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.

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