after reading that crap, i decided to email him
"from: trevor caesar in castaic, calif.
jay, i just wanted to send you a quick note to let you know how entertaining your articles and segments on around the horn have been. at the beginning of spring training, i just thought you were a tool. then, the all star break came and passed. now we find ourselves in october and believe it or not, i don't think your a tool any longer. now i know your a tool.
no worries thou, i'm a tool just as much as you are and i envy that you get paid for it while i sit here at home emailing you.
oh wait, i almost forgot the white sox are in the series. that's right, i have no reason to be down about baseball or its clown columnist.
keep on writing those wonderful articles of enlightenment mariotti... keep on sacrificing logic and reason for the all-mighty dollar.
thank you kindy,
a friend on the west coast"
