He says, "Both our hitting and our fielding averages were down this year . . ."<BR><BR> Charlie Brown continues, "So you all know what we have to do next season."<BR><BR> Charlie Brown and Linus tumble in the air. Lucy shouts, "Get a new statistician!!!"<BR><BR>
You screwed up your reporting there, Charlie. Your statistics (as bad as they are) are more than likely even with every other year, so they aren’t “down this year”. When you’re scraping the bottom of the barrel, there is nowhere to go but up.
