He needs to stick with the one source that got him the original scoop. Lay low until that source has something for you.soxhop411 said:same....

Because he's a kid who got carried away and fucked up in full view of the public. Valuable lesson yes, probably, but worthy of a little compassion.Hoplite said:
Why, exactly? There's zero evidence that he's posted an original story which turned out to be true. But he's had no problem taking credit for being the first to report what other twitter accounts have posted. This is a valuable fucking lesson.
Didn't he have the Hanley story first?Hoplite said:

It's not clear he ever had one. Most of his stuff appeared to be obsessively trolling twitter then reposting stuff without attribution and saying his source told him.4-6-3 said:He needs to stick with the one source that got him the original scoop. Lay low until that source has something for you.

It was his "OTHER SOURCE" so his "source" within the sox is safeE5 Yaz said:
Rosenthal this morning tried to address this type of thing on the MLB network. Kids were probably in school, though.

Doesn't sound like it was a legit source to begin with so the bus backing up on him probably doesn't matter.E5 Yaz said:

He's also a 14 year old that was having fun on twitter when big names started RTing him and contacting him and putting him on the radio. And the end of the day he didn't hurt anyone, and it feels like grown men are laughing at the kid because GET OFF MY LAWN.
