[USML Announce] A Pulitzer For Jeffrey?

[jhwinick at aol.com]

Brad Lee,

It appears to be your literary genius that is worthy of praise rather than my own.? The consonance in "tattooed tower of trouble" is beautiful.? Of course, it belongs to you, not me.? I don't believe I commented on Mr. Hamilton at all.? The same is true of Sherrill.? And while I did address Wood, my comments were more detailed and, not surprisingly, far more glowing.? Since you got things right for Verlander, it is clear that you bought the magazine and I thank you for that.

To Mr. Klein, I express my heartfelt disappointment that the Klein reference was once again cut.? I'm afraid that I have yet to find a way to weave you into a comment that isn't inscrutible to everyone but those on this mailing list.? In the meantime, you still have Alex P's autograph that I brought you back from Arizona a few years ago.? That will have to suffice until I try once again next year.

To Mr. Blocker, I'm sure you'll be pleased to note that they failed to replace my caricature, so its still Jaba the Hut next to my name.? More importantly, if I haven't yet said so, thank you for coming up with TOeFuKi.? Not only does it save a few keystrokes, but its fun to say.? And you must know how much it means to me that?you're willing to acknowledge my status.? Truly humbling.

And by the way, does anyone know of a spam filter that will prevent me from ever again having to read an email with the words Brad Jansen, Jessica Biel and Mrs. Hand in the same paragraph?? 

That is all.

TOeFuKi

Ricky G, I have no idea what you sent cos my firewalls always spam yer stuff but I'm breathless cos I just picked up my oh-nine edition of Fantasy Baseball Guide and I gotta say, Jeffrey, it was a choice between Maxim and your mag and all I can say is Jessica Biel is just gonna have to wait for Mrs. Hand and?who cares about? your picture when you write as pretty as you do....if the Pulitzer Prize Committee establishes an award in the non-fiction category for fantasy baseball my gawd your the first one canonized I swear....your words, your analysis, your?insight....about Josh Hamilton, Lord Jeffrey says: "No price is too high for this tattooed?tower of trouble...."???? About George Sherrill he muses, "This lefty twirler last year closed the door on those who doubted his ability to?amass saves...bid early and bid heavy."?? When it comes to Justin Verlander, he opines, "Expect a return to prominence for the Tigers and their ace." (So that's cool cos we get baseball team standings projected for us, too).....?And of course there's Brandon Wood: "Go get this guy."? It's terse, yet poignant. I laughed, I cried, I'm never going to stop reading this.

?

Next year Jeff will try writing his analysis in haiku.? I've already pre-ordered.
