  1. if not for his brilliance in ot it doesn't even go to the shootout I'm just glad Khabi is still a Hawk. :roll: even after a great game in net you have to find a way to trash huet :scratch: :scratch: :scratch: :scratch: :scratch: :scratch: what, was he not good tonight? especially considering he took a nasty headshot
  2. Wind would be one factor in the lucky HR's, but it also seems that humidity/air density is taken account for possibly. As for the just enough's he's talking ten feet above the top of the wall OR a ball that lands closer to the wall than the wall is tall. I.e. it lands three feet beyond the wall but it's a 10 foot wall. i'm pretty sure all home runs that were hit off howry were counted as lucky as well
  3. i don't know but in bill james' handook he had derosa with the most "lucky" home runs last season, and it certainly seemed like a lot of his shots were wind aided
  4. well according to meph he had like a 10% chance of ever turning into a great hitter so i guess the odds of him doing it 2 years in a row are like 2%. i'm pretty sure there's a complex formula that proves this.

  7. yeah keep smiling kane. you missed 2 goalden opportunities in ot
  8. http://www.sarahspain.net/images/fgurlacher.jpg Who doesn't love Sarah Spain when she wears this? http://www.televisioninternet.com/news/pictures/sarah-spain-1.jpg http://www.televisioninternet.com/news/pictures/sarah-spain-1.jpg nuff said
  9. I want Fontenot starting against lefties as well just so we don't have a 100% RH lineup against lefties. I don't think that's good
  10. lolol i turned it on right at the end of the music video... "bye byyyyyyeeee". wtf is going on
  11. seems like a pretty good time to post this oh, and im in love with sarah spain
  12. am i missing something? he's gven up one goal
  13. I don't think everybody liked the idea of Heilman, just not the trade itself. It seemed like he should have come cheaper. Olson is not great, but he should have had more valuable than a reliever coming off a horrible season.
  14. I'd like to keep it at a 10 team league, but we'll see how it works out. I won't go past 12. AVG R RBI SB HR OPS W SV K ERA WHIP BB/K We need a few more so I figured I'd post it on here to see if I can find somebody. I'm not sure if people would be comfrotable sending 20 bones to a stranger, but you don't have to worry about getting ripped off. The draft is set for Sunday the 29th at 7 PM ET, but I just started the league and we could move that around once everybody is in and we know what works for most people. PM me if you want in and I'll give you the ID and stuff.
  15. well when we're talking about the number two slot, to me obp means a whole lot more than slg. which is why i think he's a great 2 hitter. that and the fact that he can move runners over, hit to the right side on a hit and run, etc. "Give your "best hitters" the most opportunities in a lineup". that's a flawed theory. by that logic, your best hitter will bat leadoff and always bat after your worst hitters, which will result in fewer chances to drive in runners. nobody said you have to construct your whole lineup like that. fukudome should get on base just as much as theriot next season, probably more
  16. So you're already congratulating yourself on something that hasn't even been proven yet. You're way ahead of schedule
  17. lol If you're being unbiased I don't see how you can say there was nothing wrong with what he said. He basically admitted that he sat out on days he could have played because he didn't want his numbers to take a hit because it might cost him money the next season. How is that "telling it like it is"? Shut up Milton. We're tryng to like you. Just shut up. If he's not putting up good numbers then he's hurting his team. except that's not what he said. he specifically said that he sat out to help his numbers and future paycheck.
  18. Theriot needs to bat 8th. why? Because hes not that good? among regulars he led the team in both average and obp last year. if that's "not that good" then what are the rest of the players? better convincing argument. theriot is good in his own ways, and obviously has deficiencies as well. but to say that the guy who got on base more than every other player on the team last year "isn't that good" is just stupid. depends on how you interpret "isn't that good". i don't think that he meant theriot is bad. really, a .746 OPS isn't that good. his obp was very good, but obp isn't everything. it's nice to hit yourself past 1st base every once in a while. more than anything though, i don't expect him to match his avg/obp from 08. i think he'll be more .290/.360
