    No. 5 hitter Blake DeWitt.

    What are you talking about? You're the type of fan that shows up win or lose. It's called passion and having a spine - you should try it sometime. BOYCOTT!

    Nice try, check page 1... Aw crap, I'm two days late.

    I really can't get over that Luis Montanez is playing for the big-league Cubs now. We should see what Nic Jackson and David Kelton are up to.
  5. Hairyducked Idiot
    We're down to .298 now. Order is restored.
  6. Hairyducked Idiot
    Your mom happened to the site.

    I think these guys might be better than us at baseball. We should try to get tomorrow's game switched to something else.

    MLB announcers just implied this is already a serious no-hit/perfect game bid. I'm not sure I can disagree.

    Sidetrack, but we are nowhere near computers solving chess. True and I'm no chess guru but aren't a lot of Kasparov types already calling for a move towards randomized chess or having GMs play WITH computers against other GMs playing with computers so memorizing every opening isn't the name of the game? Fischer was a huge proponent of randomizing the starting positions to take away from opening prep. And opening prep is a *huge* part of the modern game at the grandmaster level, to the point a lot of people would like to see that changed.

    And with offense doing what it's doing these days, a 700 OPS from a good defensive 2b doesn't seem all that bad.
  12. Hairyducked Idiot
    Yeah, like that guy at SS. I agree the article is ridiculous. But one can argue Castro hasn't shown much either, and not too many people seem outraged at the hype. If Darwin Barney were to de-age 4.5 years tomorrow and add 40 points to his SLG, I'd be significantly more excited about him.
  13. Hairyducked Idiot
    I'm curious, though. Are there any comps for a middle infielder his age just hitting .290 and OPSing 700 at every stop up through the majors, then continuing it in the major leagues?
  14. Hairyducked Idiot
    I keep promising myself not to hate Barney just because other people like him irrationally, but that article makes it really, really hard. As will the $3 million/year deal he gets to buy out his arbitration years.

    This team will never win a championship until we get a faceless corporate owner with tight spin control. Maybe they could own a big part of the media.
  16. Hairyducked Idiot
    I wouldn't put it past them.
  17. Hairyducked Idiot
    I'm still of the opinion that complaining about the quality of the baseball posts is the equivalent of asking other people to work for your entertainment. If you want quality baseball posts, go make them.

    Then I need to see your long-form birth certificate.

    NBA = the same age they stop liking new hip hop on the radio NFL = when alzheimer's sets in and they can't remember their HS playing days anymore What if you didn't play football in high school? Everybody played football in high school. This is America.
  20. Hairyducked Idiot
    Yeah, the Other Sports and Social forums keep quite active. They tend to skew older. Do you have perform an age survey I'm not aware of? I botched that one. Younger would have made sense with my age theory. Older is the opposite.

    I would have enjoyed seeing him get blamed.
  24. Hairyducked Idiot
    Says the guy who frontran to another continent when this one started to go bad.
  25. Hairyducked Idiot
    Well, there's a counterexample. I guess my theory is busted. And it was such a strong one to begin with...you know with no evidence and being impossible to prove or disprove. Everyone submit to deeply probing psychological examination so we can settle this once and for all.
