    good thing I took him in about every league I was in Well, it was good while it lasted. 2 for 2, with 1 run and 1 rbi. Not a bad season... :banghead:
  2. Rob
    And Victor Martinez went down hard attempting to take second on a passed ball... that might be the season for my fantasy team.

    And that'll be Buehrle's day. Seven runs in 1 and 2/3. I prefer the rain delay to watching that sort of performance from our "ace."
  4. Rob
    The good news is that Mark Buehrle has given up 6 runs through 1 and 2/3 so far. That should at least help us get through the rain delay. Edit: Correction. Seven runs in 1 2/3.

    This is the biggest ticker ever.

    Pie only swung at one pitch he shouldn't have. And he was right not to swing at strike two. Keep it in perspective, people.

    Welecome to the Fuku-dome.

    Gameday is enormous now. Is there any way to use last year's version?
  9. Rob
    I'm definately getting my picture with that statue when I go to Wrigley Saturday.
  10. Rob
    Agreed. It's an institution.
  11. Rob
    Is it just me, or has Bob lost a lot of hair since the end of last season?
  12. Rob
    Yeah, I just saw that. I don't dig the re-design for the most part... but that was pretty neat.

    Is the regular WGN broadcast not in HD? If not, WGN would still be the easy choice for me. Unfortunately, I don't get WGNHD yet. It should be here in about six weeks... If it's a blackout on ESPN2, that'd make my decision a lot easier. I haven't checked yet.
  14. Rob
    Would I rather watch this game on WGN and get to listen to Len and Bob, or watch it on ESPN2 and get to see it all in glorious high def, but have to listen to crappier announcers?
  15. Rob
    They made the move this spring since he couldn't hang defensively at SS. Well that's a shame, since he doesn't seem to have the bat to hang anywhere else... at least not right now. On the bright side of things, I'm really looking forward to seeing Donaldson, Rundle, Burke and Rhee in Peoria.
  16. Rob
    Since when is Dylan Johnston an OF?
  17. Rob
    Say what you will about President Bush, but he does seem like a guy that would be fun to drink a few beers with and watch the game.
  18. Rob
    So it could get better? If Pie starts off slow, it could get much, much worse.
  19. Rob
    Upon thinking about it some, I would believe that there might be one player in baseball whom if the numbers said they were better in the clutch, I would think it was more than statistical noise. That player is Manny Ramirez. He might be the only player in the entire league that I would buy just coasts through without max effort, but steps it up in big situations (again, providing that the numbers showed it). Everybody else in the league is probably already attempting to do their best everytime up there though.
  20. Rob
    Ping, you know fielding percentage is a flawed metric. Why are you lowering yourself to using it?
  21. Rob
    "Clutch" exists. There are large moments in ballgames, and some spectacular things can happen. "Clutch players" are a myth, though. Performing better than normal in clutch situations one year doesn't make you more likely to perform in the clutch next year.

    +1 Theriot Soriano Lee Aramis Fukudome DeRosa Soto Pie or Murton Fukudome ARod Lee Aramis DeRosa Soto Pie
  23. Rob
    That's all I ever wanted. :yahoo: (we need a hug emoticon)
  24. Rob
    Well in this particular case, it finally occurred to me that I could combine his AAA MLEs with his actual MLB stat line. And after I had done so, I couldn't help but laugh at the fact that he performed almost exactly as well as Theriot in AVG/OBP last year, and obviously beats him badly in SLG... and yet some people still think Theriot is somehow better. I mean, really... Pie - .272/.322 Theriot - .266/.326 That's pretty neat. And I don't recall anybody else trying to combine Pie's disparate performances into one stat line. So of course I feel the need to brag, and to be acknowledged for discovering this little tidbit.
  25. Rob
    Forgive me if I read too much into your bolding. It seemed somewhat conceited. At any rate, I'd sincerely love to hear why you think you know more than the people who designed the translations. It'd be one thing if you were just saying you're more comfortable that you know what Theriot is capable of. But to argue that he's actually a better hitter is simply letting yourself be so risk-averse as to cloud your judgement. Give Pie the everyday job at the beginning of the season, and it would take a huge collapse to even make them comparable hitters. Maybe a 10-15% chance of that happening? Ryan Theriot simply is not a major-league caliber hitter...
