I think the site is hilarious when they are ragging on Joe Morgan. I was totally caught with my pants down when the one guy went off on the hit and run recently. And don't get me wrong, I wouldn't hit and run with Miggy coming to the plate either, but people don't start running around with their heads cut off if there is not an advantage in
any situation whatsoever. And the Bill James-inspired writers of our generation seem to have turned their science into a sort of religion, which is always weird to see take shape.
But if someone can put together a stat that shows that people are afraid of playing against Dany Heatley by x percent because he's the fucking Ghost Rider, I am all for it. Ha-ha! No actually, they play enough hockey games where analysis like that would probably work. I imagine two little gsdgsds on your shoulder, one in an angel's robe and the other in a tequila-soaked Avs jersey, both weighing in with their own arguments about you starting that site you describe. And then, just as you are about to give in to the angel guy's carefully considered arguments, Heatly comes out of nowhere to run him over. OK, I am officially sleep-deprived.
