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."

Jose Bautista Likes To Pull His Balls

Jose Bautista is having an all-time unexpected, unexplainable, unrealistic season much like Brady Anderson and his 50 homer campaign. Today Bautista launched his 39th and 40th homers of the season with his identical yank swing out to left field. In fact, of all the highlights i have seen of his homers this year, all of them were pulled to left field. Looking up his Hit Tracker page, Bautista has in fact hit every home run to the left of dead center field. You would think pitchers would just pitch him on the outside corner forcing him to hit the other way, but i don't have 50 years of professional baseball experience like a Lou Piniella for instance. (Too early?)
