  1. no one has mentioned Pete Rose's 4256 hits (or 10,328 outs)
  2. I didn't think you did, I was just questioning why it's officially Rule 5 why people say Rule V is wrong when it's the same damn thing. i don't know, but people get pretty snippy about it
  3. Ya, the four to one manpower ratio and unlimited supply of immigrant cannon fodder y'all had certainly didn't help our cause. i'm sory, I don't speak Dixie
  4. I love this notion of "LOOGY's don't exist," when clearly many managers (including our own) utilize one. It's not like Will Ohman is the tooth fairy or the Easter Bunny.
  5. I understand that LA has a "star power" image to uphold, but can they really market a disgruntled Kobe very well?
  6. Northerners = winners Southerners = losers White Sox = winners Cubs = losers a vote for Rocket is a vote for the Sox lost my vote truth hurts, eh?
  7. overnight voting was unkind to Bob
  8. ....for the Short Season leagues! the Northwest League and the New York-Penn League open their seasons tonight. Hopefully I can catch a Spikes game in the first few weeks here.
  9. i've been withholding my vote to see if I could turn this thing at the end, but Rocket has a double digit lead
  10. Hes out of options though, so after they call him up hes there to stay or they risk losing him. He also seems like an all or nothing guy at the plate from the last time I seen his stats. He has no idea how to take a walk. His OBP is terrible, but he's putting up a .932 OPS on the year. He's already got 19 homers on the year. I'm sure he could definitely put up better numbers than Skip Schumaker. Maybe he'd be a good player to use off the bench when you need a homer, a la G. Hill. funny that he doesn't know how to take a walk when he could right the book on issuing them
  11. okay I hope people don't seriously think I don't know that V is the roman numeral and not the letter. jesus christ people, it's just a simple question of semantics
  12. no, but it makes it easy to dismiss
  13. perhaps posts like this: are turning people against you
  14. well that answered nothing
  15. and to think, had he reached 57 he had a huge endorsement deal from Heinz....one short...
  16. B-R isn't always correct. :shock: i guess the next question is why so many people think it's the Rule V. Was it called this at one point? who can I blame? I want answers!
  17. baseball reference disagrees
  18. For a long time, I thought it was Rule V, then people (here) started correcting people and saying it was actually Rule 5. But I go to baseball-reference.com and it says Rule V. So which is it?
  19. i'd have to say no unless we also get a pre-cancer Big Cat um, are we forgetting we need a catcher in return? Kirt Manwaring plz we've got it all wrong. We can solve our SS problem with Walt Weiss while platooning Floyd with Ellis Burks in RF
  20. In all your optimism, you're forgetting that the Earth will not be able to support that sort of population if humans average a 107 year lifespan. If nobody dies, the population will continue to grow, and the quality of life for everyone will decrease. We will have more pollution, more waste, and new diseases, and therefore the average lifespan will decrease. I highly doubt that a 107 year average lifespan is possible. That is assuming there will be no wide scale population control, which is inevitable, IMO. or a job market. I was suddenly thrilled with my part-time wage job when I read that post-graduation there were 1.5 million new people in the US job market yet no one is retiring at 62 1/2 anymore
