    This man should not be allowed to win another game: http://www.mimifroufrou.com/scentedsalamander/i/Tom_Brady_Stetson.jpg

    His win shares are pretty bad for someone who played 18 years. Rickey Henderson has literally about 100 points higher WARP3. *on a side note, just looking at WARP3 for the top 10 players in stolen bases, check out Vince Coleman: Rickey Henderson: 187.7 Lou Brock: 88.2 Billy Hamilton: 110.3 Ty Cobb: 205.4 Tim Raines: 123.9 Vince Coleman: 36.4 YUCK Eddie Collins: 181.7 Max Carey: 99.5 Arlie Latham: 62.7 Honus Wagner: 210.7

    Waite Hoyt Dave Bancroft George Kell Herb Pennock Ross Youngs Earle Combs Red Schoendist Harry Hooper & most of PingHitter's list (excluding Dizzy).

    That's just so pathetic. It's basically David Justice. Certainly worthy of election to the hall... :roll: Question....someone told me today that Andre Dawson said that he wouldn't wear a Cubs or Expos cap on his plaque if he were to ever make it...he'd wear a Red Sox one. Is that true?
  6. OleMissCub
    Must have been something like that. Well here's one stat for Bly that we CAN verify: He has as many career shutouts as Glavine and Maddog COMBINED.
  7. OleMissCub
    Yes, I understand. I'm not standing by the authenticity of the guy's statement, it's just what I heard.
  8. OleMissCub
    that can't be right, there has to be more to it than that. That's what the guy said, and he repeated it a couple of times because of what an insanely remarkable (and tragic) stat that is.
  9. OleMissCub
    There was a Blyleven stat that one of the guys from BP was talking about on XM Radio a while back. He said that 60 times in his career, Blyleven went into the 7th inning having only given up 2 or fewer runs. In those games, he was 0-40....yes 0-40. Dude truly played on some horrific teams and his legacy is getting punished for it.
  10. OleMissCub
    Only 3 guys in the history of the game have 800 steals and 2600 hits: Ty Cobb, Rickey Henderson, and Tim Raines. Raines is a HOFer. 24% is abysmal.

    +1

    Goose gets in with 86% of the vote. In honor of Goose....the greatest tirade against the media of all time (COMPLETELY NOT SAFE FOR WORK): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r75KU9reHAs

    Yes indeed it is. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/hof08/news/story?id=3177278

    I don't want to divert the topic, but I never understood the "punch something inanimate when I'm angry" thing. Its got to hurt. Must have been the steroids I was taking at the time. :P

    I cried during one when I was 11 but I don't think that counts...I mean, I was 11. Well, I take that back. I teared up a little bit when my knee exploded into a million pieces. That was the closest I've ever come to crying from pain as an adult. You guys who have never injured your knees have NO idea of the pain. Sweet Mohammed, it's terrible.
  16. OleMissCub
    Eastern sportswriters love to use the term "most feared hitter of his era"....ya right. From 75-86, 32 players had more IBB than Rice. Plus, check out his Home/Road splits....they are horrific: Home: .320/.374/.546, .920 OPS Away: .277/.330/.459, .789 OPS
  17. OleMissCub
    That old fart in the middle is a dick in person. He's at all the OSU games and does some stupid dance that everyone cheers. I've never cried due to a sporting event in my life. I came close in 2003, but I was able to channel that into wall punching anger.

    My guesses are Gossage and Rice will get in. Rice doesn't deserve it, but I don't mind Gossage. Rice will get in because he played in Boston, plain and simple. Check out his career win shares. 83.2 WARP3 in his 16 year career. Check out these other HOF hitters that were contemporaries of his through their first 16 years: Murray: 127.9 Yount: 118.9 Winfield: 112.0 Schmidt: 155.3 Jackson: 112.8 Molitor: 102.9 Brett: 116.9 Puckett (in just 12 years): 91.5 Sandberg (only 14 full seasons): 113.1 Other guys up for it this year: Dawson had 97.5 in his first 16 years. Raines: 115.2 in his first 16 Of course Dawson will get screwed as well. I think Gammons' big head must really hate the Cubs. Check out his ballot: He voted for Gossage, Rice (huge shock I know), Blyleven, Trammell, Raines, & Morris...but not The Hawk.

    That lawsuit is a joke. Nothing to see here, move along.

    Eli Manning looks good for once!

    I hate that his Hank Aaron one is old fatboy Hank: http://www.spawn.com/toys/product.aspx?product=3419 and not young badass Hank: http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/9315/aarongifmn3.gif

    He's made a ton of "Legends" of the game, but has yet to make an Ernie Banks. It'd be cool if he made a 3 Finger Brown one too, where you could see his whacked out hand.

They won't be released until Feb. He's also got one of Lee, Maddux (as a Cub) and Zambo that look pretty good. http://www.spawn.com/toys/product.aspx?product=3190 http://www.spawn.com/toys/baseball/mlb15/dlee/images/mlb15_dlee_photo_01_dl.jpg and Ramirez http://www.spawn.com/toys/product.aspx?product=2880 and Soriano http://www.spawn.com/toys/product.aspx?product=3445
