Fark Jumps the Shark.
It looks like Fark.com drank the 2.0 kool-aid. The regulars piss and moan about the redesign, as should be expected; if cancer didn't already claim the title, change would be "the Big C".

I don't think the changs are that bad, they just look silly.

The NL East has soft pitching.
That's my notion of today, after watching the carnage last night in Miami, and hearing of the Rockies' 11-3 thumping of the Mets today. It isn't of that the east is missing good pitchers, it's that their bad pitchers are very, very bad. We're talking "5-7 earned runs per start" bad. Combine that with the Braves' newly found patience at the plate, and you get Braves stats like a .097 gap between average and on-base percentage. And this from a team that still swings at too many bad pitches. So, in a league where pitchers bat, the Braves have a TEAM On-base percentage of .347, an average pass through the lineup will put three batters on base.

Great stuff, right? That performance is good for 4th in the league, but also 4th in the division. That's right: Mets with .370, Phillies with .364, Marlins with .350. That alone should set off the fire alarm.
