That dog don't hunt even if it should. The way it usually works is to wait 'em out until they die off, to be replaced by the next generation. It'll take a while with writers because they work considerably longer than the athletes they cover. They're still on the active roster when they pass away.

I suppose this idea might sound a little morbid, but isn't the truth always a defense?

When a player comes up to bat now, his OPS is often shown on the screen. Rob Neyer said he'd believe it when he saw it. It nonetheless happened.

What's the point in arguing if you don't think anybody will ever listen?
