Apparently they're nerdier if they're more precise... and/or correct.

Decreasingly relevant as each day ticks by. It's just bizarre.

Scarborough thinks they are. In reality his pathetic attempts to be funny by pretending Silver claimed absurd precision scream "I am an innumerate slob who's scared of math".

This forced me to go to the original article to confirm that, yes, Joe did spell it "sabermatrician". So he can't do math and he can't spell. Good thing he's good looking.*

*Not intended to be a factual statement.

Don't tell Blow Hardborough, but Nate getting all 50 states right was actually a <em>failure</em> for him, according to the probabilities he cited, he really should have gotten at least some states wrong. His model doubted itself too much.

It's a sign that George Will has not been teaching Joe how to spell. Although George probably has the same attitude to <a href="http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sabermetrics" target="_blank">Bill James and co.</a> that Joe Wahborough does to Nate.

Yankees libel!

I'm guessing despite your Westward move you'd still object to my classification of your statement as also being Phillies libel, but fuckit I'm a Mets fan, so, Phillies libel!

Apparently, on a personal level, the <a href="http:\/\/chicago.cbslocal.com\/2012\/06\/13\/pierzynski-voted-most-hated-player-in-baseball\/" target="_blank">players disagree</a>.

Joe confuses me with his part-time douchebag ways. I almost hate it when he's being sensible.
