For what it's worth, he does the same thing to Dan Duquette.  Yes, DD has let 
Clemens and Vaughn go, but has taken an old team with little talent and few 
prospects and built one that has made the playoffs something like three of 
the last five years.  Apparently, he does not treat the media as kindly as 
they would like.  In Shaughnessy's eyes, that makes him an incompetent.

Just treat Shaughnessy as he deserves...ignore him.
