List of Terms I Don't Like

• Closer: Closers are unnecessary. Look at the pre-closer era. Unless you have a guy like Hoffman or Nen, bullpen by committee works much better.
• Juiced: Everyone was juiced. The term has no meaning.
• Stathead: Statistics are the salvation of baseball. I say that with a straight face.
• Steroid era: They still use steroids in baseball. In half a century, this will all be forgotten.
• Tainted: If Barry Bonds' records are tainted, what about those of Ruth and Cobb? They played in an era without some of the best players in the game—blacks. If that's not tainted, what is?
