Something about that "T" on the blue cap just puts the Superman in Vlad Guerrero

The Baseball Tonight guys--tonight's lineup: Orestes Destrade, Dave Revsen, Orel Hershiser (no promises on correct spelling)--were just raving about how "amazing" and "impressive" Vlad Guerro's just-ended 44-game hit streak versus the Rangers is. Yeah, I know; it's so absurd that it's a strain just to read.

Jerks--please shut up. It's not impressive. It's a fluke. No one should care. The Rangers play in a hitters park and have had pretty crappy pitching during Vlad's career, so that might give the streak some meaning. Beyond that, please stop trying to read into it as some special accomplishment.

Hype for traditional hitting streaks is obnoxious and meaningless enough (dig up my old post on this matter if you'd like). Let's not pile the bullshit any higher.
