  1. Without looking it up, I would bet that the X-Men movies did way better than the Hulk. As far as bankability of the characters go, I think it's Wolverine without much question.
  2. Apparently Soriano's foot became completely severed from his leg during the hop. It'll probably be a couple of months before he's back in the lineup.
  3. Are you serious? A guy with a .455 career MLB slg% in over 800 ABs is to be judged on 34 minor league ABs? This is DKWG you're talking about here. Of course he's serious.
  4. Why? Did he remove Hill from the rotation yet? Read his quote again. He doesn't say anything about removing Hill. He just sounds concerned with how Hill is pitching, and that's justified. Yeah, quit being so knee-jerk, guys.
  5. It was crystal clear. Barrett started what he couldn't finish. Z was a complete idiot, but nothing would have happened if Barrett wasn't a hot head who made the first physical move. Z was just very quick to respond. It wasn't crystal clear at all. I also watched the video a lot and saw nothing that I would even remotely consider a lunge from Barrett.
  6. The cat was already pretty well out of the bag at that point. Moneyball probably accelerated the process, but with Ricciardi in Toronto, Epstein in Boston, and Cashman in New York, OBP wasn't going to be undervalued for much longer.
  7. Better luck next time, IMB.
  8. Especially if they write something that gets published.
  9. A review of Nate's Upside stat, for those of you wondering what that triple digit number next to his name means.
  10. A lot. In his recent article on catching prospects, Soto topped out the list as the number one catching prospect in baseball, better than Wieters, Towles or Clement. Here's what Nate said about him: And here's his overall list of young catchers in baseball, including non-rookies:
  11. classless Who is OMC and what is that all about? OMC is OleMissCub and it's about his man-crush for Ty Cobb, who once also spiked a man in the crotch was a violent racist.
  12. Shelley Duncan spikes Akinori Iwamuri. He's stabbing a black man away from being OMC's new hero. http://d.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/ap/20080312/capt.bd939b50298b406996ff359960468caf.yankees_rays_spring_baseball_flgp103.jpg Jonny Gomes plows into Duncan at 2b. He might be my new hero. http://d.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/ap/20080312/capt.6c9db0c8471d4bc897154c88802a057e.yankees_rays_spring_training_baseball_flgp102.jpg
  13. Then there is something seriously wrong with your sensors.
  14. because the Dusty-run clubhouse was a complete clown show. Steve Stone compliments Roy Oswalt and a fine pitching performance and then he has Alou/Mercker calling the booth to complain? what sane manager would allow that to happen? i don't blame him one bit for quitting....the whole situation was a joke That's not what happened. Dippy was the one who complemented Oswalt's performance, which was not actually fine, and Mercker, who was friends with Dippy, called the booth to give him crap as friends are wont to do. Stone then went to the media exaggerating this nonissue and continued to lie about the nature of his conflicts with the players. Steve Stone is not a nice person.
  15. No, these are spring training at bats. They count more.
  16. What? No, we haven't. These are just some other dudes.
  17. +1million Anonymity goes a long way to making someone a jerk Pseudonyms have a long and glorious history. I don't get the emphasis on anonymity.
  18. Hurray for new sigs!
  19. I don't really think there's any reason to believe that Fuld could maintain a better OBP than Pie. While Fuld has a different skillset than Pie, Fuld's skills are also more limited and less effective.
  20. "I don't think he serves a purpose for us second." Awesome.
  21. Steve Stone's baseball opinions have always sucked hard.
  22. So do I.
