“A Game of Inches”

I was watching an Atlanta Braves game earlier and the announcers couldn't stop stating that baseball is a game of inches. "That just goes to show you that baseball is a game of inches. Just imagine if Ramirez came up with the ball cleanly. He could have turned a double play and the inning would be over. But no, it's now 3-1 after that homer by the Dodgers." They said this time and time again. I can't stand this saying when it comes to sports, because guess what? When one looks at it, ALL sports are games of inches! In football, when Buffalo lost to the New York Giants in the Super Bowl on the missed field goal by Scott Norwood, I just can't imagine some people saying that, "This goes to show you. Football is a game of inches!" That goes for all the Florida State losses to rival Miami, as well. I'm sure in basketball, when one is close to blocking a shot, but instead fouls the shooter, that saying is never mentioned. It can pertain to ALL sports...
