    This is what I most remember him for: http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/3374/mmbal22ko3.jpg

    A quick glance at the records and it looks like Sandy Koufax is the only candidate. He won 27 games his final season. I don't guess this counts, but in his last season as a full time starter, Babe Ruth won 24 games.

    I don't think he's a HOFer. He's very, very, very close though. 270 Wins 3.68 ERA 2813 K's 7 Gold Gloves 5 time all-star What hurts him most I think is the lack of a Cy Young and his falling short of the "milestone" stats. Perhaps the fact that he never really distinguished himself in the postseason might hurt as well. As an aside, his career ERA+ of 123 is pretty damn good though for someone with over 500 games started. Not that they care about ERA+, but a fun factoid is that Mussina does have a higher career ERA+ than 32 pitchers in the HOF.

    At some point in 2008, two NL teams played the 100,000th National League game. Crazy.

    Payroll relief. Ellsbury is probably ready to play CF everyday with this move, and it frees up money to outbid the Yankees for a SP. But that's why they got rid of Crisp, which I understand. But why Ramirez in return? Cheap bullpen help is always a good thing. They weren't going to get much for Crisp. Gotcha.

    Fool of a took.

    Why would the Sox need Ramirez. They seem to be pretty solid at middle relief with Delcarmen, Lopez, and Okajima.

    Probably true, but I figured it was worth discussing. No doubt. I don't know if I'd want him even if he were available though. Seems like a real headcase and we are already meeting our headcase quota on the team. He wasn't really all that much better than Gregg was last year anyways. Valverde: 3.38 ERA, 126 ERA+. Gregg: 3.41 ERA, 125 ERA+. Valverde's K:BB ratio is much, much better than Gregg's though. However, Valverde did give up three times as many HR as Gregg.

    Seems moot because I just can't imagine Houston trading him to us.

    Joe Tinker channeling Wolverine?

    You're on a roll tonight. I suggest you lock it! C'mon...c'mon. You know you want to.

    If true, I bet he'd poop his pants when he found out. Playing in the Coliseum would have been a death sentence for him.

    Chipper Jones continues to be the most underrated player of this generation as well. Those #s from a 3B??? Chipper is definitely in the top 3rd basemen of all time. To me you've got an easy 1-3 for 3rd baggers all-time with Schmidt, Mathews, and then Brett. After that there should be, in any order you want, Boggs, Santo, Robinson, and Jones.

    Alright folks, let's get ready to rumble! These are some great pics from the Marichal-Roseboro incident from 1965. Story goes that Marichal had already knocked down two Dodgers players in the game, but Koufax wouldn't retaliate. So when Marichal came up to bat, Dodgers catcher Johnny Roseboro started returning the pitched balls right past Marichal's face. Marichal snapped and smacked Roseboro over the head twice with his bat cutting his head open. Thus started a 14 minute bat-wielding brawl the likes of which hasn't been seen since. Kudos to Sandy for actually staying in the fray against two men with baseball bats. I might have been heading the other way.

    I really wish. The dummies who run the Hall of Fame archives are a bunch of mugwumps and refuse to get in the modern age and put a lot of their stuff online. They have sooooo much stuff at their disposal.
  21. OleMissCub
    I dig it. I'm all for resigning Demp.

    Recently came across some pretty good and unique historical baseball photos:

    it'd be better to attack Gehrig for the specific era he played in, which was the biggest offensive era of all time behind the late 90's.
  24. OleMissCub
    Factoring modern day competition, Pujols is better. Matt Holliday is better than Babe Ruth too.
  25. OleMissCub
    After their first 8 full seasons: Gehrig: .345/.448/.644, 186 OPS+, 1610 Hits, 278 HR, 334 Doubles, 114 Triples, 1203 RBI, 1132 Runs, 849 Walks Pujols: .334/.425/.624, 170 OPS+, 1531 Hits, 319 HR, 342 Doubles, 13 Triples, 977 RBI, 947 Runs, 696 Walks Pujols is likely to retire as the second greatest first baseman of all time, perhaps even the first.
