Glad he's sticking to baseball

ESPN's Quintong: "I've always been fascinated by the voting for the All-Star Game starters."

Meanwhile, Mauer is among the AL leaders again in hitting but sits in second in voting. He's by far the top AL catcher, but trails the top NL guys such as Brian McCann and Bengie Molina by a bit.

I stopped reading at catcher because any system that puts Mauer behind Bengie Molina is more ridiculous than a system that places Varitek ahead of Mauer.

OK I should have stopped reading there. I didn't realize he was using ESPN's 5x5 fantasy rating system to determine who the best actual players are. So now I know that fan voting for the All Star game is interesting because fans vote for their favorites as opposed to the players who are the best at a fabricated internet game that uses 5 unsophisticated stats to measure the hundreds of things that a player does on the field.

This makes me wonder: How many times can one be handed one's own ass? Or is it implied that you put your ass back on once it has been handed you, thus freeing up your hands to accept it again?

When one's ass has been handed to him/her a new ass grows in to take the first one's place.

After 8 years of finishing out of the money in WC, Sarge could probably enlighten us on how this works...
