SweetSpot has settled into a format whereby they summarize every postseason game in five key moments. That's fine, but between David Schoenfield's text, they fill the page with Tweets. Quite annoying and quite useless.

Three of the tweets SweetSpot reposted yesterday:
They did it!!! They did it!!! #Royals to the World Series!!!!!@KoltenWong goes yard AGAIN. #NLCS 3 scoreless innings for Yusmeiro Petit.
Helpful.

The nerds have officially taken over the world. Just give into it. All those guys who used to sit in the back of the classroom with their black horn-rimmed classes, pocket calculators and clothes their mommies picked out?They run things now. They’re making the decisions and signing the paychecks. All those years spent cozying up to the jocks and the popular kids just wasted.The Dodgers have been undergoing an amazing transformation the past few weeks, going from a mostly old-school front office to one brimming with guys who know “analytics” and “sabermetrics,” which I think are the same thing, but I’m not taking any chances.

That Theriot thing makes me want the Giants to forfeit their 2012 WS just to take a ring away from him.

brandon mccarthy pointed out that both of theriot's rings were given to him by general managers who 'didn't play'
