Now onto the other thing you said…how about an “if” President Obama gets re-elected, not “when”? Haha. His approval rate is falling, and people are losing faith in this new healthcare idea.

“Josh Gibson probably was a better hitter than Babe Ruth, and Satchel perhaps the greatest pitcher ever to play the game, but we’ll never know just how good they were because they weren’t allowed to play in the major leagues.” = Epic Fail.

Here is one for ya: If ifs and ands were pots and pans, there’d be no work for tinkers’ hands.

Did you ever think that Gibson’s and Paige’s stats may have been a bit inflated do to their watered down talent pool and/or fact that there are little to no accurate stats from the Negro leagues? I mean, from what statistical model can you extrapolate their success to MLB? Its not like you watched them in person. Should we use 80% of his fictitious stats to get an idea of how good he really was? How good is someone who “may have embellished 20 percent of what he did”?(from Edes column)?

For the record, isn’t Jackie’s “42″ retired in every ballpark enough for your guilt? Does that not remind every fan, every game about MLB’s past “institutional racism”? But I guess we could make an announcement before each game how evil Major League Baseball has been to blacks, even when they broke the color barrier down much earlier than other establishments in this country.

Will all due respect, your blog would be much better if you refrained from commenting on subjects you know little about…
