LOL, MFS, try reading the caption next time.
-
Jacobs is cumulatively above Looper and Matsui.
-
McGwire batting 6th in that game? Wow.
-
What's the history of players being ejected in WS games? What about other playoff games?
-
That's exactly what I think. You'd think a bench clearing brawl would be automatic after someone throws a bat, but the shock factor probably slowed everyone's reactions. Odds of bench clearing brawls are probably lowered in WS games, too.

I'll never forget Piazza's (lack of) reaction. All of a sudden seeing the bat pass in front of him must have been a shock at him. I always figured the ump was in front of him before it finally sunk in: "That moron actually just threw the bat at me?!" I would've preferred he did what my buddy Lou said he would've done if it was him. "I woulda taken the end of the bat still in my hand and rammed it down Clemens' throat."

The "right to boo" issue is one I try to stay out of, but booing is pure stupidity to me for one reason: It will not make a player better. And he knows he fucked up, so booing does not enlighten him either. _______________________ This post had the designation 92) Dave Mlicki

That's a beautiful chart KC. I'm going to steal it when I put my numbers down, if you don't mind.
-
Seo had an ERA+ of 162, Reyes had an OPS+ of 80, thats the difference between a cy young winner and a bench jockey....the extra playing time wasnt enough for me to justify reyes being higher, and i thought of putting him lower. There are many holes in this. I really have nothing to add to what Edgy and FK said, but I want to throw in my agreement with them.
-
Edgy DC wrote: Cy Young winners play more than 40% of a season. I agree with Edgy. A person who plays at a high rate for a short time doesn't really contribute more than a person who plays at an average rate for an entire season. There's no way to explain this if the student refuses to wrap his head around the concept. It's a matter of differing views on what makes up a "contribution", though IMHO it's not even an argument. FK took an excellent crack at explaining it, by putting a LOT more effort into it than I would have. Well done FK.
-
There isn't a doubt in my mind that Cairo will hit .315 for the Skankwhores this year.
-
Reyes only played in 160 games, so it makes perfect sense that Seo be ranked ahead of him.
-
Hmmmmmm. The term "asshole-boobird" is redundant, no?
-
Simmons says it all in this line: ]Last season, Damon watched from afar as some Boston fans turned on Millar, Embree, Bellhorn, Foulke and even Schilling -- five key members of the Greatest Comeback In Sports History -- and probably wondered to himself, "Wait, I'm supposed to remain loyal to them?" I don't agree with everything in that column, but that line is perfect. Every asshole-boobird who gets pissed when a free-agent player is a hypocrite of the highest order. Edit: Also this line is a good summary: ]The question remains: If you were Johnny Damon, would you have passed up $12 million to return to a team that didn't really seem to want you back? Didn't think so. He's not Anakin, he's not Judas, he's not the Reverse Earl Hickey. He's just another businessman who followed the money and never looked back. In other words, he's a professional athlete. Edit: I don't think he writes the captions, but most Star Wars references make me laugh: ]The transformation is complete. Damon will now be able to choke Red Sox fans using only his mind.
-
I can't believe a guy who writes a line like this: ]Let's start with the (dis)organization called the Boston Red Sox. Right now, the management at Fenway is so out of order they are driving the team towards 3rd place. Everyone knows that the Red Sox are run so well that they inspire fans to cross over from other teams.

If the MFYs really are exerting pressure to keep their players from competing in this thing, I hope the Mets do the same. I don't really give a crap about this thing. I'm not going to go nuts if the US wins.

I like the new bachelor icon. Very well done.

]earlier in the same post, I think, without checking How embarrassing.

Elster88 replied to a topic in New York Mets Talk
]We tried contacting Bob Klapisch to see if could provide any insight on the story, but we did not receive a response from him IMHO, this is the obvious way to get more info. Doc says he didn't write it so ask the only other guy who may have.
