Lacrosse players constantly talk about how sick their “flow” is. While I’ll resist the temptation to make fun of lacrosse for the fact that no one outside of the East Coast has ever seen a lacrosse game/match/event/whatever it’s called and the fact that Alex Rodriguez makes twice as much per plate appearance as the average pro lacrosse player makes in a season, I cannot resist the temptation to show how misguided their “sick flow” claim is. In reality, lacrosse “flow” is nothing special and like almost every other aspect of their game, is inferior to baseball. As evidence, I present to you the 2011 “Golden Combs”, the best hair MLB bullpens have to offer:
