http://www.philly.com/dailynews/sports/200...ng_numbers.html This terrible article by Bill Conlin has been ripped to shreads by blogs all over the net, and I've found it to be amusing seeing Conlin defend himself. Here are the 3 most notable places: http://www.firejoemorgan.com/search/label/laptop%20science http://www.baseballthinkfactory.org/files/...inning_numbers/ And this site, which is a sabermetrics-based Philadelphia Phillies blog: http://crashburnalley.com/?p=47 It includes a series of e-mails between the blogger and Bill Conlin himself. I thought of this to be hilarious and a perfect example of ignorant sports journalism. You'll get a laugh out of it, too. |

![]() I think Jimmy Rollins not deserving Gold Glove, Silver Slugger, or MVP might be the one thing "saber-metricians" and "traditionalists" can reach a consensus on. |

The e-mails with the Philly blogger are the best.... |

The best part is that the blogger actually thinks Wright should have won MVP. |

Yeah, who cares about the fact that he had the 2nd best offensive season[in the NL]ert Pujols(Along with 34/39SBs), while playing good defense at 3rd base. It's all about the determination and leadership shown down the stretch.... |

I mean OMG how dumb are you that you just totally overlook Hanely. I mean what a joke. And Jimmy's ".531 Big man" SLG was beat by Hanely with a .562. This is just a joke! I cant belive that this guy gets PAID to do this. |
