    my wife even noticed it about the same time i did. "i just thought he had a dirty spot on his cap."

    plz keep a running count of how many times webb touches the pine tar on his hat this inning. i will.
  3. Magnetic Curses
    i'm going to keep mentioning the pine tar until someone acknowledges me.
  4. Magnetic Curses
    seriously, does anyone else see that brown stuff on the bill of webb's hat? count how many times he goes to that just before he throws a pitch.
  5. Magnetic Curses
    george foreman's revenge.
  6. Magnetic Curses
    WEBB CLEARLY HAS A BROWN SUBSTANCE ON HIS HAT!!!!!!!!!!! COME ON, HOW CAN THE UMPS NOT CATCH THAT????????
  7. Magnetic Curses
    how dumb. he gets fired a year removed from a world series and hendry still has a job.
  8. Magnetic Curses
    i bought the locker room hat in 2003, i'll have to start collecting them.
  9. Magnetic Curses
    who the fukudome is heck?

    Didn't Z almost throw a no-no in Arizona a few years ago? I seem to remember that. Anyone have his career stats there? I have nothing to back this up other than my sincerest hope, but I think he'll do fine tonight. But we will need 3-4 runs to get it done. Wasn't that in 2003? i know he almost threw a no hitter against colorado in 2004.
  11. Magnetic Curses
    i agree. i'd play jones in right, though. that would be a good defensive outfield. arms all around.
  12. Magnetic Curses
    I think experience does matter, albeit not a big factor. I agree that luck is a bigger factor, second only to talent. in a short series, luck is a bigger factor than talent. especially considering both teams are good enough to have made the postseason in the first place
  13. Magnetic Curses
    you cannot predict wins and losses from game to game based on a limited supply of data. you can predict an overall trend with a large supply of data. experience, if it matters at all, won't be nearly the factor that luck is. luck is the prevailing factor.
  14. Magnetic Curses
    not much, if any. the small sample size doesn't really allow anything but luck to be much of a factor. I wouldn't go that far with the whole "playoffs are a crapshoot" thing. The better team usually wins in a given series, especially the further apart the teams are in terms of quality. The small sample certainly allows for a bad team to luck into it much moreso than a 162 game season, but to say that luck is just about the only factor is too far. It's not like every team goes in with a 1/8 chance of winning it all. depends on what your definition of "usually" is.

    Yep, and he was right there for the national record as well. Which I believe is now Jeff Clement's, you can partially thank his amazing HS field for that. which one? clement's or owings's?
  17. Magnetic Curses
    i don't know if thisd has been posted or not, but didn't owings set a georgia high school record for home runs?
  18. Magnetic Curses
    not necessarily.
  19. Magnetic Curses
    Arizona has the best bullpen. But yeah, starters are the best, and manager, I guess by default. Hurdle and Manuel are bad. Offense, the Cubs are a distant 3rd behind Philly and Colorado. But the Cubs' pitching is probably as far ahead of those 2 are ahead offensively, if not more. yeah, but we have the best bullpen pitcher.
  20. Magnetic Curses
    marshall is no rotation upgrade for the braves. they'll want gallagher, to start with. and that only happens if mark prior is back and has grown a metal shoulder.
  21. Magnetic Curses
    ah, i still think derosa is the mvp.
  22. Magnetic Curses
    Does anyone else smell a bit of a suspension or something coming for McClelland(sp?)?? Or at least being unable to ump the rest of the playoffs?? Extremely hard to tell, maybe his hand got in as it was coming out from under Barrett's foot, but sure didn't look like it. In the end, I think Colorado probly wins it, but still... WOW!! Never know though thats 2 outs no one on in a tied game anything could have happened. But If Holliday doesnt win MVP that would be a true shame. helton would have been on second.
  23. Magnetic Curses
    what a crappy ending to a great game. holliday missed the plate and has thusly robbed the game of it's insane goodness and place in baseball lore.
  24. Magnetic Curses
    what........................a...............................game!!!!!!!!
  25. Magnetic Curses
    Gettysburg? i believe the correct answer is joshua chamberlain.
