It's right up there with reading. http://i.giphy.com/sgYcX1QqBGPsI.gif

While I wish the reality was they simply dumped a pile of pizza goo on Dom DeLuise, in truth the FX guy that first played Pizza refused to put the costume back on when they had to do reshoots. PIZZA THE HUTT IS HELL.

DAMMIT, SOMEONE BRING ME A TOMBSTONE.

Hahahahahaah! Excellent. I love the uncomfortable grossness Pizza the Hutt inspires in people. Me? He weirdly makes me hungry for shitty frozen pizza. http://i.imgur.com/3mCweul.gif

Make it a poll. I will abide by pure democracy, not filthy capitalism.

Haha, yeah...I'm not disinterested in 85 because of 69...I'm disinterested in 85 because it's talked about so damn much. And also, I have much more attachment to teams I was invested in, and at 9 years old, I just wasn't that invested in the Bears. I thought it was one of the weaker type 30 for 30's, mainly because they let the players basically take over it, but they don't have much of anything to say. They think they're a bunch of scary, insane guys with CA-RAZY stories who are actually just really, really boring. It touched on a lot of interesting things (how dominating the defense was, the mix of personalities, basically ushering in modern day media endorsements, the after effects of football), but it was on the level of the 30 for 30's that were basically made by the major sports organizations in that it was too focused on making it a love letter to the subject. The second half was better, if not depressing as hell. Seeing the different reactions to Payton's frustration over not scoring in the SB was interesting (but then when they have an opportunity to do something similar with Ditka going media crazy when he told everyone else not to and how it pissed a lot of them off, that's only briefly touched on and mostly played for a joke), as was McMahon dealing with his injuries.

Math is hard.

Noooo, that he turned out to be one of those dudes who can keep up a crazy high BABIP even though they have no business doing so. Like, here it was just kinda high for a scrub with declining production each season, but in Japan it was CRAZY high. Gentlemen, we've accomplished something here today.

What? No.

It's gonna be depressing as hell.

Hey, looks like maybe he was just one of those guys after all: Japanese baseball is weird.

I doubt anyone here thinks the Matt Murton from the second half of 2007 was the "real" Matt Murton is what I mean; he clearly had a largely unsustainable run for those last couple+ months. He was an unremarkable player who sometimes had flashes of looking like more. Combine that with his stumpfooted defense and he's a big ol' oh well. To me his BABIP during his good periods seems a bit too high for someone so forgettable. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong.
-
maybe it's because you hate white players And damned Murton was the whitest of them all.
-
Seemed like when you break down those seasons he was hitting around a .330-.340 BABIP when he was on. I dunno; seems a bit unsustainable for a guy who didn't project to be a big hitter. .336 was his career high for a season (in the 50 game sample in 05), which isn't outlandishly high. for the most part (and for his career) he was in the low-mid .300s, though. Like I said, I was just eyeballing his season breakdowns. The split in 2007 alone seems pretty glaring.
-
I wasn't bummed because we got Rich [expletive] Harden. Great [expletive] day. You went to his debut, right? When Theriot threw that ball into the OF? Oh yeah. One of the best games I ever went to. It was driving me nuts how people wanted to basically throw Marmol onto the street but quickly forgot that [expletive] horsefeathering Theriot.
-
A .319 BABIP isn't ridiculous, which is what he had from 05-07 with the Cubs. Seemed like when you break down those seasons he was hitting around a .330-.340 BABIP when he was on. I dunno; seems a bit unsustainable for a guy who didn't project to be a big hitter.
-
I liked Murton, but I remember not being bummed out when he was traded in 2008. Something just seemed to flip off pretty quickly with him. Looking at his numbers, he had a pretty ridiculous BABIP when he was hitting.
-
OR IS THERE.
-
Sure, but what are the odds he ends up one of the 4-5 best hitters in the lineup any time soon? Seems like a good spot for him for a while.

I picture you looking like the robot from Buck Rogers when you're happy and the nightmare-'bot from The Black Hole when you rage.

Plus the weird, miscalculated, Careless-like bouts of emotional outbursts. It makes you more lovable, quite frankly.
