Chalk 1 up for SI!

This was totally our doing...right?

I mean, in no way could this have happened unless we alerted positively no one to the cause by reporting it on this site, right?

Right. That's what I thought.

Keith Law chat on ESPN.com today, and it's been pretty good so far, albeit with not that much about literature. Some assholes had to get argumentative about how RBI was a great stat (it's not), and how some players are better than others at hitting with RISP (they're not; hitting w/ RISP isn't a special skill). Anyway, someone sent this in, and it was objectively awesome, and I had to throw it up here:

JM (Cincy): You make no sense. A guy who is able to concetrate in big spots will have more RBI's consistently. Guys like Eckstein and Erstad come to mind. Not great stats but come up big in the clutch.

That's just perfect; he pretty much captured 2/3rds of everything Joe Morgan has ever said about baseball in four sentences. Unless, of course, this is actually Joe Morgan, but I can't imagine him reading KLAW chats. JoeChats are going to be pretty saddening next season.
