Benjamin (Univ. of MD): Will, I'm sure you've had many questions about your call on the Tiger-Marlins deal. How did that deal go from dead (as you called it) to green light so quickly?
Will Carroll: I got suckered on that one (calling it dead). I'm not happy about it, but it was a trusted source with a team.
Also:
BREAKING -- looks like Fukudome will decide today. Someone made a big offer. My guess? Cubs.
Tim Lincecum is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Not at all impressed with Bill James. He's boring.
The coffee in Nashville stinks.

Who the PHOkK is Will Carroll? I guess Bill James is just so phokking passe. I'm sorry the guy most responsible for giving you a free pass for the rest of your name-dropping insider-loving life is just so yesterday's news.
Ugh.
This guy should work in the Bush Dirt House - he'd fit right in with the rest of the Nepomaniacs and ass-lickers. They can pile it on when the guy's not the it-girl of the moment and they wouldn't recognize genuine brilliance if it bit them in the ass.
Is Bill James kind of full of himself and oft a bit of the prude/pain in the ass? Sure.
Did he nearly single-handedly begin the popularization of the whole movement fondly known as sabermetrics and create new ways of thinking about value that eliminated two of the three triple crown categories as those essential to evaluating a hitter? Yeah, but he's boring.
I mean he just totally changed how the game is measured and how the talent is appreciated, but he's phokking boring.
I guess he doesn't write for Sports Illustrated or suckle the ESPN tit.
And Will Carroll could never write a piece that was as creative, entertaining, and damning as Bill James did about Hal Chase in his Historical Almanacs.
Oh and did Fukudome sign yesterday? No he didn't, so Will why don't you fukudourself.
