1st and 3rd, one out. Come on Demp, get out of this.

Come on Demp, finish him.

For this transaction, Seth shall get nothing and like it! I think you might want to reread what I wrote. :wink:

I'd bet anything it belongs to Barry Bonds, but I'm not sure the record is. Ted Williams, 84 games in 1949. Please hand over all of your possessions. Since you live in Iowa City, it should be an easy transaction. Just out of curiosity, where did you find that? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_MLB_individual_streaks Thank you kind sir. You can talk to seth and he'll pay you any money I owe for that information.

Ugh. Come on Murton. You have to do better than that.

Lee extends his hit and on-base streaks. On this topic, what is the all time record for reaching base in consecutive games?

Stupid Nationals. Can't even beat the Brewers.

Crap. Abrupt end to a potentially big inning. Oh well.

There we go. 3-2 Cubs. Izturis got lucky there. Time to break this thing open. And Tracy is gone. HAHA.

Come on Soriano. Base hit should put Lilly in line for the win.

Thank you Jack Wilson.

Heh. Yeah, that was pretty funny.

Explain your sig please. It's from the win on Sunday.

Riot comes through again. Come on DLee.

How can you have a fantasy team with a .348 BA and a .362 OBP? Wouldn't you have a couple players that would bring that up?

I thought DLee hit that one out.

Looked like he barely missed Soriano.

Alright Riot!!

So you can steal second Soriano but you can't tag up and run home?

Ouch for Soriano.

Agreed.

Heh. That Seinfeld episode was great as was this move by Vernon.

An outfield of Soriano-Jones-Floyd vs RHP/Murton vs LHP gives the Cubs a better chance to win every day than Soriano-Jones-Floyd.

There wouldn't be a point to taking out his best starts, because what you really want is a guy who consistently goes out there and puts up quality starts. I don't know that Marquis fits that description, but I find it reasonable to remove a few real stinkers and leaving his best starts in there as an evaluation tool. To look at it from an extreme, a pitcher who shuts out his opponent 30 times in a season, but has 5 starts where he gives up 30 runs each is actually a pretty valuable pitcher, even if his ERA is going to be way up there because of those 5 starts. Why exclude his 5 best starts if you are just attempting to see what his body of work looks like if you exclude a small handful of really bad games? Pitchers are going to have really bad games that are outside their norm, but they're also going to have really good games as well. If you want to exclude the 2 worst performances as some sort of an aberration, then the 2 best should be considered the same. It's not very often that a pitcher allows 12 ER in a game and it's even more rare that he has a performance like that twice in a season. This is beyond an aberration. That being said, I wasn't trying to justify Marquis' contract or say that without those two starts he was a good pitcher. I was simply showing how much those two starts affected his ERA for the season. His ERA jumps by 0.69 just by him giving up 5 runs in those games. EDIT: His 2006 season was flat out bad no matter which way you look at it.
