Jon Heyman is Just Plain Wrong

No overly dumb opinions or comments or biases here, just some lazy lazy fact checking:

• It was certainly interesting to learn through news reports after recent
firings that the last time the Orioles had a winning record, their manager was
Davey Johnson. And the last time the Reds had a winning record, their manager
was also Davey Johnson

Huh...now that is quite the fun fact! WHAAAAA----AIT a minute! The Reds had winning records in both '99 (96-67) and '00 (85-77), both under Jack "old old man who liked cigars" McKeon! Heyman! You waskly wabbit!

It IS true that the last time the Reds were in the playoffs was under Davey-J. Proly what he meant to say, eh?

In addition: What exactly is the world of sports journalism coming to when SI journalists are getting their information from "news reports"??? Ignoring the fact that this particular case involves information very very readily available given 10 seconds and an internet connection, aren't professional writers s'posed to have like, special sources of information? FACTUAL, first-hand sources of information? Alternate-dimension technodrome levels of access to inside-ual metaknowledge?

I probably shouldn't complain, though- at least this time Heyman remembered that Davey Johnson managed the Reds at all.
