I'm back! Mooooooove over!
So I took the weekend off and spent it in cow country (Lowville, N.Y.) and haven't blogged at all since Friday afternoon.
I come back, log onto TFS and see Baumbach has just posted an item with one of my all-time pet peeves!!!
The grouping of negative stats with positive stats.
In the item below this one, Jim list the active leaders in several baseball categories. You know, batting average, home runs, etc.
But he includes strikeouts, grounded into double plays and outs!!!
That drive me absolutely crazy. It also drives me crazy when people write or say so-and-so led the league in errors with 23. No, so-and-so was LAST in the league with 23.
Please, no more of this, OK? I'm serious.
Oh, and the picture above is of the giant plastic cow they have next to the Kraft Foods plant in Lowville. I saw it on Sunday -- but not from that angle.

First no more Yankee Stadium memories, now no negative stats.
What's next?
Brooks...
You forgot about no more travel nightmare stories from sport's reporters.
If he ever gets to no more "regional food stories" a la Chicken a la Norm, I'm done.
Upon further review and BTW....
The picture here is a candidate for La Monica's Photo Op blog.
There's a caption waiting to be written about a statue of a cow standing across the street and staring at a McDonald's.
