This is the time of the season when, if your team isn’t in the hunt for the pennant (fantasy team, real team, it doesn’t matter), baseball can get a little, well, boring. No close races to really care about yet, just a whole bunch of games already played and quite a few still to go, and, well, can you really blame some players for being bored with the whole thing?
Jeremy Blachman is the author of Anonymous Lawyer, a satirical novel that should make people who didn't go to law school feel good about their life choices. Read more at McSweeney's or elsewhere. He likes e-mail.
If these people are bored, we need only remind them of the pending demise of NotGraphs and the treacherous Francophile manning the gallows to raise their passions and fill them with a murderous rage. #KeepNotGraphs
I tried to do exactly that, but when asked for references of what notgraphs actually is, I made the mistake of providing them with Cistulli’s last fifty or so articles.
The reaction worsened.
