This should drive the two goofballs crazy
Matt Kemp being compared to Willie Mays by the Milwaukee announcer as he makes a great catch running backward from infield with two men on for the last out of the game. Oh yeah, he also hit a grand slam in the top half of the inning, his third of the year.

3. Yeah, that is embarrassing
that ESPN doesn't know how to spell Jonathan Sanchez' name.

4. East Coast bias confirmed
whoever put this poll up had no idea, until yesterday, who Sanchez was....hence, still not sure how to spell his name. That would never happen with any roster player on a team East of the Mississippi.

5. Good catch. No comment on the obvious East Coast bias keeping Kemp
off the list?

7. How Is A No-Hitter Considered a "Play"?
The poll question makes no sense.

9. Comprehension is not their strong suit.
It is funny how they make up a poll to suit their needs. The "poll" that cboy points out is something he/she found on the internets that you just plug in whatever data you want, and it spits out a "realistic" looking poll.

Sad, that some people need to do that.

10. Who Cares About Polls In Sports?
Seriously. That's why we play the game.

11. Nobody saw that play in most of the country
because of the prevalent East Coast bias. If they didn't see it, it doesn't exist. Quoting a YouTube comment that says it best:

"If any player from New York or Boston had made that catch, there would have been a collective orgasm from every office of Bristol, Connecticut. If Ellsbury had made a catch like that one week ago, ESPN would have shown it three times every hour, even cutting into their other shows in order to play it again, all the while talking up Ellsbury for the fan vote."

And, yes, a no-hitter is not a play. Kind of stupid to compare a no-hitter to a catch. I am reminded yet again why ESPN sucks.
