…is a serious fucking hack. Jesus, he hung onto that for how long?

Plus just look at the writing of that post. Memo to Jock-Sniffer: It’s not all about you. People log onto your crappy blog to read about sports. Not what passes for the inner drama going on in your head. Again – and I’ve told you this about 15 times by now – Just because it happened to you, does not make it interesting.

but this is ridiculous. He feels the need to bring up a slight from fourteen months? WTF?

Is Roch suddenly going all Jay Marrioti on us?

I responded on his blog post, and I think he challenged me to a fight on Opening Day. There’s at least a veiled hint of menace.

Lesse:

My mom? Doesn’t have a basement.
Me? Called Roch a jock sniffing turd from an apartment in Northern Virginia.
Me again? Often kissed by my wife.
Me yet again? Still blogging a bit.
Roch’s jokes? Still lame, still tired. This marks at least the four-hundred-thousandth use of the “blogger living in mom’s basement who can’t kiss a girl.”

Opening Day is April 6. Please stop by the front of the press box and introduce yourself. In the meantime, thanks for reading. As always. – Roch

Note, he DID cut out part of my comment; I also asked how it felt to google yourself and get my blog post as the 5th result.

Is his skin this thin? Really?

I don’t intend to respond further, maybe another blog post. As one friend said, don’t get in a shouting match with someone who has a much large megaphone (and it’s a shouting match no one would care about). I rest assured, however, that in a war of pure words, Roch may have the larger platform, but I am better armed.

I like Roch, he’s the man.

I’d expect that he was joking, what with the mom’s basement stuff. But this is Roch we’re talking about…

Gotta wonder if anyone at MASN notices that Roch is using their website to invite people who call him names to meet him in front of the press box on opening day. I’m assuming since you called him a turd he isn’t offering to give you a stadium tour.

Complete this sentence: “Sports journalism is to regular journalism as …”

man you better watch out, he might get Anita Marks on you… that girl is sassy!

I think Roch has a kickass job now with MASN. Blogs, gets paid for it, has real team connections, gets the inside skinny, belittles people who like the team and think Jay Gibbons is a douchebag, and comes to the moronic conclusion that Alex Rodriguez “finally came clean,” which is lauaghble. Alex Rodriguez was forced to “come clean,” and he still refuses to totally do so. “I took something. I don’t know what! I was naive. I apologize for being naive. It was a loose culture!”

Pretty stirring, Roch.

wow didn’t see this one coming…

should unite on opening day and show up at Roch’s door with NUMBERS!! Haymakers galore for you Mr. Kubatko, your job is mine fucker!!

You probably struck the right nerve when you’ve got a guy holding a grudge for over a year and calling you out for a fight. Talk about elevating your opponent! I salute you.

SC says to go for the hadouken but I think you’d be better off with a shoryuken. He’ll never see it coming.

actually wants to throw down or what. It does seem a little ominous to be doing the “come see me face to face” thing. Like I could get near the press box on Opening Day anyway?

I don’t know that I have ‘Blogger Street Cred,’ but I did go back and check my comments on Roch’s original post on his old Sun blog; I didn’t call him a “jock sniffing turd” there, so he must have read the post on LBAM, and he must’ve been holding on to it, or recently googled himself. Either way it is pretty pathetic to bust out the “blogger in his mom’s basement harf harf harf NERRRRRDDDS” kind of comment.

Ultimately I felt…and still do feel…that Roch defended Jay Gibbons back in the day not because he felt Gibbons was worthy of defending, but because he liked him, because he was a good quote or easy interview or something. I don’t know. I DO know that Gibbons said just as many dumb things about steroids as A-Rod did, and took the exact same ‘apology’ strategy…he just had a smaller platform to do it with so nobody outside of Baltimore really noticed. And Roch defended him, even said he had a ‘plausible’ excuse.

I stand by my original ‘jock sniffing turd’ comment. And while I won’t be getting in the ring with Roch any time soon (he does look jacked, but I bet I throw a better punch) I still think he’s a doofus and doing the ‘come to the press box on opening day’ was just as lame as calling me a loser living in my mom’s basement. Is that really even the blogger stereotype anymore? I don’t think it is. And while I think Roch has a sweet gig these days, he’s not exactly Ring Lardner, whose position and prestige as a sportswriter I envy every night as I cry over my blogs.

i always knew a lot of you were jealous of roch but now it’s all out in the open

just HOW jealous? well that i did not know
