    let's see how much of the lead marquis donks off here.
  4. TruffleShuffle
    wow, we found the one guy who has worse stuff than marquis!

    if it works out for the cowboys, it's because these guys have gotten a wake-up call because they realize that one more misstep and they're out of the league. i doubt the cowboys are doing anything wonderful when it comes to giving them the correct atmosphere.

    today and probably most of his starts the rest of the year, judging by his usual second half swan dives.

    or in the case of pacman, a seventh chance.

    dammit... hope it is just stiffness and nothing else.

    OPS+ is a weird way to measure a lineup, since it's comparative measure based on position. If the Cubs were playing eight catchers today and Soto hit eighth, yes, that'd be weird. And overall, it's really not weird. His OPS is below .750 in the last two months or so. OPS+ is not adjusted for position imagine if it was though? zambrano's ops+ would be like 1000.

    marquis - good hitter for the cardinals, bad hitter for everyone else.

    i don't think geo is going to see a fastball on the inner half of the plate ever again.
  13. TruffleShuffle
    see, i told you guys edmonds could still play.

    this is no contest... he's a very good coach and lousy father.
  15. TruffleShuffle
    this scout is really looking for the right things in a ballplayer.

    i wonder how reds fans feel about dusty.

    http://northsidebaseball.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=47932&p=1733077&hilit=bailey#p1733077 yeah, from what i have heard, he has the arm to be a good pitcher, but not the mental makeup.

    my alternate team name is going to be the 26 nfl teams that have won a playoff game since the last time the cowboys did. I could name mine Five Rings gee, didn't see that coming. i'll name mine "wasting brian westbrook's good years" you could sub in donovan mcnabb's name there too.

    nice handlebar mustache

    too long for yahoo, and there's no DL in football. aside from that it's great, though not particularly creative or amusing. BITTER EAGLES FACE nah, vance's posts are funny. the best was in 2006 when he taunted me about mcnabb going down for the season in like week 11... the cowboys ended up losing 3 of their last 4, including a home game to the eagles, while the eagles got hot and won the division. the eagles made the second round of the playoffs, while tony romo couldn't hold onto the ball in seattle. karma at its finest.

    is it too early to declare homer bailey a bust?
  25. TruffleShuffle
    yes but under the rules that they played by during his era, offense was hard to come by, and yet he was very good at providing offense. it's not as silly as derwood's "everyone was very bad at baseball back then," but i don't think that different rules are a good reason to discount someone's ability as a player. offense was hard to come by? I picked a random "good" year by Anson (1884) where Cap had an OPS+ of 176. He had teammates with OPS+ of 152, 169, 150, 150 and 184. In 1886 (the year Anson had 147 RBI), he OPS+'d 178. Other teammates had 152, 117 and 191. That's just looking at his own teammates. and guess what? that team was good at hitting. they finished 12 games over .500 but had a pythag of 26 games over .500. are you suggesting that most players in the league had an OPS+ well over 100? because that makes no sense whatsoever. if you'd arbitrarily chosen to look at the detroit wolverines that year, you would've seen OPS+'s of 24 (!!), 44 and 47, and those guys were starters. of course, that team was horrible. the league average line over the course of anson's career was .277/.326/.369/.695. that does not suggest a great deal of offensive productivity.
