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."

A Diamond for the Cubs?

Larry Rothschild has a new project in the form of Thomas Diamond. The Cubs claimed Thomas Diamond off of waivers the other day from the Texas Rangers. He is coming off Tommy John surgery and the Rangers ran out of patience with him. Lets hope the Cubs can be beneficiary of this. Diamond was the 10th overall pick in the 2004 draft by the Texas Rangers. Some big name players that were drafted ahead of him in the first round were Justin Verlander (2nd pick), Jeremy Sowers (6th pick), and players drafted after him were Jered Weaver (12th pick), Billy Butler (14th pick), Stephen Drew (15th pick), Joshua Fields (18th pick), and Philip Hughes (23rd pick). A few years ago he was one of the top pitching prospects for the Rangers with John Danks and Edinson Volquez. He will be added to the 40 man roster and have from now until spring training to rehab and works some things out. Hopefully he will be able to make the club and contribute next season.
