Again an emphatic statement by an ESPN commentator and once again, at least short term it was beyond wrong.

It almost does not matter which comment other than it was extreme, and there is never accountability.

For the record 3 days ago in their seemingly always extreme “what we learned,” so and so stated the Houston Astros would overtake the Texas Rangers and win the A.L. West.

As an opinion this was fine, but the tone of it read and often always reads, as though it came down from Mt. Sinai.

Of course the Rangers, 2 and a half games ahead when the “ESPN tablets” appeared are now 5 games ahead. That is 5 for 5 against the extreme prediction with, (even up (7-0) I call a very likely (nada is definite) Tigers’ win vs the Astros today (Texas hosts the Royals starting in minutes).

The headline, author/commentator’s name and the date July 28, 2016 have been copied below.

That sign sure is not pointing toward Bristol, Connecticut the home of almost never accountable, noise/heat/bluster and rarely if ever, light ESPN.
