Sports: A Game Of Inches

We are four humble men who love sports, but hate sports commentary. Peter Gammons is our hero and John Madden is our enemy. If you were to ask us our purpose, our answer would be simple: "We are forever locked in Mortal Kombat for the souls of sports fans everywhere. Statistics are our science and 'the immeasurable character of men' is the obsolete religion of blind faith. Our job is to prove that God doesn't exist and that athletes are merely cold, metal machines with no hearts or souls."

Harden Batting from the Left side

In Friday’s game Rich Harden was facing left hander Cliff Lee. I noticed that Rich Harden is a left handed hitter. I knew that he batted from the left side, but assumed he was a switch hitter like Zambrano. I dislike pitcher’s who are switch hitters and expose their pitching elbow, but how did a right handed pitcher start batting from the left side? He isn’t a good hitter from the left side, so maybe he should try from the right side?
