Sherman rubs me the wrong way

In Joel Sherman's daily 3 Up /3 Down post in the NY Post, he poses a question to his readers about Pedro Martinez:
Do you think Pedro Martinez understands on any level that he probably has to go year by year with contracts for the rest of his career?

Is it just me or is their some angry tone to those words? He could have simply posed the question without the passive-aggressive undertone.

Pedro's contract will be almost entirely based on how he preforms this year. If he can win 13-15 games, and stay relatively healthy, he could be looking at a 2 or 3 year deal. If not, sure, he might need to go year by year, but I'm pretty sure he understands what's at stake.
