    no, i just remember how you dropped him and i picked him up off the waiver wire and offered him to you in a trade and you threatened my life.

    brian is interested in percival.

    i think, given the results of that suntimes survery thing, hoffpauir should henceforth be called hoffpure.
  4. abuck1220
    no personal attacks.
  5. abuck1220
    no, he was in street clothes. if he was going from the ballpark to a restaurant later that day, that's what he would have worn.

    because it's weird for a guy who was in the all-star game to wear an all-star game shirt that he probably got for free. it just is. it's like wearing your gus macker shirt to school on monday after you played in the gus macker over the weekend. except 1,000 times more weird.

    i saw bradley leave hohokam during spring training wearing a 2008 mlb all-star game t-shirt which made me think a lot less of him. also, some kid asked for his autograph and he said "my wife just had a baby two days ago, can i go home please?" in a real [expletive] way. kid should have thrown a water bottle at him. but yeah, the dude can hit.
  8. abuck1220
    Due to the oblique injury? yes. he threw for the first time since the injury on monday. said he hoped to go to daytona after extended ST.
  9. abuck1220
    according to cashner, he will start in extended ST.

    koskie left the field with the trainer.

    you don't bury survivors.

    is it hidden in your post like the da vinci code or something? i'm dying to know.

    even a high school dropout can see that.
  15. abuck1220
    dude, their payroll is like $150 mil. in baseball terms, a difference of ~$3 mil isn't much.
  16. abuck1220
    what are you talking about? derosa makes more than two times what miles makes. if you're gonna bitch about trading derosa and signing miles (which is perfectly valid) in the offseason, at least have the facts straight. wait, you're the guy who was arguing about how successful high school dropouts are, right? all the sudden you're a stickler for pin point accuracy when it comes to numbers?
  17. abuck1220
    it's like he's a considerably worse, comparably priced version of say mark derosa.
  18. abuck1220
    um...really? So the day he steals the base that puts him over the break even point, there's no longer any risk associated with future SB attempts and he should run at every opportunity? Is that really what you're saying or am I misunderstanding? Um... yes. really. If the runner has amassed a SB% that exceeds the breakeven point by running at every single opportunity, then you continue to run him at every single opportunity. Or, if you prefer real life situations instead of impossible hypotheticals.... then if the runner has amassed a SB% that exceeds the breakeven point by running only in certain situations, then you continue to run him in those same certain situations. This goes to the definition of what a "breakeven point" is. There will be times when the runner is thrown out, and runs are not scored that might have otherwise. They will be outweighed by the times that the runner is successful and runs will be scored that otherwise would not be realized. If the percentage exceeds the breakeven point, then there is no risk. Math isn't that hard. Don't try to make so. Yikes. ok. In order to determine whether a runner has hit the 75% point, do we use career stats? Just ML career? the last season? truffle gets to decide.
  19. abuck1220
    I was quoting stats from the last 9 starts of 2003, not the last 3. Reading comprehension is your friend. Look at some of those pitch counts. You can't tell me that didn't play a significant factor in his arm troubles. But Meph said it didn't (with no data to back it up), so it must be true and he did it with really witty sarcasm (lol jeopardy, get it?).
  20. abuck1220
    and then dribbling it through the hole between 2b and 1b that has inexplicably been left open by the other team.
  21. abuck1220
    no and his stolen base percentage in the bigs is 76.8%, there's nothing wrong with that. yeah he sucked at it last year but i'm not going to knock down his OBP last season because nobody gave him extra credit for his success in stealing bases the previous year. yeah, that's not how it works. and i did give him extra credit for it in 2007, so can you knock down his 2008 for me?
  22. abuck1220
    oh what the hell. cashner.
