My life has been way less consistent since Michael Schur & co. stopped FJM’ing.

How dimwitted would one have to be in order to partake in an activity for a full 46 days before they realized it had less value than sawing their fingers off with a cheese grater and marinating the stumps of my knuckles in salty lemon juice?

Might we therefore question your judgment on the legacy/sabermetrics statements?

I sincerely hope you don’t feel a need to stick your fingers in a flame, your tongue to an ice cold flagpole, or your male organ in a light socket.

Thanks for the HI idea – it’s spot on, as some people say.
Is it possible to call events from six years ago a “scandal” of the present day? I believe it may have been something of the kind back then, but now it’s like a WWII movie – maybe interesting and worth knowing about, but hardly a matter to get worked up about.
And the greatest “scandal” of baseball was probably the exclusion of so many for so long for reasons of race. The 1919 World Series was next.
BTW, I agree that Joe Jackson should be in the Hall of Fame. Didn’t his lifetime ban expire when he died?

I have wasted more than 1,000 hours of my life reading David Cameron’s baseball musings. That time would have been better spent sawing my fingers off with a cheese grater and marinating the stumps of my knuckles in salty lemon juice.

Geoff Baker is to analysis what Albert Pujols is to a baseball swing. Hear this, Dave: Your attacks on beat writers will be the end of your pitiful legacy, the end of Fangraphs, and the end of sabermetrics as a discipline. Take your shots now, because at the end of 2009 we’re going to find out that Derek Jeter was actually the love child of Barack Obama and Anna Nicole Smith, but the story will pale in comparison to the scandal that is A-Roid. And Jason Stark will laugh at you, you ridiculous fool of a man, you tiny man without a sense of the bigger picture, you tiny ridiculous fool of a man whose very presence in our country makes us the most unintelligent nation the world has ever known.

And Tim Lincecum possesses the most otherworldly young arm that has ever, or will ever, throw a pitch in the major leagues.

This article is deplorable. This is some of the worst writing in the history of written word. Your effort is lacking c’mon throw it down big man.

It would be nearly impossible to study the affect of PEDs on baseball performance and reach a valid conclusion, and beyond impossible to “prove” drugs had an impact on the game. There are too many confounding variables and unknowns in previous data, and a controlled experiment would be unethical.

Has there been a study on the affect of PEDs/steroids in the game? I would’ve thought that with all the hue and cry from the public, someone would put together a study proving or disproving the impact the drugs have on the game.
