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."

The Race For Last Place Takes Place Here
MLB Trade Rumors has "reverse standings" up on their website which measure draft pick compensation, rather than playoff odds.
According to the numbers, the Cubs are 3.5 losses away from a top 3 draft pick!
The funny thing is Mark Kotsay, as a non-DH for the Cubs, would probably be worth 0 WAR when you consider he wouldn't get a -17.5 run fielding adjustment per 600 PA to his bottom line...
If we had only signed mark kotsay! Damn it!
