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."

Ryan Howard Breaks World Series record

The other day I reported that Ryan Howard had 12 strikeouts in the World Series to tie the record for most strikeouts in the fall classic. He was tied with Willie Wilson of Kansas City whom in the 1980 World Series struck out 12 times. Yesterday in game 6 of the World Series he struck out again to strike out for a whopping 13 times in a 6 game World Series. This is impressive to strikeout for over half his at-bats in the World Series because he only has 23 at-bats. Ryan Howard had a terrible World Series overall batting .174 with 1 homerun, 2 doubles, 3 RBI’s, 4 hits, and 2 walks. The 13 Strikeouts is what he will be remembered for though going into the record books. He did strikeout for a 186 times during the regular season.
