... I am sure many of you could be familiar with this story, as I have seen it floating around some media outlets and blogs this morning.

In a nutshell, Graziano had written what he believed to be the current terms of Delgado’s contract with the Mets, and Sloane sent him some interesting emails in reply disagreeing with Graziano. They were rude, ...

I always tell my clients never to type anything -- anything -- in an email that they wouldn't want to see blown up onto a 4'x6' poster board, placed on an easel, and shown to a jury. I think maybe somebody should have told that to Carlos Delgado's agent. Of course in this case the jury doesn't have 12 people on it, it has millions.

Nice research by you but then I guess that whole concept of fact finding escapes you huh? They didn’t teach that on the short bus did they?” Seriously. Not making this up. I cut-and-pasted it. Couple of thoughts here: 1. I don’t respond when readers call me names, but I’m not surprised when it happens. But this guy is an AGENT. I mean, somebody you’d expect, even if ...

With a big thanks to Shyster, I present you with this, a wonderful email-based dialogue between a writer and Carlos Delgado's agent. Priceless.

This is what I wrote: 'the Mets are paying Delgado $12 million in salary this year plus a $4 million buyout on his 2009 option'I won't hold my breath waiting for your apology." Glad I didn't.
