    sportswriting

    All of you here who think that this King Kaufman guy is any good at sports writing, go read the paper in any town with rabid sports fans, like Boston, New York, Chicago, or Cleveland (I'm sure there are others). Even the Murdoch rags like the Boston Herald and the New York Post have quality sports writing.

    With the exception of King's column, this is probably my favorite web site; Glenn Greenwald deserves Pulitzer Prizes for his work.

    The problem here is that there is no analysis of the things that matter. Injuries, relief pitching, and head-to-head rivalries are all very important in Baseball, and you won't see much of that here. What you see instead is an analysis of the announcers, the commercials and the radar guns, none of which have any bearing on the game.

    Go back and read King's column with his playoff predictions and see how silly it looks now.
