I can't believe that the Dallas Observer allowed columnist Richie Witt write:

"Don't look now, but since Josh Hamilton's dumb dash for home Tuesday in Detroit, the Rangers are 1-4 and tied with the Angels atop the AL West. They start a three-game series with the Angels tonight in Arlington.

In Game 2, Colby Lewis is scheduled to start after missing his last regular turn in the rotation because -- I'm not making this up -- his wife, Jenny, was giving birth in California. To the couple's second child.

Don't have kids of my own but I raised a step-son for eight years. I know all about sacrifice and love and how great children are.

But a pitcher missing one of maybe 30 starts?"

Wow. He's a pitcher. They lose a spot in the rotation when they suffer a hangnail. You think a pitcher is going to be completely focused if he keeps thinking if his wife is in labor or the baby has popped out?

And playing the "I had a stepson for 8 years." What does that mean? Did his wife dump his ass after 8 years? Did the kid die? Was there a court order keeping him away from the kid?

If you haven't been in the delivery room when your child comes out and takes their first breathe - don't act like an expert on what the moment means. Witt really needed to understand that there are certain things you need to shut up about. If I worked in his newsroom, I would have launched a dictionary at his skull for writing something so pathetically dumb. There's a reason why people don't cry when newspaper writers get laid off because it's hard to feel pity for a blockhead like Witt (less).
