law. Here are some prized excerpts from yesterdays chat:
This one was after a discussion in which Keith Law said he wanted an amateur free agency over a MLB draft:
Joe-NJ
“I would greatly prefer some form of amateur free agency to a slotted draft” Didn’t know you were a Yankees fan
Klaw?
(2:58 PM)KLAW: Yeah, they’ve really cleaned up in international free agency, signing Chapman, Iglesias, Sano, Ynoa, and now Echevarria … oh, wait, they didn’t sign any of those guys. Please pick up the shattered remains of your point before you exit the chat.
Or this one…
harry (aberdeen)Do you realize how big a jerk you come off as in these chats? You make it seem like it’s the last thing you want to be doing.There’s a difference between being witty and downright rude.
Klaw
(3:09 PM)KLAW: I realize that 1-2% of the people reading this chat won’t be smart enough to realize how much of what I write is tongue in cheek. Wait, was that witty, or just downright rude? I won’t tell you which one I was going for.
And this was my favorite:
Scot (TX)Why do you enjoy making babies cry?
Klaw
(3:16 PM)KLAW: I use their tears in my sourdough bread starter.
