  1. Hooray! RISP average! Go ahead and argue that it's not something you can plan, but you have to admit it's why they've scored so many runs. 11th in ops and 7th in runs.
  2. Horray for a server that knows what time it is.
  3. Yet, with Baker boy there's a chance that we will HAHA. Or first.
  4. Sounds like the cubs aren't playing the indians next year
  5. I'll send you a brick. You send me $50. I promise it's from Wrigley. ;) If you, a cards fan, touched a brick, we'd have to stone you for sacrilige
  6. Boo. Anyone have anything against booing management?
  7. He's well eclipsed clinical obesity with a body mass index of 34.9 kg/m2; Zambrano is there too, at 30.2 kg/m2. Even though these ratios are not designed for athletes, I think it's safe to say Colon is pushing the envelope of health. Not just that, anyone over 6 feet is beyond what the BMI is supposed to judge. Also, anyone with a bulky build. And anyone with a high % of muscle mass. Any particularly small woman (not short, small), or an extremely short person will show up as anorexic if they're at a healthy weight. BMI sucks. It needs to be replaced with a non-linear scale, at least (to fix it for height, though nothing could fix the body-type issue.)
  8. That'd be difficult to separate, you'd have to decipher between fatigue and lack of clutch in starting pitchers, and inability and lack of clutch in relievers who are always in those situations. Yes, extremely difficult.
  9. they'll spend the next couple of weeks speculating about what the yanks and red sox will do in the offseason
  10. So how did they factor out the clutchness of pitching to get these numbers? find the few cases of hitters with many clutch situations against specific pitchers? that's an enormous potential source of static if clutchness exists in pitchers. If your clutch situations come up against clutch pitchers, you'll be average at best, if unclutch pitchers you'll be average at worst, and if clutchness doesn't exist for either... Anyway, the Cramer study doesn't even touch that.
  11. Wow, I mean, I think that's so obviously true that there's no way I would have assumed that's what you were disagreeing with. I'd give you 10:1 odds that if you stuck hendry in oakland years ago they wouldn't have done nearly as well. Maybe he's not actually smarter, but I think beane is clearly better.
  12. strike 2 on giambi was a nice pitch. Don't know why you wouldn't try to throw bellhorn out, it's not like he's speedy.
  13. In other news, cowher's head finally exploded as a stupid rule takes a fumbled punt away from the steelers
  14. espn radio announcer: erstad was a football player at the university of nebraska me :shock: espn radio announcer: he was a punter
  15. I guess I disagree, but you are certainly entitled to your opinion. You said he sees managers as "fungible" twice in this thread, it looks like you agree with poudre.
  16. the cinci game must have scared the crap out of the coaching staff.
  17. at least now orton gets to throw the ball some. see if the bears can do anything here edit: ok, and we can see now.
  18. No, that fumble was unbelievable.
  19. wow, that was horrible. 7 guys in coverage and he's WIDE open
  20. That's what, 50 yards of field position he cost the team?
  21. Wow! great blocking and running there. oh, and screw benson.
