Gary Cohen Jumps Into A Fight He Can't Win

Ah, Gary Cohen you should have asked me before you went and lambasted Sabermetrics during a recent New York Mets' broadcast.

Our friends at Amazin' Avenue have the details on what Cohen said, so I won't rehash it here. What I will do is say this -- it's a fight Gary never should have picked.

You can't win, and you just end up feeling more aggravated for having tried. Sometimes, you are just better off keeping your opinion to yourself.
