This is what passes for "intelligent" baseball commentary

At Sons of Sam Horn. Do a little research, guys. How about reading Bill James or Baseball Prospectus? The stuff is available online. It's not hard. Strong lineup protection, like most "common-sense" baseball lore, is a myth. It's not even really controversial, if you look at the data. SOSH members pride themselves on the quality of the discussions that go on at the site...I'd hate to see what they consider low quality!

At first I thought sports were great because they gave me something that I could talk about with almost anyone...then I realized that almost everyone who likes sports knows nothing about them and thinks he knows everything...sigh.
