  1. that's what I'm trying to figure out here. if 20 hypothetical players are worse, I would expect around 20 hypothetical players to be better and the other 160 hypothetical players to be pretty damn close to where they always are If 20 are worse, why even assume 20 are better? That makes absolutely no sense. If a certain subset of players is performing worse, it is a mathematical certainty that someone is performing better. And yes, collectively, the 180 players would be performing better. if you mean better than the 20 worst players, then I agree
  2. DeRosa made some good comments in his Lunch with a Legend interview regarding 2003. he said they all knew, when the Cubs clinched it, they were done because of Wood, Prior, and Zambrano. he said Chipper walked up to him and said "we're going home".

That makes absolutely no sense. I'm going with his hypothetical player scenario from before, trying to get back to that hypothetical average number.

  5. how can you assume if 20 are below average that 180 will be above average?
  6. I'm willing to offer up my services for a spot start to improve on my lifetime 0-1 game thread starting record
  7. please let there be no coffee in Ohio
  8. only if I'm made a mod so I can ban owners of the teams that beat me
  9. good job knowing way too many lyrics from that song
  10. I think it's clear that what we've learned here is to never trust anything that comes from Idaho. except potatoes, they're yummy
  11. I think DirecTV has 3, but I haven't checked the listings yet. Since there isn't any "regional" coverage with DirecTV, I imagine it will be on the guide here says (11 central): 610 - Youngstown State @ Ohio State 617 - Coastal Carolina @ Penn State 618 - Maine @ Iowa 620 - Western Kentucky @ Indiana 623 - Akron @ Wisconsin all are in HD on the -1
  12. all I did was giggle when they walked Lee. I knew something big was coming, though I expected a single or a gapper
  13. I did, but it was rejected by all the big labels for fear of widespread panic surrounding the revelation of my time machine
  14. My dad is 5'8" and my mom is 5'6" ... I'm 6'4"-6'5"ish I have no doubts your "dad" is only 5'8"
  15. so what you're saying is you created a thread with no need for discussion?
  16. I apologize in advance http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=If8RpOmFdJI
  17. the alphabet lets be serious here I was being serious. I'd rather sing the alphabet than any Bon Jovi song
  18. I would have agreed with you all the way up until the point where we got shutout by him last month. Now I'm petrified of him again. Except we were crushing the ball off him all game. Just a bad night. that was one of the most frustrating games to watch all season
  19. Phil Rogers is just saying that in hopes he then gets dropped to #2 in the list of Cubs worst nightmares
  20. I'm not wearing a hat, so there you go
  21. I got a 3 year subscription to the magazine on ebay for $4, so I get that inside scoop on the site for free. both are pretty worthless Just curious...have there been any Cubs features in any of the issues this year? I always like that kind of stuff, no matter how worthless the content usually is. I honestly never open it. it either goes straight to the trash or my nephew takes it.
