"Wow, did the math nerds make fun of you a lot when you were growing up, Chuck?"

No, Michael.

Sh*t doesn't roll uphill.

Before "Moneyball" glorified the numbers-loving Oakland Athletics and lionized their general manager, Billy Beane -- to be played by Brad Pitt in the movie version of the book, at your multiplex this September -- Sweet sassy molassey, it's not a joke! (No, I don't get out much.)

I was "surprised" to read in the article that Mr. McCracken lives in the same town as I do.

My neighbor owns the cleaning company that takes care of the stadium and the grounds after events, including spring training games.

If Mr. McCracken believes he should be associated with baseball, maybe he can get a job cleaning toilets or sweeping up hot dog wrappers.

He's not qualified to do anything else.

Which the Red Sox apparently found out.
