    Same. I was younger than Brandon though.

    I am 99% certain there is a seeding process wherein the wild card is always below any division winner regardless of record. I assumed the same, just didn't know if they made a change with the 2 wild card system.

    Wait, how different do you think baseball stats are now vs. 11 years ago? The smarter baseball fans are in tune with sabermetrics at places like Northside Baseball. Nomar was a pretty bad player in 2004 before he got traded to Chicago (-0.1 WAR lol), I guarantee you the reaction would be completely different had it happened now compared to 11 years ago. BP and BR were already around and well established at that point; it's not like it wasn't obvious he was coming back from an injury. He had also shown, just the year before, that when he wasn't injured he was one of the most valuable players in the game. I mainly remember people talking about OBP/OPS on here. Folks weren't talking much about defensive metrics or park adjusted stats, etc. A lot of that stuff existed but not on free Internet sites at the time. I'm pretty sure OPS+ was the stat du jour, and that's park and league adjusted.

    I know I'm ahead of myself, but is home field advantage determined by straight up record in the NLCS? Or would a division champ always get it over the wild card? i.e. Is there value in the Dodgers and/or Mets losing games to us beyond the fact that we'll overtake the Cardinals anyway?

    saddest thing i ever read

    Take a look at what K-Rod did for the Angels in the playoffs as a rookie and then get back to me. Guess who was on that coaching staff that made that gutsy call to bring up K-Rod? It's so weird that he was Scioscia's bench coach.

    Rick Wilkins Derrick May Doug Dascenzo Jerome Walton Not an attempt at a gotcha, just piling on to show how awful things were even when going to extremes.

    This is probably why Kaplan is leaving.

    I..uh..what? Is this a mojo parody? or Derwood? I'M CONFUSED. Ughhhh now I am doubting my memory and I know that if I search "Edwards" and "Black" I'm going to get a lot of Corey. Was that not Mojo or Derwood? DID I MAKE THIS UP It was me...but it was only like 3 months after we acquired him.

    How did you make it through college without Ramen though? I just stopped eating it at 3 AM.
  15. SouthSideRyan
    You only throw up undigested Ramen noodles out your nose once.

    He'll be stumping for Huckabee any day now.

    Was he busy talking about how the umpire was the son of William Mckinley's grand-niece?

    Huh, I wonder what they're gonna do with him? http://www.stain-guide.com/images/tar-stain-removal.jpg http://ajarnjohn.com/wp-content/gallery/hover/bird-feather.jpg

    The absolute worst of deadspin. Yeah, that's not even close to the absolute worst from deadspin. I meant in a representative way. Obviously they've [expletive] out worse.
  22. SouthSideRyan
    That sounds crazy low. Don't commit to older seasons and pay him below market value?

    David Garner isn't a real person.

    I was fine with the talent given up for Hamels in a vacuum but if they insisted on a catcher, it would've required some B2B massaging. ETA: I also would've been fine with free James Shields.
