No One Wants To Look Stupid
This morning alarm bells went off in my head reading Brian T. Smith's column on how Carlos Gomez knows that he's largely been a disappointment as an Astro. The alarm bells came in how Smith directly quoted Gomez. I ignored those alarm bells much in the same way I ignore my actual alarm clock for the first 30 seconds, resulting in a daily punch from my wife to turn it off.
I instead decided to zoom in - a little, it was just a links post, after all - on Gomez's line about how the fans are booing because they can't actually play the game of baseball. He's correct, of course. If you put me in an Astros uniform and made me play, I'd have a -100 OPS+ quicker than you can say "Jack Daniel."
