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."

Cubs Raise Ticket Prices Again
The Chicago Cubs have raised ticket prices again. Here our country is in a recession, baseball claims that revenue is down and the game is being affected, and then they raise ticket prices. I understand the Cubs aren't affected like other markets. People are still going to the games and buying a lot on appeal and concessions. The Cubs still have a huge wait for season tickets, and still will even with raising ticket prices, but it is still wrong. Tom Ricketts said when he took over that they would make going to Cubs games at Wrigley field affordable for everyone and family's. They only raised ticket prices by an average of $4.82 for next season, but that still adds up considering ticket were already expensive. Only is Obama could put a cap on raising ticket prices for sporting events!
