Use your indoor voice, Jesse. Ok im done arguing with Cubs fans.. I guess everyone was right when they said don't even try to argue with them because they think there always right.. Well im out of here... And if the Cubs fans were so smart how come they have no won a world series in 100 years? Thats pretty amazing... But nice talking with you guys.. I can see why this message board is a piece of [expletive]... But its ok.. Good luck this year.. Playing for 2nd place should be fun (brewers). And I know the Pirates suck, but if we spend 100 million every off season we could buy this division also.

We're not saying you're entirely wrong, you just haven't provided the strongest arguement. im saying hes entirely wrong. Of course.. Your God i forgot.

Your right.. Numbers mean everything.. Have you seen the way you figure out NFL quarterback ratings? So that is a good way to judge a quarterback? Just because im not sitting here arguing numbers does not mean I am wrong..... it just means im not that big of a [expletive] idiot to argue with a bunch of Cubs fans who... by the way KNOW EVERYTHING

Wow very good 3rd grade comeback... Did you pick that up from the Kids you teach? No. They're a little sharper than that. For example they know the correct forms of they're, their, and there. Most of them know the difference between quite and quiet too. Ha im right, and because im not a good typer that means I don't know anything about baseball.. you guys are AMAZING...I want to be JUST LIKE YOU GUYS. Do you think I could meet you guys and get your autographs? Because that would be cool. And maybe I could take a couple video's to show my kids... I dunno just a thought.

Ok I will remember that....he is God.. because he posts on a Cub message board alot. Gotcha and also LSU > UF Of course, LSU is better than UF. Check out the sig. And no, he's usually right because he has an outstanding understanding of the metrics that determine the value of a baseball player. Ok.. Metrics don't determine how good a baseball player is lol. Just numbers. They are a very good indicator of how well a player will perform and how important to his team he is. Does it determine the pitchers he is facing? The ball park he is in? There are SO many more factorts then that. Guys, Jessie figured it all out. The King is dead, long live the king. Is that all cubs fan know? Smart ass comments? What team are you a fan of, smart guy? Pirates :banghead: Just don't tell anyone :beg: Well, since you're a Pirates fan, please don't play the "watch the game" card again. We know you'd have a tough time recognizing good players since you don't see them except on the team your team is playing. Yup your right... I never watch any good players.. Attack my team and who i am nice. I don't have a job to watch every game I possibly can and tell what I think about it, your right... I dont watch ANY OTHER BASEBALL GAMES IN MY LIFE. You guys are saying who the best players in baseball are and telling me I dont watch any baseball, god.. you guys are GOOD. :good: I think you played the "I watch the game" card first. But glad you realize how stupid an argument it is, since it's quite likely that most who are diehard fans enough to post on a message board watch a lot of games. Or they could be total hicks who have nothing better to do with there lifes and think they know everything.

hes going to get 15-20 HRs minimum and 40-50 doubles. give him a .300 BA (pretty likely) and 70-80 walks (pretty likely) that makes him comparable to JD Drew in 2006..which was a .300 EqA. and Fred Lynn (career .297 EqA). He has not hit once in MLB and you just say all this will happen.. Amazing... Im not saying he's going to hit that. I'm saying it's the most likely line of production from him. There's a difference. You said "he is going to" as in.. no doubt in your mind.

There are SO many more factorts then that. The more advanced ones attempt to do that, or at least neutralize the effects in comparing players. But all it is is numbers.. Why don't they just figure out a system to figure out what team is the best.. then We won't even have to play the games. Because probabilistic outcomes are just that...probabilistic. But there not 100% so you cant just sit there and assume everything.

Quit with the personal attacks. You've called me a dumbass about five times. For all your bitching and moaning about be being mean not once have I gone out and personally attacked you. A lot of people know what EqA is. Not many know what EqA means. No you havn't but You talk and the things you say are basically saying that you are better then me. Stop talking down to me like you know me.

What is it? Why do I have to sit here and prove to you that I know what it is

Yeah Im getting destroyed... You're acting like a 8 year old.. and I say something and you say NA UH!! "I got numbers, im right". And Im just saying Ok its your opinion but I disagree with it.. Along with 29 other baseball franchises that would take him in a heart beat. Yeah well someone keeps signing jose macias so im pretty sure the fact that major league teams do it, it does not make them smart. im pretty sure you have no idea how to respond to my post refuting yours. So you went "OH I AM DROPPING IT SO I DONT LOOK BAD" Disclaimer: I am not insulting your intelligence. Ok listen.. I don't want to sound like a smart-A$$ or anything..I could sit here and argue with him all I want... But its pointless.. Im not trying to drop it so I look bad or anything.. You can throw numbers at me all you want.. its not going to change the face that, what he said is stupid and wrong. I don't want to make a bad impression.. and alot of ppl would agree with me that he is a good right fielder. So Im sorry if I upset anyone. You must think that Winston Churchill does not exist. A recent poll in England found that 20% of British Teens think that Churchill did not exist. A lot of people would agree with you on that one...but then again a lot of people can and are wrong all the time. I'm wrong, you're wrong we're all wrong at some point and time. It's perfectly fine for you to admit you are wrong. In fact my biggest beef about this conversation is the fact that you do not even care. You're saying OOH PROJECTIONS SUCKS AND HE'S GOOD when it is quite clear that you have no idea what EqA and the like are. I would be a lot nicer if you said something along the lines of "what's Eqa? Im not very knowledgeable on the subject and would be interested in learning more about why it shows that Francoeur is a trashy outfielder?" Then I could respond in a nice lengthy discussion of the reasoning behind it. Of course you didn't you just acted like a broken answering machine (an answering machine was popular before cellphones. It was basically a machine that recorder messages from a caller when you werent there, much like the service on your cellphone today). Here we go again with the Im better then you smart ass cocky answers... I know what Eqa is you dumb ass. But you just keep sitting there and looking at your stats that know EVERYTHING. Its working for ya ;)

JessE... and Is he always right? Or does he argue with you, until you get so sick of even trying to argue that you just give up.

What do you have that supports your arguments? That you have MLB EI and watch more games? That you played in college/high school? Sometimes the numbers...are the facts. And the fact that people agree with you means nothing. At one point in time it was a great idea to look at HR and RBI's as the sole offensive statistic and a lot of people thought it was the gospel truth. Thats been proven wrong. Again... I don't want to fight with everyone...But I don't just look at triple crown numbers trust me.. .But honeslty.. sit down and think.. He is only 24... If I wanted to I could come on here and say Felix Pie is the worst CF in baseball...But no one could convince me that he is the 2nd worst RF in baseball.

LOL.. look it up...

What happened to being quiet? Who is talking to you?
