    Tell us what you think the book is about. Tell us why you think everything linked and quoted about this book is made up. Tell us why you post such stupid, stupid things.

    Hey, who knows? Maybe there's a whole chapter about #4 hitters bunting and how that's super awesome.

    It's not "vaguely anti-sabermetric;" it's obviously anti-sabermetric. It's railing sabermetrics through the hoary old cliche of "stat geeks" and how they don't understand the REAL GAME, MAN.

    I'm not supporting anything. I'm laughing at all of the colossal leaps to judgement going on here. Heck one person intimated that this book seeks to disprove sabermetrics because one time, a bird got hit with a baseball. Seriously? That's what you expect this book is about? It's clearly one of the things the book is about, unless, again, you think the stuff we're quoting are just lies. Seriously, if you want to pretend that there's some amazing insight waiting to be discovered in the pages of this book, have fun with that. You're not going to find it, and this book is obviously just regurgitation the same anti-saber crap that we've seen countless times over. Please point to one thing in the links and quotes that indicate you think there's anything of value in this book.

    That's what makes this book even more ridiculous. There seems to be this perception that those that want more attention being paid to "new" stats somehow have no emotional connection or affection for the game. It's this childish, moronic "us vs. them" mentality that meatballs thrive on.

    How do you know if it misses the book's point?

    The point that the people who can think critically were making is that the premise and central thesis of the book is completely stupid, and completely deserves to be mocked and ridiculed. Unless you've read it, or at a minimum seen more than just one review of it, then you don't know what the premise and central thesis of the book is. Yeah, actually we do. What, you think the promotional blurbs and press release are just elaborate diversionary tactics to hide the real twist of what the book is about?

    Because it's obvious this book is going to be made up mostly of stupid meatball garbage just from the press release alone, so it would be a waste of time for anyone with any intelligence to read it. You can find endless variations of the same reactionary anti-sabrermetric crap on blogs and message board and sports media sites all over the internet. If you want to be one those guys, great, have fun. It should be exceedingly obvious you're in a tiny, tiny minority here, and it's refuge from that type of nonsense that was one of the main reasons this place was created and took off, so don't play the poor, put upon martyr when you support books like this.

    By this you mean the lone dissenting voice has been sufficiently mocked and shouted down. It's been a while since we've had a groupthink meme post. I, for one, welcome it back. Just so it can be shouted down. And mocked. [expletive] yeah. That's what made NSBB great in the first place. The book is the epitome of Cubs.com garbage.
  11. Sammy Sofa
    Yessssssssssssss....YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO....
  12. Sammy Sofa
    Oh my. PLEASE join in.
  13. Sammy Sofa
    I think that would depend on whether or not it was a national author. If it was an international author we'd all be slaves under his conquering fist.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    Hopefully someone stops feeding you. I guess I should have expected as such from this board. Someone disagrees, calls you on your stupidity and the name calling ensues. Clearly missing the point as usual but masking it with some supposed "witty" reply that makes no sense. Thank you for adding to the examples in this thread of what is wrong with this community of bullies and jerks Then don't post such stupid posts.
  15. Sammy Sofa
    But if it was a regional author he would have been fair game. And a local author? Christ knows how they can even feed themselves.
  16. Sammy Sofa
    Shut up, Sheldon.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    I love how the release proudly proclaims that he watched ALL 162 games of the Red Sox' 2009 season. Wow, ALL OF THEM?!?
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Holllllllllllllllllllllyyyyyy [expletive], this is going to be hilarious.
  19. Sammy Sofa
    I think he's consistently going to hit 60 a year.
  20. Sammy Sofa
    Holy [expletive]. That's awful.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    Maybe they're afraid to fire him because every time they go to talk to him he does something gross with his zombie fingers.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    Really?
  23. Sammy Sofa
    The crippling loss of revenue from the "Pujols mows my lawn" and "The Cardinals take it in the Pujols" shirts.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    Oh, it's definitely trolling for the fans not going insane.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    Most of the Bulls fans troll this thread much, much worse than SSR ever could hope to. It's like half of them turn into erik every single game.
