Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

The Reality of Derek Jeter vs. Todd Jones

As I believe I've said before, one of the great things about the Detroit Tigers blogosphere is that each site has found its own niche within this giant sandbox that we play in.  (I just want the bucket and shovel!  I love the bucket and shovel.)  And one difference was illustrated this morning when The Detroit Tigers Weblog followed up on my "Why Does Gatorade Hate the Detroit Tigers" post from last week.

While I just threw this at the wall and asked "What's up with that?" Billfer took a closer look at reality and did some research on Derek Jeter-Todd Jones match-ups.    So what has actually happened in the 16 times Jeter and Jones faced each other?  And who really deserves a celebratory quench of Gatorade?  Click on over to the DTW for the answers.

I have no clue what Bilfer does for a living, but I hope it is something that requires a high level of analytical thought.  He is a number CRUNCHER!  I would take him for a stock broker, banker, or something of the sort.  I would give him my money; of course if I had any it may make this claim relevant!

wow
Pretty impressive fact checking.  I wonder if it was shot during a series between the two teams, and it was just out of convenience.
