Streaks: Has the whole world lost its collective mind?

By , 07:20 PM

This is the headline and a snippet from an MLB article on the Tigers page from yesterday:
Tigers waiting for Cabrera to bust out

DETROIT—The Tigers’ new $153.3 million man has not lived up to expectations. But that’s not to say he won’t eventually.

Leyland apparently agrees with that sentiment.

I just looked at my current player database as of a few days ago, and Cabrera had a +33 per 150 park-neutral lwts.  What the hell are they talking about?

"Think of this place as something like a college classroom. We’re in charge, we pick the topics, we set the rules, and we try to foster as much intelligent discourse as possible. If this isn't your cup of tea, there are plenty of other sites out there for you to try—we're not going to be for everybody, and we're not going to try to appeal to the masses." —USSM
