    he's beating the **** out of padgett over the back on every entry pass It's absurd. I'm surprised they called that hack on WIlliams. He also travels quite a bit. This is what I have been saying all year, and getting murdered for it because I like Duke. You take away half of his foul shots and 2 or 3 shots a game for travels and his stats are not so impressive. methinx a duke fan should not complain about other teams getting favorable treatment from the refs http://www.scotsavage.com/03OJ.jpg Jon Benet Ramsey's parents are guilty!

    Get another HDTV. Me and my g/f both have a t.v. we watch and both have our own DVR. Actually I watch her t.v. and she uses mine. That's cool with me b/c hers is about 20in. bigger. that's what....he said

    One (or both) of these teams are going to pass out. This is a ridiculous pace.

    Whoa whoa whoa. 10 at-bats? Francoeur had 182 at-bats with RISP last season, 172 the year before, and 112 (out of 257 total) in 2005. Let's look at the situations for Casey Blake: 2007 Bases empty: .308 .382 .517 Runners on: .227 .289 .344 RISP: .190 .271 .294 2006: Bases empty: .315 .380 .562 Runners on: .242 .329 .379 RISP: .261 .360 .450 2005 Bases empty: .278 .351 .535 Runners on: .192 .250 .308 RISP: .171 .243 .248 2004 Bases empty: .280 .364 .544 Runners on: .261 .343 .426 RISP: .254 .359 .364 2003 Bases empty: .269 .327 .416 Runners on: .239 .291 .404 RISP: .233 .291 .426 Career Bases Empty: .286 .357 .504 Runners on: .234 .303 .372 RISP: .219 .303 .348 RISP w/2 outs: .195 .290 .302 That's not a coincidence guys, and it's not due to small numbers of at-bats. Those are large sample sizes and a definitive trend. How can you look at those numbers and say he's not more or likely to suck in clutch stats than a guy like Franceour? Now, you can't look at every player in baseball and determine whether he's clutch or not, but for guys like Casey Blake, you absolutely can. In 2006, Casey Blake hit .281/.431/.526/.957 with RISP and 2 outs. He hit .282/.356/.479/.835 overall. Man, that guy is so clutch.

    I haven't seen much of Stanford, but they didn't look good last night. Not to mention Brook Lopez has to be the ugliest looking player in the NCAA. oh look, someone who has never seen Lorenzo Mata-Real

    No one will ever be able to prove it one way or the other. There's no reason to give an S, either. You can't build a team around clutch, because there's no way to say "well, this guy will be clutch this year!" and even if you could, it's not going to make a enough of a difference in a season that it's worth worrying about. frankly im sick of the stupid arguments, on both sides. If you're debating between two players, there are about a million things I would look at first before I got to wondering whether or not a player was clutch or not. Who cares about the handful of at bats where a players clutchiness or whatever matters when compared to the other 600 plate appearances where it doesnt? Just take the better player and hope he hits well in the 5 at bats he's going to see with 2 strikes and a runner on third with 2 outs down by one in the bottom of the ninth, or whatever.

    Z is hard to figure out. On one hand, he's the baseball player you'd probably most like to hang out with. On the other hand, he's the baseball player most likely to punch you right in the beak.

    Dear God, During 2006 I know I said some really mean things about Doug Davis because he really took a step backwards from 2005 and cost my fantasy team. At one point I'm pretty sure that I said "I wish (Doug Davis) was dead." It looks like he's going to be ok. Thanks for the try. Mad propers, IMB
