Contraction: An Opening Argument

Contraction.

I know, it’s a dirty word.  Merely saying it to some people causes their eyes to bulge and their stomachs to contract with copious amounts of acid.

But this post starts my argument for it. Anyone who has been around me for any amount of time knows that I consider the National League to be mostly quad A ball. That is to say that it is barely a step above triple A ball. I recently heard Vince Scully say that we have “watered our summer wine.” He went on to say that he thought we were trotting out 3 or 4 teams each night that are nothing more than AAA teams.
