The Adventures of Grandpa Sports and The Bird Whisperer - Episode 99

In today's episode, The Bird Whisperer tells us:
DON'T PRINT THAT
Twins catcher Joe Mauer probably could hit 30 home runs a season with a minor swing adjustment, but that also could result in 100 strikeouts a season.

Remember Patrick Reusse's column last week, Who'll gather news when Internet is all that there is? The last paragrapgh of the column read, "A doesn't-cost-a-nickel, stand-alone Internet site is not going to have the quality of resources the Star Tribune has mustered for a rich sports section that lands on a doorstep." The last time we checked the Pioneer Press is an example of one of those institutions that Reusse spouted as having greater access to a "quaility of resources" than a stand-alone Internet site. Yet with all that access and resources, readers are still consistently exposed to these types of ridiculous, often ficticious statements from the local fishwraps (we are not forgetting Grandpa Sports, St. Paul). We'd be willing to admit that we agree with 99% of your argument, Mr. Reusse, if you'd be willing to agree that just because you have greater access and resources that doesn't make your work necessarily any better than a "doesn't-cost-a-nickel, stand-alone Internet site."
