You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat. - Albert Einstein

The (sad) stat questions become

Will Soto actualy hit the Mendoza line before the end of the season? Will Milles drop below .150? Will Z produce another quality start? Sheesh.

Can you prove to me without a shadow of a doubt that you cannot play Baseball if you are high?

No, but see if you can follow this logic

Soto admits/is busted for smoking pot earlier this year.
Soto is terrible for the 2009 season.

Can you prove to me without a shadow of a doubt that he smoked last season?

if Al's roundup says something along the lines of

“well the Cubs are 3-3 on the homestand which isn’t so bad…” I think, with all due respect because he has tremendous baseball knowledge and credibility, that it will just be hard to take it seriously at any level. I mean a 3-3 homestand against the bottom of the league is terrible, and sugar-coating it is an insult to our intelligence.
