  1. And from 2001 up until last year, AT&T has played as a pitcher's park every year except 2004.
  2. Going for the monster park in Oakland to the tiny park in SF obviously wasn't going to bode well for Zito. Everyone in the world knew it. lol wat Oh come on it is barely 421 to right center with a 25 foot wall. :D Okay, the gaps are big but down the line its nothing. 339 in left and 309 in right? That's a hitters park. Between the San Francisco weather, high walls, and some parts of the park that are very deep it is definitely not a pitchers park. It also neutralizes left handed home run power quite a bit. It's Park Factor for runs is at 1.025, just slightly below Fenway (1.051) and Coors (1.040). Compare that to McAfee Coliseum in Oakland, which is at 0.849, he was definitely going into a much, much more hitter friendly environment. Is AT&T Park the biggest hitter friendly park in the league? Obviously not, but it's definitely hitter friendly. The past three years AT&T park has been under 1. I think it's neutral at best.
  3. I'd take 4,5,6 over 1,2,3 any day, lack of a cf be damned.
  4. Sabathia Harden Zambrano Dempster Lilly
  5. hmmm I quit my job about a week ago... :-k
  6. When I was a little kid I usually gave up sex for lent, and it wasn't too hard (maybe I should say difficult) back then. Sometimes I gave up cocaine instead.
  7. Absolutely. I don't drink much pop anymore, but Coca-cola > Pepsi. It's weird because now when I do drink pop it's usually diet, and I prefer Diet Pepsi over Diet Coke. I also love Grape, Strawberry and Orange Soda.
  8. Boy did I love this guy a few years ago.
  9. If Josh Kroeger is the answer, that is a question I wish we didn't have to ask.
  10. whew, at least we'll get Zito after getting swept by the Sox this weekend.
  11. Everyone who thinks the save is a very meaningful stat, I would like to introduce you to Shawn Chacon's 2004. http://www.baseball-reference.com/c/chacosh01.shtml
  12. Are you saying we should let them keep scoring until the storm comes and the game is cancelled?
  13. To be fair, he is a second baseman. And he acted how a majority of LF would have acted in that situation, it was just a heads up play by cabrera.
  14. Why don't you want them in your favorites?
  15. Yeah, the reports of AJ being a "douche" are highly exaggerated. For some reason everybody hates him, but during interviews and such, he's just like any other ballplayer. I honestly don't know where the anger started. I don't recall any hatred toward him or issues while in Minnesota although I definitely could be wrong since I focus more on the National League. The first issue(s) I can remember were with his teammates in SF and it seems that those were just blown out of proportion. I know the white sox fans used to hate him when he was a twin.
