"They're Due"
This is one of my most hated phrases to hear come out of an announcer's mouth. The thing I hate the most is when announcers keep saying it after batters continue to not get hits/HRs/whatever. That's how this "dueness" is perpetuated. People hear announcers say it and say it and eventually they are right.
Argh!
Argh!

We used to calculate "dueness factor" in drinking games in college. Good player who hit 5-6 rims in a row in Beiruit (beer pong), his dueness factor is through the roof.
