Tom Haberstroh takes the idea behind our WAR graphs and applies it to NBA draft classes, charting the average EWA of the best 30 players taken from each draft class of the past ten years, organized from most to least within each class.

Evidently there was some Twitter spat between Rockets' GM Daryl Morey (@dmorey) and ESPN columnist Bill Simmons (@sportsguy33) and @tomhaberstroh decided to join the fray with data. Interesting concept.

Incontrovertible evidence that Matt Holliday hated his time in Oakland, from Athletics Nation. You can also follow the story as it unfolds. (Kidding, it won't unfold. But story streams are still sweet. Like this one that has aggregated 32 stories on the Twins-Tigers race so far.)

Info-bestrecord

Only twice in the last 14 years the team with the best regular season record won the World Series. I swear it was less.

Here is a full description of the disease. Please don't be one of the poor people that catch it. It sucks from experience.
