I'm Going To Come Out And Say What Everyone Is Thinking... If You Play Immaculate Grid, You Cheat At It. Just Come Out And Admit It!

I'm going to say what we're all thinking. A lot of people are silent on it and letting it go but I just can't anymore, I can't sit back and watch people lie. If you play any of the Immaculate Grid games, you cheat. Plain and simple. And listen, that is okay! No one is judging you! Just come out and say it. I've cheated while playing so that I don't look like an idiot when I show my friends, and you have cheated too. Everyone is doing it and if you say you've never peeked at Google or Baseball Reference you are lying. 

I tweeted my feelings and thoughts on this yesterday and got some pushback, but people have to realize it's okay if you're googling to see if John Gelnar played for the Brewers and the Pirates. I am fully convinced that if you play any of these games you cheat at them. I'm not saying every single one you cheat on, no one needs help with knowing who played for the Red Sox and Yankees, or the Pirates and Astros. Ones like this are easy. It's blatantly obvious when some 22 year-old on Twitter posts his MLB grid and it has a guy with a rarity score of 0.4% that he just pulled out of his ass. 

These people can deny all they want, but I truly believe they're taking a peek on Twitter and maybe they see Frank the Tank post his grid without a warning or spoiler alert. Maybe you scroll by it slow to see who had 300 saves and was a Ray. Maybe you do forget that Jason Isringhausen played for Tampa and just wanted to slip him in there. I'm tired of seeing people post theirs and say "another immaculate one!" and it's some dude who played 85 years ago that no one has ever heard of. You're clearly living on google and Baseball Reference. It's not a contest, no one is going to care if you had to look and see if Bo Bichette has had a 200 hit season for Toronto (he hasn't). No one cares at all, so just come out and admit it. I'm not shaming anyone, but just know that we all know if you're sitting in your cube and trying to get the immaculate grid for today, we know you're taking a peek at a screen somewhere. I'm not here to judge, stones and people who live in glass houses, you get it. But I just need people to get off their high horse and admit it. 

These are great games that are fun to play and shoot off your answers on Twitter or your group chats to see who can come up with the best answers and lowest rarity score. Everyone wants to be so rare, they want it so bad they will use Google to see if they are right about if Bob Turley played for the Yankees and St. Louis Browns. We all know you have no clue who that is, you don't have to say "Oh yeah it just came to me!". No it didn't! Just admit you cheat at the game and keep it moving. It's like saying you don't pee in pools. We see the dye on your bathing suit, we know what happened. No one cares! Cheat, get your perfect score and keep it moving folks! You can lie to yourself and all of us and say you've never looked at google to see if X player played for Y and Z, but we all know the truth. 

PS. Check out the Daily Dozen that Jeff D. Lowe tweeted out this week. It's incredible, and guess what...people are going to cheat at that too!
