Another Example Why Baseball Think Factory Rules

Baseball Think Factory, a site which I link to all the time and from where I get a very large portion of my baseball news, really made me laugh today.

Earlier today, they linked to an article from the SB Nation Blog "True Blue LA," the title of which was "Is Felix Hernandez Heading for Surgery?" The first line of the article, however, reads "....or greatness?" It was obviously a cheap trick to get people flustered and to read the article. I got a little chuckle out of it, but I was mostly annoyed at the gimmick.

Instead of being annoyed, the community over at BBTF decided to have a little fun with it. After two comments chastising True Blue LA for the trick headline, the following exchange ensued:

And so on and so forth. Just another example of why Baseball Think Factory is, hands down, the best baseball-related community on the internet. Just great stuff, all around.

This might actually continue for several hours, knowing these guys, so I will have to check back.
