Who cares!?!

SPORTING GOODS

Is it just me, or is there anything more pointless then these stupid drawn-out milestone watches that are plaguing sports reporting these days? Every night the top story on Sportscenter, every morning the discussion and 20/20 reports on the sports radio, lead off with Bonds not homering, A-Rod not homering, Glavine not winning. Here's some math:

Bonds hits a home run once every ~10 plate appearances (at least since age 35)
A-Rod hits at a slightly lower rate than that
Glavine for his career wins ~40% of his starts

When Bonds and A-Rod don't homer in a game (which occurs about 3/4 of games), it's not news. When Glavine doesn't win (which occurs in 60% of games), it's not news.

I can't wait til they pass these milestones so we can get back to hearing about important trades and actual pennant races.
