Hal McCoy is going to say byebye after this season.

我所敬愛的Hall of Famer Hal McCoy 今晚發表了一篇部落格文章"It's Time to Say Goodbye"看了以後真的很難過. He is THE BEST beat writer covering Cincinnati Reds, specially his Blog. It stinks. The economics really sucks. 加上平面報紙還沒有找到一個在網路世代下的生存之道.照就了這樣,就像Hal所說的,我不怪Dayton Daily News.真的昰大環境使然.但是報紙跟媒體最重要的資產並不是印刷廠跟建築物.而是這些專業的媒體人.真的昰令人難過.希望大老闆Castellini能夠找個方法讓Hal能夠繼續寫文章給我們.期待Hal能夠早日集結他的故事集,印刷成書,那將會是本巨作.

Ctrent was gone. Hal is going to retire soon. Cincinnati Enquirer is not doing well, the newspaper is losing money. John Fay 的工作不是很穩. Geez, only Mark Sheldon的工作是穩固的。This stinks.

It just made me sad, really sad.
