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."

Why did BJ Ryan get released?
I heard that Ryan asked for his release because his velocity was down and the sharpness of his slider was completely gone. Looking up his minor league stats, Ryan pitched 5.2 hitless innings in the minors. He did walk 5 and struck out 4, but he had hitless stuff. I think he asked for his release based on the Cubs acquiring two loogies, John Grabow and Tom Gorzelanny, as opposed to thinking he's done. At least he's thrown a baseball in the past 3 year, unlike one Mark Prior
