Couldn't they take his credentials away on the grounds that he's disturbing the peace or harming the organization or something? Or maybe they don't even need a reason. It's private property and a private company; the First Amendment doesn't apply and if he's on Red Sox property without the proper credentials, couldn't he be tossed out for trespassing?

Don't talk to him. Don't accomodate him. Don't respond to his requests for interviews. Don't give him any material to work with at all. Sooner or later, if the <I>Globe</I> really is interested in anything approaching journalism, they'll need to get a new reporter if they want to get sources. <BR/><BR/>I hope to God this is really what's happening. Just get rid of him. Get him out of this city. I'll never understand why we put up with either him or Tim McCarver--surely at some point there have to be some checks and balances on these guys, or at least some effing karma.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17263668.post-1140639847021700172006-02-22T15:24:00.000-05:002006-02-22T15:24:00.000-05:00Chief, two questions for you:1) When you link to C...Chief, two questions for you:<BR/>1) When you link to CHB columns, can you have the link direct us to the "printer friendly" versions, so that the Globe will make a little less advertising money off his "work"? I hate to think we're contributing to the wrong side of the cause.<BR/>2) It's not that hard to see which IP addresses your hits are coming from when you write a blog. You ought to check to see how many of your hits are coming from the Globe offices, and let us know.

I decided it was a waste of time; all my venting and what I thought were pretty good attempts at analyzing what was wrong with his work were all for naught as he either missed my point entirely or just decided to fire back an insult. I got tired of it. Some sportswriters will actually give you thoughtful responses. He can't even bother to use correct capitalization or punctuation.
