Classic, hilarious piece. A little Monty Pythonish in that a premise not to be taken seriously is taken 'seriously', and then argued out to a 'logical' conclusion. Excellently written, and you deserve the plaudits! John A super honor, and well-deserved. Classic, hilarious piece. A little Monty Pythonish in that a premise not to be taken seriously is taken ’seriously’, and then argued out to a ‘logical’ conclusion. Excellently written, and you deserve the plaudits!

Even the various comments by random posters are funnier than say the schtick of ESPN. Sites like Baseball Think Factory and the various team-specific blogs are always good for their high snark quotient.
