  1. that's what I'm trying to figure out here. if 20 hypothetical players are worse, I would expect around 20 hypothetical players to be better and the other 160 hypothetical players to be pretty damn close to where they always are If 20 are worse, why even assume 20 are better? That makes absolutely no sense. If a certain subset of players is performing worse, it is a mathematical certainty that someone is performing better. And yes, collectively, the 180 players would be performing better. if you mean better than the 20 worst players, then I agree I mean that if the 20 "anti-clutch" players are collectively performing worse in high leverage situations than their otherwise expected performance, the other 180 players collectively are performing better in high leverage sitatuions than their otherwise expected performance. or 160 are performing and 20 others are performing higher. or 179 are performing the same and 1 is hitting 1.000 or whatever. baseball doesn't work this way
  2. MIL @ PIT (Bush vs. Gorzellany) NYM @ FLA (Perez vs. Volstad) STL @ HOU (Lohse vs. Wolf) LAD @ ARZ (Kuroda vs. Davis)
  3. i think haubrich has until noon Central time
  4. where's Meph when we need him? this is an absolute mockery of mathematical statistical analysis
  5. I love Matt Stairs. He would have fit in perfectly on an early 80's Brewers or Tigers team
  6. I can do a line by line breakdown after I get more coffee
  7. also, i can't vote for a song that has the line "It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not". FAIL
  8. They never backed down. Neither do the Cubs. /got nuthin Dont you get it? Tommy is Carlos Zambrano. Gina is Mike Fontenot. the image of Fontenot crying in the nighttime and Carlos whispering, "Baby, it's okay" is too much to fathom
  9. I think we can all agree: Florida is terrible
  10. I think DirecTV has 3, but I haven't checked the listings yet. Since there isn't any "regional" coverage with DirecTV, I imagine it will be on the guide here says (11 central): 610 - Youngstown State @ Ohio State 617 - Coastal Carolina @ Penn State 618 - Maine @ Iowa 620 - Western Kentucky @ Indiana 623 - Akron @ Wisconsin all are in HD on the -1 w00t! I talked to my dad and he says, "so, you think I can go up to the stadium and get a ticket to the PSU game for $20" and I told him to hold out for less. (face value is like $50)
  11. I still like the idea of a "Other Chicago Sports" sub-forum here that could contain Bulls/Bears/Blackhawks discussion
  12. I think DirecTV has 3, but I haven't checked the listings yet. Since there isn't any "regional" coverage with DirecTV, I imagine it will be on
  13. If the Cubs go to the WS, I'm skipping classes and work for a week no matter the consequences. If the Cubs go to the WS, I am skipping classes, taking off work and flying 1200 miles just to stand outside Wrigley so I can feel closer to it. Yep. If the WS is on the north side this year, I'll be standing out on Waveland for the games. Definitely. I'll basically camp down there for the series. You and about a million other people
  14. 389? He hit it 10 rows deep just to the left of the 400 foot sign? that's crazy
  15. MLB.com has the Fontenot HR and the Ramirez HR. link? I'm only finding video for the Victorino RBI single EDIT: Nevermind, found it
  16. i missed everything due to the DNC. Please, please, please post the video highlights somewhere soon!
  17. My dad is 5'8" and my mom is 5'6" ... I'm 6'4"-6'5"ish I'm a full head taller than the rest of my family
  18. what do Tommy and Gina have to do with the Cubs?
  19. my wife will be at the game in Dallas for "work"
  20. I had to go to Coastal Carolina's website to find out that their mascot is the Chanticleer, "the crafty quick-thinking rooster from Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales ". that's a top 10 worst mascot ever
  21. only 4 syllables in your first line. way to kill the thread
  22. Isn't Cuban from Pittsburgh? 2 + 2 = 6 Sorry, I wasn't trying to imply that Cuban was/wasn't the buyer. I think they're representing Zell, or are just a 3rd party between Zell and whomever the buyer is. Either way, my friend has his 3rd year of Law School to finish and won't start until October 2009, so he won't be involved. The good news (for me) is that his firm has skyboxes at both PNC and Heinz Field and he promises to bring me to many many games
  23. Possibly NSFW, Definitely Awesome
