  1. I was j/k. There probably is a way to examine it, but it would involve work.
  2. I'd like the game were Orosco and McDowell(?) played the outfield.
  3. It's time you accepted it.
  4. son of an obviously dyslexic mother. Jeremi Chone Dwyane <---- Now that's dyslexic
  5. You owe me 1/4 of a can of soda, Yancy.
  6. I also doubt Willie would do that. He already left people (or at least Glavine) on regular rest once instead of pushing everyone back to account for the rainout.
  7. I say contract so there are enough pitchers to go around.
  8. Are you telling me that the Onion is too classy to go the "wife offers sex as a performance-based bonus" route?
  9. Edgy DC wrote: I worry that perhaps there's some Trojan Horse stealth going on here. By allowing promotion for an unimpeachable charity onto the field and equipment during game play --- ribons on the jersey last year, bats this year --- they're softening up fan resistance for Nextel logos on the field/uniforms/equipment in the near future. Or even Trojan logos for the Orioles!
  10. How about making Heilman a starter and making Maine the last guy out of the bullpen?
  11. ]I liked the "old" days when there was no discussion of easy or hard skeds because you always played the same one as all your division rivals. Still do, minus one interleague series, no?
  12. ]at least Mets fans can take solace in the knowledge that there is now somebody definitively worse than Darren Oliver on the roster, although Oliver does seem to be enjoying one of his rare good seasons in the early going. How do you take a shot at someone while admitting it's undeserved? It takes a special breed of....er, writer....to do that.
  13. I don't think I'd buy them on eBay, pink or no.
  14. I hope you don't get the chick in trouble. I can totally see the trainer's girlfriend's client's mother's husband's message board being used as an "unnamed source close to the Mets" by certain folks.
  15. Is that a joke to make fun of reporters? I think that's one of Healey's sources.
  16. How about pink uniforms? Pink bases? Pink cleats? Pink grass? Pink jockstraps?
  17. Gwreck wrote: ="Yancy Street Gang"]I think the term "fielder's choice" only applies to a batter who reaches first base. But I could be wrong on that one. See, now I think I remember. (Thanks Yancy!) You're right, a fielder's choice can only be scored if a runner advances to first base. Otherwise it's "normal" advancement on a play (without a specific "official" scoring term). And that I don't have a system for, although I think I might incorporate your idea... Incorrect. It is as I explained it. IIRC, it is pretty much anytime a fielder has choices and gets an out but someone else advanced --- although it's dependent on whether the official scorer called an error.

  19. Jose Reyes BB 2005: 27 Jose Reyes BB 2006: 14 Jose Reyes BB 2006 projected: 68.7272727272727273 Jose Reyes OBP 2005: .300 Jose Reyes OBP 2006: .330 Jose Reyes OPS 2005: .686 Jose Reyes OPS 2006: .756
  20. The opposite can be true. If, on a grounder, the fielder inexplicably threw to first, the runner is said to have advanced to first on a fielder's choice. Or on a grounder with runners on first and second, if the lead runner is gotten at third, then the runners reached first and second on fielder's choices.
  21. It should be Chead and Thrirection.
  22. I was about to add her. The one sticking out her tongue of course.

  24. Let's stop here before any former altar boys start spilling their guts about the priests.
