Where Bad Sports Journalism Came To Die

FJM has gone dark for the foreseeable future. Sorry folks. We may post once in a while, but it's pretty much over. You can still e-mail dak, Ken Tremendous, Junior, Matthew Murbles, or Coach.

I Love This Paragraph

I really, really don't want things to get too positive around here, but thank you, Rob Neyer, for this opening paragraph:

When you talk about players who are overpaid, there are some who want to turn the discussion into a matter of values. As if players could do better if only they had the integrity to try harder. And sure, that's very occasionally true. But nearly every player wants to play well, and if players aren't playing well, it's because they can't.

It's so obvious that this is true, but no one ever comes out and says it.

I do take issue with the fact that in this article, Neyer uses batting average as his metric of who's underperforming.

Batting average? Come on, you're nerdier than that.
