    There just seem to be a group of people who seem to resent sabermetrics, Moneyball, whatever you want to call it, and will go to lengths to somehow defy its logic or prove it wrong. Joe Morgan is the spokesman for this movement

    Read my stuff over the past few weeks. I constantly mention it and ask about it. How do you know nobody has asked about it? I ask about it every day and write about it more than anybody. This is an organization that clearly thumbs their noses at stats. fixed /woah, did I just "fix" Bruce? //runs Uh, I didn't write "thumbs their noses at stats." They don't. They just seem to value the wrong ones. i know, sorry. It's a thing we do here, editing each others posts. Didn't intend to misrepresent you. When I realized whose post I had edited I immediately went to fix but it was too late. It won't happen again.

    playoffs, shmlayoffs. I'll take the risk on a multiple Defensive Player of the Year. Risk, shmisk, right? I'm sure he'll be every bit as dominant at 35, 36, 37 - just like Antonio Davis. how old was Rodman from 96-98?

    I'm curious who the cardinals are predicted to be taking in the mock drafts (as the Spikes roster will be almost entirely June draftees)

    should I rename it the 2006 March of Progress?

    Someone asked me to make this for them for their sig, but it turned out pretty well so I thought I'd post it. I don't know if it's funny or sad. http://www.simleaguebaseball.com/derwood/suckometer.jpg

    especially considering that firing Baker will in no way improve the team's performance on the field. It will get people to put the torches and pitchforks down, however.

    I'm pretty sure Steinbrenner has a blank check already signed for him

    They have to show SOMETHING between Barry Bonds at-bats and Duke Basketball!

    that DP was so predictable I could just puke

    The irony is that he lost Nomar by pursuing Furcal, but LA ended up with both.

    What a joy it would be to see Rothschild, Sarge, Clines and Baker get fired. He'll fire Dick Pole

    Thanks for the reminder -- I forgot to put Jeff Weaver on my list. he of the Rusch-esque 1-7, 7.30 ERA, 1.64 WHIP? What about him?

    So my friend is over (also a Cubs fan) and before we go out to eat we check the score online. 4-3 Cubs. I say "They'll lose by the time we get home". We come home, check ESPNews, Cubs lose 5-4. I start laughing. He is pissed. Apparently I've already conceded the season while my poor friend holds out hope.

    I recently witnessed a Clines hitting session. It went something like this: CLINES: Okay Matt, we need you to be agressive out there. I know you like taking pitches, but that only gets the pitcher's confidence up. So let's try this again. MURTON: CLINES: C'mon now! Why didn't you swing at that? MURTON: It was 2 feet out of the zone CLINES: Zone, Shmone. If you can reach it by stepping across the plate and diving, it's in the zone cracker! Not let's try this again. CLINES: MURTON: CLINES: Gawd almighty! You some kinda ginger kid? Swing at that! MURTON: You almost earholed me! CLINES: You need to change your panties now? Pull that bat back and tomahawk that ball! CLINES: MURTON: CLINES: That's my boy!

    ...with the suicide hotline? sorry, it was the first thing that popped into my head. Evil thoughts :twisted:

    Berkman Biggio Ensberg Clemens Oswalt Pettitte Lidge Need any other reasons?
  21. Derwood
    I'm taking that as a challenge. Murton and Pierre have both hit home runs in each of their last 23 at bats. It's true. I didn't say false. I just said useless. The poor horse has been beaten so much that he's just a pile of mush
  22. Derwood
    That was the most useless 3 pages of posts I've read since the last Jack Bauer thread

    I hope that Gene Stocker and Edgar Snyder get some ad space! oh i'm sure they will. Snyder's got big billboards on I-99 now http://www.edgarsnyder.com/images/home-main-promo.jpg

    anyone else notice Hanley Ramirez is the NL batting leader? :shock:
  25. Derwood
    with Hendry we can only speculate that he is somehow trying to defy metric-based scouting. It's a well known fact that Morgan is anti-Moneyball. There would be no speculation with him
