Yes or No Would Suffice, You Can Even Nod"I would say, at this point in time, we've got some other people who probably fit better,"This is Littlefield's answer when a reporter asked him if he had any interest in Barry Bonds. How does DL still manage to give the most roundabout answer to the simplest, least PR affecting question anyone could ask in the city of Pittsburgh. Let's break it down: "I would say" - You are saying it so obviously you would say; this is redundant. "at this point in time" - The fact that the english grammar makes use of a past, present, and future tense makes this completely superfluous. "we've got some other people..." - All of this equals not interested. We'll ignore the use of the word probably which implies that he doesn't know that much about his own team So let's recap. When asked if there was interest in Barry Bonds, it took Dave Littlefield 17 words to say, "No." Links: Pirates Notebook: Bay is recovering from knee surgery posted by Rory at 7:11 PM | |
