not to mention its not as if Japan has San Diego-like weather. distance, and hence availible flights to Japan could. But Chicago has plenty of those too. -
I think alot of people get "qualities of cultures" mixed up with "stereotypes" Its on thing to say a culture adheres to certain qualities, its far another thing to say a person of that culture adheres to those qualities because of their association to that culture it can be true
-
he's a baseball player, not a samurai. Ever been to Japan? Yes. You're focusing on one stereotype when there's a bevvy of others that could just as easily not be applicable. thats not a stereotype. "the voice" is talking about a quality adhered to by a culture.

he's a baseball player, not a samurai. Ever been to Japan? no. and? "respect" permiates their culture, in business, social interactions, samurais, etc etc, as well as "excellance" thats not to say Fukudome adheres to that....

Which bar is that? I'm in Minneapolis. I think I may have seen a story on it sometime, but there's times when I might be able to sneak out to catch a half at a Bears place. Alary's. http://www.alarys.com There was an article in the Star Tribune last year as the founder played for the Bears in the 1940s. He passed away a few years ago and his son runs it. If you listen to KFAN they have some bits sponsored by Alary's and when LaVelle E Neal III comes on to talk Twins they often mention Alary and the Bears. It's a lot of fun. The pics are somewhat outdated, but some of the waitresses do answer the age old question of "what do strippers do on Sundays?" I'm at the reserved section of the bar counter between the two angriest fans. I'll definitely try to get the information from LaVelle, unless he's boycotted the Bears season already. I'm jealous. I'm in DT St Paul but still wont get to Alary's tonite

because getting to second does not mean all that much period. If Roberts went 30 for 30 in SB...(a ridiculous 100% success rate)....he would add about five and a half runs from the steals. That is not a significant number....and that's if he went 30 for 30! interesting so how far does that drop if you use is typical sb/cs rate?

Bill James: Clutch Hitting Might Exist
minnesotacubsfan replied to Bruno7481's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
is Statement 1 an arguement against the idea of "chokers"? -
WAIT WAIT WAIT....AND BEDARD??? ARE WE GETTING BEDARD???? I don't think he was really implying that nor do I see us getting him. It's not news that the Orioles are looking to have a fire sale, Bedard included. oic. had to ask.

I've been trying to get on their the last couple of days but you now have to be a member. Any of their insiders saying anything? Nothing really. Of course, the consensus there is that they want Hill + Pie for Roberts. If it's Gallagher, they want Gallagher + Pie + Patterson. I've learned since reading that board, that they expect a lot for their players. IC

Bill James: Clutch Hitting Might Exist
minnesotacubsfan replied to Bruno7481's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
thank you for this post, abuck. it was one of the clearest, most direct replies to one of my posts I can remember. I now understand the point you are trying to make. Haltz & abuck, I wanted to re-read the James article one more time before I made a final post. I understand your points of view, and I think you make some valid points, but it is still troubling to me the singularity of your argument. I guess we could go round and round, but I don't think it would be productive anymore. And if I read James' article correctly, then he is still shifting through all the nuances of the discussion. So, at this point, I just will wait patiently to here more from him (as I respect him a great deal in matters of baseball) before I can really think it through anymore. He has the time and resources to study this in more depth then any of us, I believe, anyway.
