  1. It's not a misunderstanding. It's a figure of speech. Almost all absolute terms are exaggerations in practice, to some extent. How many things that you call "worthless" are actually truly worthless? But if you want to make an argument about how wins aren't TRULY 100% meaningless when you know that the people who say they are aren't truly claiming that they have zero meaning to the letter of the dictionary definition of the word, go ahead. I don't disagree with your original point. I'll leave it at that.
  2. My team got Howry'd on yesterday. Was tied going into Sunday, too. Oh, well.
  3. Yea, but that was in 163 games.
  4. Does it scare anybody that some fluke K's here could lead to Howry getting more work and possibly earning a spot? Particularly given Lou's reluctance to give Guzman innings...
  5. I never expected it (the dominance) to last very long. Why would he struggle through the minors (though he started finding his way in Iowa) and suddenly be lights out in the majors? I'm glad he's having a nice run and he's got some nasty movement on his pitches, but Kevin Hart was unhittable last year, too. It's gonna take me a bit longer to be sold on him as a MLB pitcher. Getting hit hasn't been the problem though, he's been wild and walking too many, and we know how much Lou loves those walks. He may get a talkin' to. He was always shaky with the strikezone, which is part of the reason I didn't see it lasting very long.
  6. Can we stop using Howry, like, ever? I mean, granted, if there's a time to use him, it's with a 5 run lead, but considering Guzman hasn't gotten any work in 10 days, I'd rather he get the inning.

  8. Hell, even the 02 team got hot for Kimm. I don't really buy into it, but it is odd how that happens now and then.
  9. Dude, your avs totally jinxed us on OT. ;)
  10. I am FINALLY officially 100% on cruise control for this season. I thought I was earlier, but then the 8/9 losses were a real gut check.
  11. Morons at WSI think the Astros are tanking on pupose...presumably as some sort of protest, I'm guessing. Riiiiight.
  12. Screw it... bring in Pie and Fukudome to help try and preserve this thing (I know Edmonds just made a hell of a play but yea)
  13. I could totally see the guy that comes in to finish the AB with 2 strikes getting a hit..
  14. That's probably how it's supposed to be pronounced.
  15. lol he should just walk guys and go for the DP after every first out (j/k)
