The Race for Last Place

Thursday, September 24, 2009

That's enticing!


MLB.com writes on their homepage, "The Reds can make it four straight wins; the Pirates try to stay ahead of the Nationals in the NL standings."

I would doubt that even a Reds/Pirates fan would care to see a stat like this. "The Pirates try to stay ahead of the Nationals in the NL standings"? Are you for real? It should have just stated: "Pirates try not to fall to last place in baseball" or "The Reds are not as bad as the Bengals - Watch!"

Also seen is: "Reds aim for sweep of Bucs in MLB.TV exclusive". I wonder what the ratings for something like this is. 2.4 (people)? Let's put it this way: If that game is being watched by anyone other than a person in their parent's basement then they should be just as embarrassed at the fact that their Reds or Pirates fans to begin with...

And what about those Mets fans who have decided to hate on MLB.com during a horrible Metropolitan season?

Uh, for that, I have no comment...

And besides, my mom is calling me to come upstairs.
