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."

Joe Mauer is more popular than God
Story from the Minnesota Star Tribune reports that the city of Minnesota is planning on placing 50 statues of Joe Mauer all across downtown. Each statue has a worth of $13,000. Do all 50 have to be of Mauer? How about spreading the wealth and putting up a Morneau, Liriano, or Span statue every couple blocks? Maybe honor the history with a Puckett, Killebrew, or Santana Cy Young memorial? But no, all 50 have to be Joe Mauer. I hope Joe Mauer likes seeing himself everywhere he goes cause thats what he's gonna get. Maybe he had it written into his contract?
