I'd probably agree with you if Ziegler hadn't used the "I'm a major leaguer" line. As far as I'm concerned he came off as a real douchebag.

I guess it's not possible that what was said and what actually made it into the article are two different things? I'm not really trying to take sides or go so far as to say Ziegler was completely in the right. I'm just saying take what "news" Yahoo provides with a grain of salt.

I'll take Yahoo Sports and Deadspin (which is where I read the article) over any other sports news organizations out there.
