I tear this Daily News moron a new one

I couldn't stand this guy at the Daily News, Thomas Hoffarth. He wrote that the Dodgers should trade Kershaw, or we will be in deep trouble, at least until the beginning of 2010. So, I just told him how i felt about him.

 

Ken from Lincoln Heights:

If you were GM, you would be fired trading someone who
1) is 21 who is suddenly the most reliable starter on the rotation
2) makes 400k instead of Halladay's 14 mil
3) knowing how fans love Kershaw's potential growth
4) also, he is 10 years younger than Halladay
5) calling his last 8 starts, unproven
6) umm did I mention he is only 21 and has less than 1.00 ERA in the past 8 starts?
You are an idiot. Go be friends with Steve Phillips, you tool.

He updated his column.
Clayton Kershaw, thanks for all the weeks you’ve put in as a member of the Dodgers. We admire your tiresome efforts to get past the sixth inning start after start after start. We appreciate the fact you’ve not used any of the shaving cream we’ve provided in the team shower facility.

But now you have a higher calling. You’ve become our sacrificial left-hander in our quest to make the city of LosAngeles temporarily misremember that the Lakers’ 2009-10 season will start in just three months.

The Toronto Blue Jays have made it known they would like to have you on their roster. We will oblige them – in turn, by taking Harry Leroy “Doc” Halladay off their payroll.

We consider this a win-win situation. We’ll win more games. You’ll win more opportunities to endorse snow tires in eastern Canada.

Grab your warmest windbreaker and we’ll see you come free agency 2014. Unless you flame out and are panhandling somewhere in the Texas Panhandle by the time you reach your 27th birthday.

Now was that so hard?

It’ll spring a leak in the Dodgers’ playoff plans if the deal isn’t done. A leak all the way to spring training, 2010.

What’s the worst thing that could happen if Kershaw shipped off, turns into a four-time Cy Young Award winner and Halladay breaks his leg in three places trying to lay down a sacrifice in his first NL at-bat?

In four years, when Kershaw is up for free agency, strike another deal with Toronto. We’ll take Kershaw back, you can have another one of our talented, unproven prospects. Like, say, James McDonald.
