    A guy who couldn't cut it as a closer, hadn't started in his nine years playing in the majors is now a winning starting pitcher. You don't find those that often either they can't hold up to the many more pitches or just didn't have it to begin with. explain Dempster

    Oh man, then I actually do feel bad for Sox fans that have to watch their broadcasts. Cause that guy was ridiculous. Green Suit Guy needs to have a cage match with Pink Hat Guy
  3. Derwood
    I'm guessing the reason is "none of the fans' business"

    Coke > Pepsi, but I avoid anything but clear soda these days

    when you face tougher teams, its harder to put up better stats. a fairly easy assumption i thought could be made about the point it was making OPS+ is league/park adjusted

    embiggened is a perfectly cromulent word

    1929 or 1930, something around there I believe. Probably didn't add as many homeruns as we'd think given the ridiculously large dimensions of those parks. you see a lot of balls bounce into the stand in RF at Fenway It was bigger in the the old days. I don't think the right field line was 302 or whatever it is now, until the 40's. i would check ballparks.com, but for some reason that site always crashes Firefox

    being 2nd place in the voting means nothing. the coaches aren't emboldened to pick Aramis over Wright because of the voting
  11. Derwood
    Ben Gordon might be available at the 2. Isn't he a FA or something like that? restricted FA, meaning the Bulls can match any offer
  12. Derwood
    oh, right, more 10:15 EDT starts. Guess I'm not watching much of this one
  13. Derwood
    what year did they stop counting ground rule doubles as homeruns?
  14. Derwood
    Peter Gammons' report on the throwing session (during Sun. Night Baseball) was that he looked great.
  15. Derwood
    if we leave St. Louis in 2nd place....THEN i'll be worried

    Gotta feel good for the green suit guy

    Cubs get all teh breaks

    losing to two teams with winning records. not desirable, but we aren't getting killed by the Royals and Giants here.

    I should've started Thome on my fantasy team today.

    I know you are the moral compass for the board, but all this started with Stone's comments on Soto. Thanks for the input though. i'm guessing that much of it is just game thread hyperbole actually. or the regular NSBB gut-reaction to anyone who is good on any team that isn't the Cubs

    I love that Quentin is automatically juicing because he's good. Nevermind that he was a great prospect that the D-Backs mysteriously gave up on who is entering his prime age. no, not that, clearly cheating :roll:
  22. Derwood
    Dammit, I wanted Trammel to get tossed too
  23. Derwood
    every interview should be like that. i'd love to hear this guy interview McCain and Obama
