    Sorry for the off topic post; But wow, did dusty actually say that? :cry:

    Billy Beane: .219/.246/.296 Meanwhile, out of all these guys, Gary Matthews had the best numbers with a .364 career OBP. Means nothing in terms of their coaching ability/philosophy. Exactly; teaching baseball is different then teaching math. If you teach math, you HAVE to be able to do math. But to teach baseball, you dont necissarily have to be the best baseball player. I am confident that I could do a better job (as could 75% of the people here) of stressing plate discipline and such than these clowns; and i'd probably hit about .003/.003/.003.

    Well, hopefully this is the mandatory vote of confidence before the firing. But, something tells me that no; Jim Hendry is just that stupid. It really confuses me how he can pull off some downright amazing trades (hundly,Aram,Nomar/murton) and then turn around and be a complete idiot.

    Out. That kid did a superb job of blocking the plate.

    Oh, and as for the "wins are overrated" argument. I totally agree. On a year to year basis. Yea, every year you see a pitcher who really isnt that great hit 15-20 wins (see Estes, Ortiz) because his team scores for him alot. But as the years drag on you wont see those guys repeat those performances. If someone reaches 300 wins, they're studs.

    Spoken like a true Cub fan. huh? Explain to me how a pitcher who goes out there and posts up 7 shut out innings and gets a no decision doesn't get recognized for his performance, but Mark Buehrle can give up 7 runs in the 1st and still win his game. Its a pretty lame stat. Maybe the lamest of all. I think quality starts should be the determining factor, along with ERA, K/9 and BB/9 He was making a joke about how the cubs dont win.

    Well, lets see... I can either watch people i dont care about drive in circles or watch the braves trot in circles around the bases. yay. Damnit, why couldnt i have worked today and been off tomorrow, i hate my life.
  8. Roast
    Well, if you care (i dont) the cubs are playing the braves. Ryu will make his first career start (sporting a 9.00 era, btw) while smotltz will make his eighty thousandth career start (3.12 ERA). For the rest of us who are looking for something more exciting to do. I propose this: Watching Paint Dry!!!

    Wanna know whats worse? The most money Babe Ruth ever made in a single season was $80,000 in 1931. $80,000 in 1931 is equal to just over a million dollars in spending power in 2004 dollars. Neifi Perez is making 2.5 million this year.

    Gather around children, let me tell you all a story. Today am sitting in study hall reading one of my Local Newspapers (The TIMES) when I suddenly came across one of the most amazing(ly bad) articles ever. You can read the whole article HERE Here are some highlights: I dont even know what to say.

    There is no way Sosa would come back. He was treated like absoloute crap before he left. I dont think you could pay me enough to come back.
  12. Roast
    My god. Tony Larussa could take a crap on the field, and the piece of feces would pitch a perfect game and hit for the cycle. I hate my life.

    Suicidal Thoughts - Notorious B.I.G. Ok so the lyrics have nothing to do with it; but the title fits pretty well.
  15. Roast
    already a thread about this in baseball discussions.
  16. Roast
    Yeah like we all didnt see this coming.
  17. Roast
    oh, he just stole second, btw.
  18. Roast
    And patterson just walked on 4 straight. Hooray for OBP.
  19. Roast
    I got dibbs on right. My hero played there, i have a good pretty acurate arm, and i can switch hit better than neifi perez.
  20. Roast
    Nor does he have to worry about our terrible hitting coaches.
  21. Roast
    What is it with this coaching staff? I remember when he had no clue how to steal a base here. Now, he's stolen in 13 out of 14 attempts. He's hitting .300, and only has 19 or whatever k's on the year. I hope they dont do to murton what they did to Patterson. Sadly though, they probably will.
  22. Roast
    Yes, because he cant possibly be *gasp* good. And 2003 HAD to be a fluke.
  23. Roast
    Because K's isnt a big deal when you are getting on base at such a high rate. (see, adam dunn. 54 K's .380+ OBP) Or hell, in this case, see corey patterson: 2 more k's, seventy more points of OBP.
