Calls him out by name.
From today's Cubune:
Now this thing [Cubs slide into hell] has a momentum of its own, though, and the jackals are looking for some fresh meat. When Wood ripped into the Cubs for lacking fire after a 3-0 loss to the Cardinals on Monday night, he was ripping his teammates, not Baylor. That was obvious to anyone in the clubhouse.
The problem was that Sun-Times columnist Jay Mariotti wasn't there, but made the world-class leap that Wood was ripping his manager. The implication was that Wood wanted Baylor unemployed.
It would have been a nice column if it had been true.
It helps to be there, to hear a tirade in person and not surf the Internet for secondhand information. It also helps to remember real people and real careers are involved here. But when writers don't face the people they skewer, it makes life so much easier. No messiness. No uncomfortable confrontations. Just move on to the next victim.
This could get interesting...
