    wow when he threw that, i was thinking "good Lord is that as high as it looks?" and the answer was yes, yes it was.

    this pepsi ad with "pastor mike" on mlb.tv is extremely annoying, especially when seen 10 times a game.

    this makes no sense. sorry. for me, it's the twins. i was born in st. paul and my best friend is a twins fan.

    congrats to the red wings, they were definitely the best team, and deserved to win the cup. hopefully next year it's the flyers :pig:

    It's basically rebranded Hardees. So yes. i'm going to san francisco for a week in late sept/early oct, so i'm trying to figure out places i need to eat. jack in the box is a definite no; in n out burger is a definite yes. north beach pizza i've had before, but it's ridiculously good so i'm probably going to eat there at least 2 or 3 times.

    P/PA: 2006: 3.71 2007: 3.68 2008: 4.09 Percent of pitches outside the strike zone that he swings at: 2006: 26.25 % 2007: 30.76 % 2008: 23.88 % Percent of pitches within the strike zone that he swings at: 2006: 70.27% 2007: 72.92% 2008: 71.46% Percent of pitches swung at: 2006: 49.02% 2007: 51.58% 2008: 47.59% Percent of "outside the strike zone" swings where contact is made: 2006: 62.83% 2007: 65.59% 2008: 53.57% Percent of "inside the strike zone" swings where contact is made: 2006: 91.86% 2007: 93.18% 2008: 86.49% Percent of swings where contact is made: 2006: 84.35% 2007: 84.85% 2008: 78.20% LD%: 2006: 18.2% 2007: 17.5% 2008: 20.8% Note that he's showing the same sort of discipline within the zone, at least as far as percent of pitches swung at. The big difference is the frequency at which he lets bad pitches go. The last few stats, I'm not sure if it's percent of pitches where contact is made, or where the ball is put into play, but there are significant differences in those categories as well. His strikeout rate is also higher than it's been in many years, so it's possible that he's transitioning from a low-walk, low-strikeout guy to a more traditional slugger with higher walk and strikeout rates.

    I hope not. I've got my fingers crossed that Roger Clemens will stop in his restaurant make a steroid confession over a plate of Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes. ahahahahaha
  15. TruffleShuffle
    i think they're the best team in the national league, personally

    the best part of this cub team is the relentless pressure they put on opposing pitchers. i was thinking that last night as theriot worked the count full and drew the bases loaded walk off ledezma. old cub teams didn't know the strike zone from their ass or a hole in the ground, but these guys have a good concept of what to swing at and what to let go. when they fell behind yesterday, they kept working good, patient at bats and found good pitches to drive. it's fun to watch.
  21. TruffleShuffle
    well, at least he knows the ban is coming
  22. TruffleShuffle
    not to mention that this is what he makes his money doing. when he retires, he can probably still make some money announcing, doing card shows, maybe if he goes into coaching, but his days of making mega-big dollars are essentially over. if the guy loves what he does and wants to keep making money doing it, go for it. nobody bitches when a computer programmer or insurance adjuster stays at his job into his 60s and 70s, even though his mind isn't as sharp as it used to be and he gets tired more easily.
  23. TruffleShuffle
    wow jeez that is terrible. okay i've seen the light, he is a sham.
  24. TruffleShuffle
    agreed
  25. TruffleShuffle
    i hope he can make it back and pitch effectively, if only for a year or part of a year. he's one of the great pitchers of our generation, and a great postseason pitcher as well (albeit with terrible run support), plus he's made it through some adversity. good luck to him.
