Peter Abraham Goes Trolling
During Boston’s recent ‘will the coaches be paid or not’ controversy New York beat writer Pete Abraham wrote the following:
So let’s review. The Yankees are charitable men of honor who help their fellow man in a time of need. The Sox are a greedy disgrace to the game.
A few hours later Abraham updated the post:
Thanks to all the Red Sox fans who had somebody write me nasty e-mails on their behalf. Good stuff.
Classic trolling, of course. If there’s any question why the comment section of The LoHud Yankees Blog is such a wasteland devoid of intelligence, look no further. Abraham makes a habit of it; calling Fenway a dump, the players classless, the fans drunk. And that’s fine; I’ll be the first to admit Red Sox blogs are littered with the same kind of drivel.
But most aren’t being paid to write. Peter Abraham is. He’s a professional. It’s too bad nonsense such as this overshadows his work.
