The responses in this thread have cracked me up. As always, the Rantards can't comprehend basic English. Or maybe I should have explained myself better...so "my bad".

First, it wasn't a "he sho is mad" post because LSU lost a meaningless midweek game to Nicholls State. I am not mad, butthurt, crying, or anything else. I actually have the brain power to understand that one baseball game out of 60+ means nothing in the grand scheme of things.

And I give less of a damn about college baseball rankings, which is one of the most pointless endeavors in all of college athletics.

I was merely pointing out an example of poor journalism and calling out the author. As some of the more informed posters have said, the first sentence about LSU's lofty rankings tumbling is probably false. If LSU wins their games this weekend, they will probably not fall at all in the polls. Either way...who cares?

Point is, I think it is worth the effort to bring attention to poor journalism. It is clear that the author does not understand college baseball and how it works, and as others who follow him more closely than I have noticed, he seems to take little digs and jabs when he can at LSU. I couldn't care less about his personal agenda...I just don't need to read it in his stories. The lead to that article sounded like it was written by some "the sky is falling" idiot from the game thread.

I assure you he does know. He wrote that knowing full well how wrong it was.

FWIW, that's what I got from your post. Probably a stronger reaction than I would have had, but I get it. It does irk me when people say stupid crap, especially when they are in the media and/or you know they are saying it to get a reaction or further an agenda. Actually, it's worse if they aren't saying it to get a reaction because it makes you wonder how these shitzippers managed to land cool jobs covering sports despite their lack of knowledge about the sports they cover.
