baseball fans against olney.

i hate to rip on one guy repeatedly but buster you deserve it. on the eve of the new baseball season buster olney has published his preseason team rankings. here is how the reds' capsule reads (verbatim):
yes, we know eric milton has had success. but nothing happened in the spring to make us think he'll win in CINERGY FIELD.

well buster i hate to be the one to break this to you, but the reds moved out of cinergy field/riverfront stadium over two years ago. this may be of some importance to you, as you do make your career as a baseball analyst.

what is more interesting is that your point (which was weak to begin with) is lost when you say milton will struggle at the reds old park. riverfront stadium was known as a pitcher's park--home runs were few and far between. i'm sure your intention was to say that eric milton would struggle at a yard like the GABP. but that too would be incorrect; because even though it has been called a hitter's paradise, among other things, the facts show that the GABP actually slightly favors pitchers (see "unfair stigma").

i hate to keep harping on you buster, but please get your facts straight before you write anymore mindless speculation. thanks.
