Now is a very good time to be a seamhead. Ever since the publication of Moneyball, even the most casual fan has known that there's truth in them there advanced baseball statistics. Billy Beane's teams, and then Theo Epstein's Red Sox, backed up theory with results. By this point, the movement has transformed itself from an esoteric experiment to a haven for clear, sane thinking about baseball. Going after sacred cows, debunking myths, calling bullshit on the folkways of the game with the truth on their side, sabermetricians have earned the right to drop all pretenses and laugh at the losers. Witness the blog Fire Joe Morgan, where the message of baseball's new, rational path is delivered via jabs and jeers at the ignorant media. You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows, but knowing does grant you a lifetime right to sarcasm.
