kshoe Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I'm glad Ortiz is gone. He was horrible on so many levels and his take on S2 was beyond awful. It does suck though that the author of the air ambulances piece was let go. This country lacks real investigative journalism and the media has turned into little more than hot take opinion pieces from both sides of the aisle. Investigative journalism is one of the few things worth reading in most newspapers, especially the Post, anymore. To that point, I'm still waiting on Ben Fred's investigative journalism on S2. slufanskip and Schasz like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like to criticize journalists who are trying to do their job, but Ortiz was the worst I have ever seen at entrenching himself in grossly uninformed opinions and then belittling readers who disagreed based upon actual knowledge or facts. He also had so many biases and close-minded perspectives that impacted how he did his job effectively. The impression I got was that he never gained the respect of his sports colleagues for many of these reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARon Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Pretty soon the post is just going to be the editor pontificating about how great Texas is and an intern retweeting Reuters stories. rgbilliken likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billikenfan05 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Can we just once get a weekly chat with Ben Fred or Hochman? Maybe our lazy a$$ beat writer would like to do some actual work for once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlarry Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I hope he gets another job, I really do. I just hope that job is far far away. Maybe Russia is looking for a snarky columnist to cover the local Bandy team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighton Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 We all thought Yadi's injury was life threatening and had to wait until the following day to get the status of it. Cardinal fans were very sensitive to this (for good reason). He sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 He probably just did the same kind of tweet he always had. It may have been the drop that caused the glass to overflow. So, he got fired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFord and TRavs Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 I seriously can’t wait for local Missouri Slu bandwagon fans when we make a run. It will happen and I won’t be against them or call them bandwagon. They just need a winning team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I believe it will be between the end of the 2018-19 season and the beginning of the 2019-20 season that SLU will pick up its bandwagon fans.

kshoe Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Well, the last few years have shown we only have about 4-5k die-hard fans, and believe me the Crews years made us all die hard. I'll take any fans we can get at this point... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
