The Art of Reporting Like a Talentless Hack

     Andy Martino is a terrible Journalist.  No surprise here.  But over the past hour or so he has undoubtedly driven that point home to my (and hopefully your) amusement.

 First Martino tweeted this:

Fair question by Andrew, and an expected, vanilla response from Sandy.  No big deal here.

 A few minutes later, he tweeted this:

So now Andre' makes it seem as he's asking the tough, hard-hitting, follow-up question, only to get a similar, blah (to steal a Martino-ism) response.  Just because you asked him to be more specific, doesn't mean he got more specific.

So let's recap:  Martino asks Alderson if the Mets have interest in Kazmir...  Alderson says that they always have an eye on the waiver wire...  Martino follows up with a flimsy, pointless question...  Alderson has a similar, empty response.

Wow guys, this is some compelling shit, huh?  Please Andrew, tell us more of your investigative genius.

So from this exclusive, 1-on-1 interview, Martino is able to derive this:

Here's the actual link

My point:
     Will the Mets take a shot on Scott Kazmir?  Who fucking knows?  Not me, not you, sure as hell not Andy "Bitch Voice" Martino.  Maybe Sandy Alderson knows, but he gave zero information to point in either direction.  So there's no story here.  At least not yet. So stop trying to make something out of nothing, Annie Martino!  Didn't you learn your lesson yet?
