Idiot Sports Commentator #1

Mike Celizic, writing for MSNBC.com, said about Robinson Cano's 2008: "[he] needed a feverish run at the end of the season to get his average up to .271." What really happened was that Cano batted .151 through April, then .297 from May till season's end. Cano's monthly batting-average breakdown starting with May: .295, .287, .327, .290, .287. So if you consider .297 "feverish" and the last five months of the season "the end," then yes, Celizic is right. Incidentally, .297 is .006 points below Cano's career average. So for everyone saying that he suddenly starting sucking last year, calm the heck down. Also, can someone read the terms and conditions and let me know if Google lets you curse on here?
