  1. 7-10 is Brett Myer's record, and coincidentally also the punishment for wife-beating in Pennsylvania.
  2. Seattle in 2001. Their run differential was +300. Insane. I guess that's what happens when you win 116 games.
  3. Probably because we had 3 righties due up... Then why double switch at all?
  4. So riddle me this, NSBB. Why did Manuel double switch Eyre in and not use him this inning?
  5. I hate how Victorino's helmet covers like 90% of his head.
  6. LOL, a Comcast commercial just made fun of Berkman for being scared of lightning.
  7. There seems to be some disagreement over the definition of a clutch player. Should it be defined absolutely or should it be defined relative to a player's average? Really, I can see it both ways. MSG T makes a good argument for the relative version, but consider a hypothetical player that hits a HR in every AB during low-leverage situations, but only hits a HR half the time in high-leverage situations. Is that player clutch or not?
  8. You are wrong. No, I'm right. Assume that leaguewide median expected performance is a .750 OPS. Assume that there are 20 hitters and pitchers that are anti-clutch performers who are worse in high-leverage spots -- the 10 pitchers in this group collectively have a .900 OPS against in high-leverage spots (but would otherwise expect to be at .750) and the 10 hitters in the group have a .600 OPS in high leverage spots (but would otherwise expect to be at .750). As a matter of mathematical certainty, the remaining hitters will have a collective OPS in high leverage spots of greater than .750 and the remaining pitchers will have a collective OPS in high leverage spots of less than .750. It is not a mathematical certainty. Your .750 OPS assumption is all-encompassing for both high and low leverage situations. You can't use an assumption built from all situations and apply it to just one situation (high leverage situations). It's like saying: The median number of kids for families throughout the world is 1.7. Therefore in China, if there's a family with 1 kid, then there must be a family with 2 kids.
  9. Game thread starter, please make it happen.
  10. No, it will be the other way around. The big league team takes priority so guys who are needed like Hoffpauir, Guzman and Pie will be up immediately. Guys like Fox, Deeds, Fuld, W. Castillo, Ceda, etc. might get moved up to AAA to take their place. It must suck to be a fan of a AAA team.
  11. Really, with the season the Cubs are having, just let them stay.
  12. You're gonna look awfully foolish when the Cubs lose their next game 193-0.
  13. If there needs to be a bad song, it must undoubtedly be You're The Best from The Karate Kid.
  14. They did that in case of instant replay. :lol: :lol: :lol:
  15. Yeah, she was on Survivor or one of those shows and is most knon for taking off her clothes for peanut butter and chocalate or something. Sweet, I got some JIF around.
  16. Hey Cubs. Do well so we can clinch at home.
  17. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rCPwhC6R8A
  18. If they had not traded away Sabathia, where would they sit? I don't think it'll be a stretch to say they might be 5.5 games out with him.
  19. I remember his HR against Jose Contreras at 1:13. He pretty much golfed that ball out of there.
  20. 7 IP, 5 H, 3 Ks, 0 BBs. No, I think he meant Jason Marquis.
