Do I have a legit complaint here, or am I just being an elitist?
>> Monday
As of 7:24 p.m. Monday night, the ESPN.com poll reads:
Which is more likely to occur in their respective careers?
Barry Bonds hits 756 HRs
Albert Pujols hits 72 HRs in a season
Neither will occur
Beside the point that this is a dumb question, it doesn't even make sense. The very nature of a "more likely" question allows no more than two options. Note to ESPN.com poll writers: get rid of the third option and enroll in an English class.

Ahh, thank you for pointing that out, Nate. I was going to make that same critique but assumed that you guys are sick of my relentless bitching over espn.com poll questions. Also, I'm genuinely confused--why do they say 72 HRs? I assume they mean 74, or am I missing something? You would think that ESPN with their tremendous infatuation with Barry Bonds would know the single-season record.
Studying for my Conlaw final. Needed a yellow chair break.
You must have a legitimate complaint Nate, because "elitist" is one of the last words I'd attach to your sullied name.
For the record (because I believe it's only fair to mention though only I will care), espn.com corrected the error and it now reads "74 HRs." I guess the ESPN editorial staff was reading our blog.
