    I do not condone bullying but I do know what turns Mr. hand into Mr. fist.

    This is what it comes down to. Why would anyone in the Astros locker room give her any quote outside of the usual baseball platitudes. They'll all go to the Crash Davis School of Dealing with the Media. "You win some, you lose some." She's not going to be able to effectively do her job because these tweets will get around fast. The funny thing is, probably the only person who won't take it personally and will still smile and give her an interview is Jose Altuve...because he's a great person.

    Giving some **** is fine but they are trying to get her fired and harassing her online.

    We're giving Chron free publicity. Maybe this was their plan all along,

    It was a terrible shortsighted hire and conflict of interest Radricky. I understand not hiring a total homer but I would imagine the players appreciation for fair non biased judgment. She's an indignant twat, no way in hell she should expect acceptance.

    The Chron should be getting the abuse for making a terrible hire.

    Nobody needs to like or follow her but taking this job should not trigger any hate that the original tweet didn't.

    My problem is with the original take and tweet

    "Altuve doesn't deserve any respect."

    Let's hope the players and organization simply ignore her and she needs to figure out how to do her job without them.

    Chronicle willingly kept Evan Drellich and Chandler Rome. Just saying.

    Exactly... lack of journalistic standards. This is like hiring Jomboy.

    This is BS. They are the same even if they are legally separated for business/tax purposes. Click on the Chron.com About Us and it says:

    Click on the HoustonChronicle.com About Us link and it takes you to the exact same page as the Chron.com.

    In her Twitter profile, Lerner works for Chron but has a Chronicle email address.

    People still read the Chronicle? More importantly, Chronicle is still around?

    What's next? Space city network to hire Jomboy.

    I wouldn't take the job if disliked the players/ organization so much.
    Everyone has a price

    Calling her out and the company that hired her out i support completely. Trying to get her fired/boycotting the company i support completely. Harassing her is not ok in any way. Ultimately to get respect you have to give respect, when you act like an ignorant clown you will be treated like one.
