This blog idea has been percolating within my cerebrum for a couple of years. With the cooperation of my partner, it has finally become a reality. The site will serve a couple of functions. First, it will attempt rational explanations for a lot of junk written by the omniscient and omnipresent mainstream media. We believe in Corsi and PDO numbers, OBP and BABIP, even strength save percentage and shooting percentage. We absolutely don’t believe in gripping the sticks too tightly and youthful enthusiasm, pitching wins and RBI’s, or that clutch and truculence are tangible skills. If you’re a retar… excuse me… believer in the latter list, we encourage you to read and learn about our views. Just don’t try to convince me that Jordan Eberle is clutch.
Secondly, I don’t recommend visiting this blog if you’re a fan of Toronto or central Canada in general. There will be some pretty critical stuff of the region, its sports teams, and especially its place in Canadian sports. The authors of this site are from western Canada – we don’t care about central Canada and have grown to loathe the disproportionate media coverage the region receives, the shocking stupidity of said disproportionate media coverage, and the holier than thou attitude that radiates from there.
Yes, after reading one too many Damien Cox articles, after hearing one too many Steve Simmons ideas, after listening to one too many Don Cherry tirades, after digesting one too many Brian Burke press conferences about nonsense like “truculence,” we’ve finally snapped.

Please read, comment (though that Eberle threat is very, very real), and enjoy. We have no idea how long we plan to do this for. But so long as there are still ninnies out there like this guy saying Tom Gilbert’s contract is an albatross, we should have plenty of material to keep us busy.
