    Where's the "both" option?

    Farnsworth: 16 saves, 2 blown saves, 1 loss. (19 holds too, for the record) Lidge: 42 saves, 4 blown saves, 4 losses. Lidge is better than Farnsworth, but he's also lost more games for his team this season than Farnsworth has. Hmm 35 times in a save situation and 2 blown, vs 42 and 4 blown... Conclusive proof, lidge=gutless choking dog, farnsworth=clutch save king.

    I don't think anyone here thinks that it's a bad idea for a manager to have livan throw more pitches than other pitchers. I don't think anyone here thinks that it's a bad idea to have zambrano throw more than maddux. I don't think anyone would disagree that different people have different arms, different capacities for throwing, and different stress points. But I think there's some merit to the idea. The problem with implementing it as a useful stat is figuring out which pitchers deviate from the median, and to what degree. And how do you do that without letting them throw their arm in half in the first place?

    Out of print and extremely expensive to get used, it seems.

    Take a piece of metal. Bend it enough (say, 20 times) and it will wear and then break. Now let's say this piece of metal is self-repairing (like, say, your arm). Bend it 20 times in 5 minutes and it still breaks. Bend it 10 times one day, 10 times 5 days later, and it hasn't broken. Maybe it can heal that much in 5 days. Bend it 11 times per 5 days and in a few months you've got a broken piece of metal. If the season is only 2 months long, you're still probably ok. Bend it 13 times per 5 days and in just over 1 month you've broken it.

    Yes. Mexico City is at an altitude of over 6,000 ft. It would produce conditions more severe than Coors Field. Monterrey would be a much better choice. Would players want to live in Mexico? Would a larger number of ticket-buyers offset the lower ticket prices?

    Most of my Sox fan-friends from Chicago root for the Cubs. Sox-fan aquaintances, on the other hand, are annoying. I was happy for the people at the game with me, they saw a great game with what was, for them, a great outcome. Of course, the 20 or so Astro-supporters in the stadium were pretty unhapppy at the end.

    Good point....Good teams almost always take advantage of extra outs. I suppose you could turn that around and say they became a good team because they did well with all the extra outs. It's mostly being doubly lucky. Give them those situations again and odds are against the grand slam, etc. Proof that a little luck can go a long way.

    Hey, we play in the snow, too. Speaking of which, there was a tiny bit of snow getting mixed in with the rain. And it hailed on us on the way to the game.

    Quite a musical weekend at the cell. That woman saturday, the anthem sunday, and they played "mm-bop" before the game. I thought I would never hear it again, but I did. So I got there at 4:30 and left after 10:30. I saw 3 people wearing astros items, total. What's up with houston fans? Scared of the cell? No one around me had any idea that dye wasn't actually hit with the pitch. The cell was silent most of the game (until the konerko HR, of course), except for the constant prodding of the PA system and the incredibly loud commercials they play between innings. Commercials? when did this start?

    The truth.

    I've never seen in Hairstons stats 60 steals I dont know. wish the Cubbies were in the Series....... or 23 CS. His baserunning hurts the team. and his 60 steals help the team thats still 37+, which is well above Hairston........ The point is that the 23 hurt the team more than the 60 help. The white sox would score more runs if he never tried to steal at all

    Why would fox think that the best angle to see a HBP is an angle where you can't see the ball at impact?

    We already used all the cubs comparisons on the angels.
