Found it amusing to see a blast on Bondy float onto my Twitter feed from our friends at Deadspin. Quite the unfortunate comment from our reporter friend, wonder if anyone took Deadspins invite to barrage him with emails over it. deadspin.com/5554662/Thurman Munson Was Lucky To Die Young, Says WriterOkay, so maybe Munson's death in a 1979 plane was one of the more horrible tragedies in sports. But at least he never had to DH!
Today's taste-stretching column comes courtesy of the New York Daily News's Filip Bondy. Everyone, say hi to Filip — that's him, on his way out of the yard.
In an otherwise innocuous piece on Jorge Posada transitioning to designated hitter, Bondy makes an aside about the supposed affront that DHing represents to a once-skilled fielder.
The DH may forever represent an unwanted demotion for older sluggers - Matsui, too, felt that way - but it is the fate of almost everyone, if they're good enough to hang around. Thurman Munson was spared this indignity, in tragic fashion, dying at age 32.
So, to recap. Matsui, who's made eight figures a year since he became a fulltime DH: dishonored. Munson, who left behind a wife and three young children: got off easy.
If you'd like to dispute this point with Bondy, he helpfully posts his Netscape email address at the end of each column.

I hate Bondy, he's a pompous asshole, guess that's why he writes for the newspaper. The guy should be ripped for his one sided, biased journalism. The guy doesn't call it like it is, he calls it the way he feels. Which is bush league reporting. The guy isn't good enough to write for the minors, so I take that back, he just sucks. A talentless hack.
I don't care how he feels about something, report it the way it is. Just because you like serve and volley rather than a power baseline attack doesn't mean it's less deserving of a win. That's cool if he wants to say it's not his favorite type of play or whatever half though out idea he has in that rat sized brain of his, but don't take something away from somebody because it isn't the type of play he likes. Makes me fucking mad writing about it.
I hope the guy loses his job and has to write for an Omaha newspaper.

When he goes over to London to cover Wimbledon he's reporting what happened to him while there. That's what I'm referring to. I don't read his baseball columns due to the fact that unlike him, I know the fucking game of baseball. Bondy doesn't know his asshole from his elbow when it comes to sports.

LOL Are you fucking with me? He fucking writes Haiku's? OK I take it back, he fucking rules. YUCK!!!! What kind of self satisfying, full of himself, douchy facial hair wearing, 2 bit sports writer does that? What a joke.
I know Bondy sits at home writing that shit thinking someone cares about him, he actually thinks he has fans waiting to read his latest awe inspiring life changing haiku's. That makes me so happy. Why do these people think so highly of themselves like they make a difference to anyone? I promise you he reads his haiku's to his family and he doesn't make a difference to them either. Fuck I want him to get into an accident where he can never write again. He;s the reason I switched to Newsday, fucking moron.

With all due respect Chris you could have stopped right after haiku. Stating they suck is just stating the obvious as the man has no talent. Of course they suck as he himself sucks. How could they be good coming from him? I'm thinking of doing my own just to rip this dickhead some more.
