    Indeed. This guy is the biggest crybaby in baseball.
  2. Chocolate Milk
    And even better, it doesn't appear to be a serious injury.
  3. Chocolate Milk
    Should I cash out my 401k for World Series tickets yet?
  4. Chocolate Milk
    Excellent news!! Made my day. Edit: Also Jones had a light workout yesterday.

    Absolutely. Neifi is a better defender than Izturis. Cesar's 2005 fielding rate: 108 His career fielding rate: 101 http://www.baseballprospectus.com/dt/izturce01.shtml Neifi's 2005 fielding rate: 115 His career fielding rate: 111 http://www.baseballprospectus.com/dt/perezne01.shtml By PMR, Neifi is shown to have been much better in 2005: http://anaheimangelsblog.blogspot.com/2006/01/pmr-redux-shortstops-update-david.html Just because some Dodgers fans (who probably watch as many Cubs games as I watch Dodgers games) think he's the best fielder in baseball doesn't mean it's true. And Dewan's method of rating middle infielders is pretty flawless, by the way. Good stuff here.

    http://www.rockymountainnews.com/drmn/nfl/article/0,2777,DRMN_23918_4899318,00.html WTF? Good luck with that.

    Very tender, and juicy. He plays like a caged animal. But he's soft. This is excellent work here.

    Hopefully MRI results come out today. Also, hopefully T. Jones will be back within the next week (that's what the speculation is).

    Same as ... The Metallica party The AC/DC party The Pantera party ... and on and on. I wouldn't go to any of those parties.

    huh? Bradley was drafted as a raw WR with great speed. his hands and routes are what were questioned, never his speed. I never heard of him as a great speed guy. Really? He ran a 4.42 at the combine and in the 4.3's at OU's proday. I never thought of him as a burner nor a plodder. Certainly faster than Muhammed, but he's not the Bears speed threat. I think he is in the faster end of the spectrum when it comes to WR's. He's not the fastest guy in the NFL but speed certainly isn't an issue with him. Low 4.4's and high 4.3's is fast.

    http://www.zippyvideos.com/1319394625739376/benson/ It didn't look that bad. Separated shoulder?
  13. Chocolate Milk
    "indefinitely" Uh, I'm not sure that's right. Anyway, this is terrible news. At least it wasn't Rex.
  14. Chocolate Milk
    I think there are regulations about that, actually. You couldn't be more wrong, sir.

    I've never been a big Stones fan and I'm not sure why.

    Actually it has already happened, and we're just too foolish to recognize because we've never played the game, or don't watch enough games, or don't appreciate the finer parts of his game, or something. My apologies. I'm always so close-minded. He'll drive in runs with his glove.
  17. Chocolate Milk
    This still doesn't make stolen bases worth more at 75% success rate. Sorry.
  18. Chocolate Milk
    Juan Peirre is stealing bases at a 76% clip. He is treading water. Your arbitrary increases seem to be much higher than what actually is occuring. http://www.baseball-analysis.com/article.php?articleid=2607 3 things to that 1) If the loss is only 2.3 times the gain, then it wouldn't take 3 sb's for every caught stealing, just 2.3 steals for every caught stealing-that makes him more productive. 2)Pierre doesn't always steal bases or get caught with nobody out-what are the numbers with 1 out or 2 outs and nobody on? 3)The 80 point increase in slugging was not arbitrary-if all 38 of his sb's were with nobody on or as Pierre being the lead runner, that's what his extra bases would increase his slugging this year. Yes, not all 38 of those were in that situation-but at least 29 of them were. Why should I even respond to this knowing that you obviously didn't even read the article? The 75% factor is more thoroughly answered in the article and an even more thorough explanation than that is also linked. Really there is no point to continuing this discussion. You refuse to read or acknowledge anything that is contrary to your off the cuff calculations and you obviously won't budge an inch no matter how much evidence I post to show that you are overvaluing stolen bases. This is a waste of my time.

    CHARGE THE MOUND!!!

    What was this arbitrary adjustment based on? It's based on adding a base to slugging every time Pierre steals a base and taking away a hit from his OBP every time he gets caught. We've already discussed how that doesn't work because of the fact that a traditional double drives in runs. You adjusted by an arbitrary 10 slugging points to make up for this. I don't see how you got that from anywhere besides just making it up. This also doesn't take into account that OBP is more important to offensive production than SLG.

    Defense. Wins. Ballgames. Just for clarity, that ball was hit off Zambrano's leg and deflected to Izturis at SS. No chance to make a play. Don't rain on my parade.

    Sully, I see you out there! What's your take on the Bears after a week or so of training camp?
