    Either way, get rid of the DH.

Just when I think his parents are going to intervene they start chanting and throwing peanuts too!!!!. This was the most classless family I've ever encountered. You know, ever since I've read this, I've been angry. It makes me want to call the Red Sox and file a complaint. Not only is it fucking obnoxious to do that, peanut allergies are deadly serious. If I was there, I would have not only called security, I would have been very, very tempted to press criminal charges against the little piece of crap and his family. I'm literally still shaking. Infuriating. Makes me want to kick the parents in the fucking teeth. *applause*

    Were they all swing-and-misses?

    Ha-yuge drop off after Pedro.

My point of course is that in-season matchups aren't very predictive of what would happen in a post-season matchup. At least on a small scale. Eh, let them talk trash (for now). They've earned it. And it's hard to argue with the Interleague record this year.

    Wanted to go LoDuca, but went Glavine.

    For crying out loud, how many times did Reyes get 4 hits?
  10. Elster88
    Has Beltran hit a cutoff man even once this year?

    Just opened up an account. It wouldn't let me read all the fora unless I was logged in.

    Eight hours 'till the polls close.

    They'll probably get confused and start booing ARod.
  14. Elster88
    I woulda gone with Welcome Back Kapler.

    Which makes sense. That's our leadoff guy and our MVP. Combine that with the recent weaker starting pitching, and it makes sense that we've been a .500 team over the past two weeks or so.

    I think you're kidding around...but isn't he a Red Sock fan?

    Edit: Never mind.

    This thread gives me agita.

    ="Edgy DC"]="Elster88"]To me, the stat should mean that your team has a good chance to win the majority of games based on the innings pitched and runs given up by the starter. 7 IP 4 ER doesn't qualify in my book, no matter when the runs were given up or when the manager decided to give the starter the hook. Well, according to Dickshot (though I don't know his source), they do win 67% of the time. I pretty much just chose numbers that "sound good" when I came up with my list of what "should" qualify for a QS. Not very scientific. I'm rethinking it after reading that Diamond Mind article.

    I like that article.
