The New York sports media is myopic to the point of being laughable. For years, they've been pimping the idea of getting
Bryce Harper into pinstripes. Now, as the possibility of actually landing the free-agent-to-be has been fading,
the new idea is for Harper to play first-base for
The Evil Ones. Why? Because that's the only 'hole' that
they see in the New York line-up—since their outfield alignment is
so untouchable (since when is the soon-to-be 35-year-old
Brett Gardner such a gem?). So, of course, the reason why Harper worked out at first base during the recent Red Sox series was to hype his value in going to
The Pinstriped Posers. Since their "can't miss" first-sacker
Greg Bird has done nothing
but miss—they see Harper as the obvious choice to help them at that crucial position. To these morons,
everything revolves around their soulless concrete bunker in the Bronx. What idiots.
