It isn't just Felger and Mazz. There is a tabloid element of the Boston media that hurts the local teams.
Doesn't Henry of the Red Sox own NESN? Well, they tweet out a lot of tabloid junk too.
And then this morning there was an ominous tweet via Silverman of the Herald that they had discovered something dastardly about Joey Cora, Red Sox manager. You dig through a couple of Herald scribes for the story (Buckley), and it turns out Cora had some argument with another Astro in the clubhouse or on the plane. Something the Houston media didn't even bother with. They tried to compare it with the Price-Eckersley incident on the plane, which they made a big deal of. That one even smacked of racism. I can imagine the resentment of players having to fly with critical media.
