The author is Tom Farrey. It was on ESPN's website but now I can't find it. I did a search of ESPN.com on Tom Farrey and the article was the first result but the link is broken. Try again tomorrow.

So a guy hitting .195 was teased in the clubhouse as being on "I-95."David Newhan, don't think you and your .182 are in the clear either. That too. Of course .1684 is unusual precision in describing a batting average.

Triple digit highways are not true interstates, they are bypasses. So there.

Randazzo's idiocy allowed both the Nats and the Mets to score one run that they shouldn't have. So he cancels himself out.

G-Fafif wrote: Since the other team was mentioned, last Friday Michael Kay appraised the result of the game he broacast as the Red Sox "stealing" a win. How is a win stolen? Is each Yankee game technically Yankee property unless otherwise specified? I laugh at Kay's douchebaggery as much as the next guy, actually probably more, but I think he's referring to the Sox being down by 6 in the eighth (or whatever it was). Come on you know that.

IGT 4/18/07 - Mets (Maine) at Marlins (Dontrelle)
Elster88 replied to Gwreck's topic in Archived Game Threads
The Marlins' scoreboard has, in their photo of Green standing in Times Square, Borat in the background giving the thumbs up. I'm amused. -
Is Burrell still considered better-than-average?
-
My apologies if this has already been brought up today (4/12)
-
Does Wright think too much when he throws the ball in the ninth? Does Wagner frighten anyone else besides me?
-
Oi. That high fly with a man on in the ninth made my heart skip.

Johnny Dickshot wrote: You're acknowledging Heilman may be injured and saying the fact that a 22 year old with 100mph stuff already in the organization taking a similar role or at least stepping up is a 200-1 shot?No that's not what I said. I didn't say any of those things were a 200-1 shot (FYI the oddsmaking was rhetoric), I said "the chance of him being used in the type of spot he was yesterday in a stretch game" is a 200-1 shot. C'mon leave the strawman at home.

I'm with Iramander on this one. The idea of trying to "see what a player can do" only works under one condition: there has to be a chance that the situation could happen again. And is there a chance in hell that Burgos will be left in to pitch to a lefty near Howard's level in a situation like yesterday's? The way Willie manages his bullpen in the postseason? Especially in a game in September or October, which people apparently think Willie used yesterday to train Burgos for? I say the odds are about 200 to 1 against. So what's the point of seeing how Burgos reacts to the situation when it'll never come up in a game that means something? (And this is buying that yesterday's game meant nothing, which I don't agree with) To me the argument that makes more sense is trying to rest the pen. (Did anyone else read that Heilman has tendonitis in his elbow?!?!)

IMHO, rogers should not be allowed to post in this thread.

Edgy DC wrote: ="Elster88"]Edgy DC wrote: ="Elster88"]Beltran threw an absolutely perfect bullet to nail that scrappy little bastard at home.I'm thinking of programming our profanity filter to just replace the word "scrappy" with "white." Why, you don't know any scrappy non-white players? Yes, I do, but it's applied journalistically almost exclusively to white players. I have a theory that many journalists (typically a white middle-aged male) think they coulda been ballplayers if only they had worked harder. So when they see a smaller dude busting his ass they patronizingly use the word scrappy because they think "If only I had worked that hard". That way they can avoid acknowledging that the smaller white dude has any athletic ability whatsoever. Of course this probably can only be true if the stereotypical middle-aged white sportswriter is more than a stereotype. For myself, I think the word scrappy is fun to say. I'm gonna have to add it to the appropriate NBF thread.
