I can't stand that virtually all baseball writers have to, HAVE to write, "It's early" and "small sample size, but" in all their fucking articles now. They are so afraid that some 60000 pound cretin that doesn't fit into the seats is going to call them out that the write like scared, frightened bitches.
My take is that yes, we all fucking know that an article written on March 28th means that there is a small sample of data to pick from and that there are 1800 games left in the season for each club. We get it. It shows a lack of respect for the audience to have to write the disclaimers.
Sports writing sucks.
