No I'm not, you are!!! I'm glad the Sammy bashing has finally come to an end. :clapping:

I don't buy it, but I sure hope so.

Pirates' McClendon Steals 1st Base That is maybe my favorite ejection tantrum of all time.

yeah good point, those guys definitely don't know what they're doing. it's not like FJM was just voted the best sports blog of 2007. i mean that would generally tend to indicate that people find the site funny and enjoy going back there frequently and reading it, so it's a good thing that people didn't choose it as the best sports blog, or your argument would look pretty silly. This is the first piece I have read from FJM.com and my comment still stands. Maybe they have funny posts, but out of the entries I have read (only this one), it was not good quality or even remotely funny. Ironically, the same guy who claims that the story is full of cliches' piggybacks on almost all of the comments on every Cubs board regarding Theriot. There is no originality saying "Theriot's numbers are terrible." We all know that. And the fact that they were voted best sports blog in '07 means what? Citizen Kane was voted the best movie of all time, and many people can't stand it. In the future it would be stronger if you could actually defend the site yourself, instead of relying on other people's opinions. He made the statement about it being voted best blog of the year not to say how great of a blog it was, but that it shouldn't be a surprise that the blog is run by professional writers (which it is). You said it wasn't after having read one article that was mostly an inside joke that went over your head. Congrats on missing the point and still being wrong.

i swear if you bash sammy one more time i am going to lose it.

Neither, Murton's fire crotch. Made me get coffee up my nose, you jerk.

you might want to take a peak at the OPS rankings, then. aslo, stop bashing on Smammy, plz.

i is sorry that i dont pay attention to all previous post to the nth degree, but i am not paid to comprehend posts and reply to therm in a coherent way. aslo, please stop bashing Smammy.

When does Tony's vehicular homicide trial start in the Hancock case?

why are you bashing on Smammy Sosa because he always gave it his all and never failed to give 100% in all of his playing time for the Chicago Cubs and for the rest of his career in major league baseball. (not a professional post)

yeah i know, they should stick to the articles they usually make fun of, the articles about scrappy white players who play the game the right way. Agreed. And if they could actually make it funny, that might even be better. Uhhh...I'm confused. I also have no idea what point either person was trying to make. I'm hoping its some strange sarcasm tornado that went right over my head.

Why? Was Lou joking? He's said equally dumb things in the past and never went through with them. He's attempting to play mind games, to get the opposing managers and pitchers to worry about whether or not whoever is on second is going to steal. ...Lou is a shoo in for "Best Actor in a Managing Roll" if that is true. And now that you mention it he has said things like that and didn't follow through...but 20 bucks says Theriot starts the season batting 2nd.

I wouldn't mind referring to Ascanio as McCanio or just the more obvious McLovin for his duration with the Cubs.

Not a chance I'll let 'em get to me. I simply went to Theriot and told him what the numbers said and asked for his response. People don't see the interview process, but I hit him with stuff he didn't like. And unlike some of those people who like to analyze other people's work, my name goes on what I do. And I show up to face the people I write about. To be fair to Ken Tremendous, he did come out and reveal who he and the rest of their writers are about two weeks ago, even if he doesn't put his real name on every article like he should. Ken's shtick can only work on the internets right now, and he knows it. "Ken Tremendous (Michael Schur), Junior (Alan Yang), and dak (Dave King) are all TV writers. We live in Los Angeles, in places other than our mothers' basements. Please do not send e-mails to us about anything other than sports journalism." I thought Ken Tremendous was Mose Schrute? I had to google that to see who the heck that was. I've only seen the first two seasons of The Office, so I didn't know. But yes, the internets say you are also correct.

How high do you think I think it is? :grin: Mostly agree with you though. It's just that when someone says that they want to focus on something like stealing 3rd...I worry they don't just mean "we will steal 3rd base in the rare instance that it is both easy and worth it".
