Where Bad Sports Journalism Comes To Die

FJM is a closed forum, but we welcome reader feedback. We're especially interested in corrections of our work, and research (usually number-crunching) that we may not be able to do ourselves. Please check the comments section as well, where we often post readers' opinions, and, less frequently, announce that we were wrong about something. You can e-mail dak, Ken Tremendous, Junior, Matthew Murbles, or Coach individually.

Live-Blogging Rick Sutcliffe

FJM founding member Murbles just moved to Los Angeles. I'm currently watching the Braves-Sox game with him. Here's what just happened:

(Scott Thorman doubles, leading off the inning. Braves pitcher Chuck James bunts him over to third.)

Rick Sutcliffe: See, that is Bobby Cox baseball right there.

Murbles: (instantly) Having the pitcher bunt? Really? Bobby Cox invented that?

Welcome to LA, Murbles.

Comments:

I believe Sutcliffe just said that Brian McCann won the "silver bat" award.

Techincally accurate, in that he was presented with an award in the shape of a silver bat.

But, also, wrong.

I wish the glittery seductiveness of L.A.'s coolly rational sabermetric analysis industry would stop stealing all my colleagues.
