I hate it when people pilfer my work, as some hack AP photographer named Sherrie Peif has done. Haven't I established conclusively that people looking fondly at deer is my area of expertise? I at least should have been credited.
Life is so unfair.

Eye opening
I sure am glad that CNN.com bumped this column by some doofus named Roland Martin to their front page. It's not written particularly well, has no new ideas, is self-congratulatory, builds straw men, and isn't worth the pixels that display it.
Obviously I have no good reasons for determining what gets put on this crappy blog.

Completely Random Post
For some bizarre reason I had a flashback recently, of a Minnesota Twins player who had a long hitting streak to start his career, and then got hurt and had his season end early. I couldn't remember who it was, but knew it was in the past couple of years. So I went to the only place I ever go to find useless baseball statistics, baseball-reference.com.
After some looking, I found the page for Glenn Williams. Called up in June of 2005, he played thirteen games for the Twins, getting a hit in each one. Then he was hurt, and hasn't returned to the majors yet (he's playing for the Twins AAA club).
If you check out his career game log, you'll see that he is a career .425 hitter, and has a hit in every single major league game he's played. Has any baseball player ever had to fight their way through the minor league system just to get the opportunity to continue a hit streak?
Oh wait, he's Australian. That explains everything.
