you've never worked fast food, have you? people act like boors (not boo-ers) when they're buying 99c chicken mcnuggets, too. sometimes moreso. also, this does nothing to move me off my position that you shouldn't treat people like crap by doing things such as booing. if you're getting publicly humiliated by your boss or paying customers, i'm sorry. it doesn't mean you should publicly humiliate others, regardless how well they are getting paid.

there were plenty of mets fans on that road trip, they had all paid a similar expense, some even travelled, and none of them booed.
-
i think my point is not wether it does or doesn't, but that it shouldn't. at the very least not in this circumstance. another interesting dialogue would wether it always has or hasn't always. i think that lately, nymr would be right. poor performances get unilaterally booed. problem is, lately, meaning the last few years, the mets have largely sucked, and may have been more deserving of boos. until this year, wherein they do not suck. and it seems to me that having the best record in baseball should quiet the boo birds on the occasion of the first bad inning following a tremendously successful road trip.

one bad inning while the team is playing 0.800 ball. BOO!!! c'mon... with that, boo if you want. i'll still think it's stupid.
-
i don't like it, and i don't pitch for a living. it makes met fans appear to be comprised of a bunch of turn-coat jerome-from-manhattans. i mean, is heilman really deserving of new whipping boy status?

Schaefer POTG: 06/15/06 - Mets 5, Phillies 4

any chance of this waiting till monday? i've left my formulaic spreadsheet at work... -
i was disgusted at how much booing i was hearing as heilman walked off the field. we just won 8 straight, and those idiots boo at the first sign of struggle? get the hell out of my stadium!
-
easiest math is to do the team-by-team, and average. or pick the median, for even quicker math. sure, it'll be off by a point or two, but not enough to throw off a perception, i don't think.
-
no wonder i screwed up the triple happiness. interestingly enough, i wasn't wearing my contacts at the time. spooky!
-
sorry kind sirs.
-
what... we're so good all of a sudden we no longer keep track of these things? sheesh. met fans. no wonder i hate 'em!

in 14 at bats with the bases empty, pedro has but one hit and 5 K's in 14 at bats with runners on, he has two hits, but 6 K's, and also a bb he is, therefore, more than twice as productive with runners on, than with a duckless pond. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/splits?statsId=4875&type=batting&year=2006

well, right now, i'm not really giving out bonus or demerit points, unless there's something that really jumps out at me. and i think i distracted myself away from that catch... regardless, since he wasn't in the top six point-getters, he does not make it into the vote-allocating process. as you can see, he recieved only three points in the game. for him to have made it into the voting, he would have had to at least surpass el duque's 5.40 points, and likely would have had to pass feliciano's 5.50 to get any votes. (i normally give the top point-getter a bonus vote for being player of the game, but since there were so many nearly equal contributers, and cos i felt like el duque deserved a vote, i took a vote from oliver and gave it to ducky.)
-
i know. i'm a loser.

unfortunately, i wasn't thinking too much about future upgradeability in building my own spreadsheet. right now, it would be a mother to actually extract how the scoring is doled out in given games, who's gotten screwed the most by my scoring method, who's benefitted most from my rounding up, and who's had the most negative contribution to the season. next season, i'll prolly build a better spreadsheet. unfortunately, yancy, the data you have on that page is merely a subset of the data i input in my spreadsheet. i also take inherited runners, gidps, fielding thingies, and severity of saves/holds, and prolly something else that i'm forgetting about. i should also add in a bonus and demerit column, just for instances like last night when milledge slowed himself into an out at the plate, or for wright's outstanding DP. but that's for next year.

tedious... you think THIS, or THIS is tedious? phooey! (if those links work, they show off my uberspreadsheet, with all the weightings, and most of the math built in for a 162 game season. unfortunately, i've no way to automate the whole process, so inputting all the info from the box scores, and then doing the actual point assignments etc takes some grunt work. i think if i ever learn MS Access, i'd be able to do everything i could possibly want to in a schaeffer-voting spreadsheet.)

interesting... for a team leading the league in ERA, and third in runs scored, you've got 57% of the points going to the hitters. as, i think, does the overall voting. (i did the math earlier, but forget the numbers). i also question wether or not pedro or glavine should be higher. i think i've got only about a 52-48 split going to the hitters myself. my points leaders are pedro in 3rd place, with 58 points, and glavine and beltran tied just ahead of him with 59 points. its not that i'm trying to balance things, its just hte way things worked out, really. but it seems to me to make a tad more sense than for pedro and glavine to be only the 4th and 5th top-rated mets... and if you want pathetic, i'll figure a way to post the THREE-PLUS MEGABYTE excel spreadsheet that i'm using to tally my voting per game, and for the season.

i'm a former bandwagonjumperonner. it just so happens it was 1985 and i was 8. and i dont think htere's a single one of those questions i would've gotten entirely right without researching. i prolly could've happened upon the 400-homer club with enough thought, but wasn't thinking of kong, for some reason. my best showing was in the clemens question, but i wouldn't've been able to name the college. i guess i'm just not good enough for this elitist club of yours, you damned cranepoolers... edit: and i LOVE the pic of pedro with the crown.
