A thought from over the weekend…

Now that Lamar’s quest for home run number 756 is over, what’s gonna happen to ESPN’s Pedro Gomez?

In having to shadow Lamar daily for the last few years, Gomez had the Most Thankless Job In Sports On Earth, which he performed admirably. Frankly, if Lamar had griped about me as publicly as he did Gomez, I’d have fought him. Granted, I’d have taken my lengthy, steroid-fueled hospital stay afterward, but then, I’m a hack. Gomez deserves our respect as a professional.

I just wonder if I should be sending a check somewhere. Y’know, to help out until things pick up for him again.
