    It wouldn't work because nobody would spell Francoeur right. I mean, people had 8 years to learn "Ramirez" and still eft it up...

    This will never stop being hilarious.

    Yep, this, pretty much.

    Blame IMB. I drive an E Honda Cammy Am I doing this right? I tried to figure out how to get Sodom in there, and there's just no way.
  5. Warpticon
    Yeah, I definitely want that guy.

    =D> I was trying really hard to figure out how to use Chun-Li. Well done. Gen-ius at work.

    Theo could have signed him if he'd used just a bit more Guile. Should've given the guy a Blanka check. That would have been totally Dhalsim The rules were kind of Vega, but Ken they try again next year? If the situation Rose again, they might be Abel to. At least, that's what a little Birdie told me.

    Sure there is; those championships are all but meaningless in name only. They just flushed out most of the key players right after each one, and everyone is as apathetic as possible about this team. Sure, they won...but who cares? Yeah, who cares? It's not like they beat any other teams on the way to those titles OH WAIT

    fat pitcher name.

    He's an average late inning guy who's never been worth more than 1.3 WAR and he'll be 30 at the beginning of next season. They're paying over $7 MM per year to a guy who shouldn't be getting more than about $3-4 MM max. For the money he's being paid, yes, he's a bad player. He has a combined 3.5 WAR over the last 4 years. $5 mm per year to fill a gaping hole, okay, but to sign him to that deal when he hasn't even hit the open market is asinine. So in other words, he's not a bad player but they overpaid the market for him. His best season is 4/5 of an Ian Stewart and he makes 8 Ian Stewarts of money.

    Tell us more about the opportunity cost of playing Stewart instead of some surer thing, Like Nobody McDoesntexist.

    Trolling with a smart ass comment doesn't really work when you soften the blow like that. Or when the comparison is trash considering the enormous difference in age and money. He acknowledges that in his post. That's the softening of the blow I'm referring to. Trolling is supposed to piss people off, not make sense. My bad, I actually only saw the post through your quote, so I thought he said that in isolation. Not sure how I missed the original post, actually.

    It isn't, and he was being "sold" as top-100 because he was, well, top 100 in some lists, and hadn't really done anything to suggest he should drop. He strikes me as a high floor, somewhat limited ceiling type of prospect.
  17. Warpticon
    i guess he doesnt have a concussion. I don't know. "#Skeetersfordays" kinda sounds like something someone with a head injury would say. Or possibly Lil Jon.
  18. Warpticon
    Th best part about that play was it was dead in the water even if the pitch had been any good.
  19. Warpticon
    I'm hella late with this, but please tell me you got this from K.O.

    anywhere i could find his second half splits? http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?pos=2B&sid=t450&t=p_pbp&pid=591720
  21. Warpticon
    What is he right about? Everything in the last year not involving the Sean Marshall trade. Yeah, okay. Anyway, you were right to say it's leap to assume absolutely that because his h/r splits were essentially even that he gained no advantage from Coors. That said, your original statement made it sound like you were saying that his decent numbers had been propped up by Coors, which seems like weak assertion given his h/r spits and the "just because his splits aren't skewed it doesn't mean he wasn't helped out" response a likely hedge from someone who hadn't actually checked the splits. And Warpticon never said Stewart was never aided by Coors, he implied that it was unlikely he had received much benefit, given his h/r splits. Which is a pretty reasonable assessment, imo. It wasn't even about receiving benefit from Coors so much as not receiving detriment from being outside of it. Kyle's assertion was that not hitting at Coors was a reason why he wouldn't hit elsewhere...even though he had hit elsewhere already. "He probably can't hit outside of Coors!" "But he hit better outside of Coors when he was good." "Yeah, um, well, you can't ignore park factors!" is a pretty silly argument.

    "We'll never know if it matters, but it totally qualifies as part of my MASSIVE TON OF REASONS he wouldn't produce" is logical to you? Explain why you think that having a better road OPS proves that hitting in Coors didn't help his performance in home games. Explain where I said I believed that. Kyle is rarely right about anything but he is here. What is he right about?

    No, dismissing the park factor because he had poor home stats is a bad argument. Without the hitter-friendly home park, he could have easily had even worse home stats. We'll never know, of course, but there's no reason to just dismiss park factors because a single player has an odd split. You cannot be serious right now.
