A Star is Born

Oh wow, something left in sports that can't be expressed as a statistic. No wonder you stat heads hate the term.

Are you serious? I don't like it because using compete as a noun is an abomination. I have no issue with players being described as competitive in any form that doesn't take the English language and put it through a juicer.

I agree we shouldn't quibble over language. You and I should have a non-compete clause.

Obviously not the real Walt, his vocabulary is grade school level!

Not sure if that's making fun of me, or the real Walt, but we are both very articulate.

I stand by the OP, and can't wait to see Sanchez against the Yankees. He has a star quality that jumps out, and a long, lean, easy delivery, that hits high 90s with wicked stuff. I'm saying here and now, he's a can't miss future ace.

Barring injury.

Schad is right: using compete as a noun is unlettered.
