    No one's claiming that. Even if his elbow had blown up, it still wouldn't justify one side or the other. I was just pointing out that it wasn't just his elbow that was a concern at the time. How many times does the issue of Peavy's shoulder come up in that thread? Non-zero.

    Knocked and validated? Not really, it's just entertaining to read old threads. But two points: 1) Will Carroll was actually on the score yesterday talking about this. There's no way to know whether or not his problems in one part of the arm helped exacerbate problems elsewhere, but it's definitely possible. 2) His shoulder was a concern as well at the time. http://northsidebaseball.com/forum/topic?f=6&t=52078&p=2080638&hilit=peavy%20elbow%20shoulder#p2080638

    That thread, like so many, is hilarious in retrospect.

    I hate when people jump into threads and start calling people jerks. The people who do that are the *worst*.

    I was talking to a Cardinals fan at work the other day, and I started to mention that I hated Ryan Theriot, and then I stopped because I realized I was talking baseball with a random person and that always sucks. Then I tried to remember why I hated Ryan Theriot and couldn't come up with a good reason other than "he was overrated by certain types of fans." But now I have a good reason. Thanks, Ryan.

    So I guess fun and games are over now.

    If he sucks, sabr wins, right? That was the final litmus test.

    Not that I can add anything to this already awesome thread, but here's the simple fact that so many dumb people don't get: The most important sabermetric discovery in the history of baseball was that random ish happens. Call it variance, luck, plexiglass principle, whatever, sabermetrics tells you that a whole lot of weird ish will happen during a baseball season that can't be predicted. Meanwhile, the anti-stathead crowd will act as if a baseball season is written in stone by God before a pitch was thrown. And then when something weird happens, they'll say "Ha, your computers didn't predict that!" and act smug, as if their entire point of view hadn't just been debunked.

    He's Hispanic, he hits for power and he's prone to nagging injuries. The only way he'd be more perfectly set up for the scapegoat role is if he struck out a bunch. But we can just cover up for that by saying he's "not clutch."
  18. Hairyducked Idiot
    A stupid theory that you should feel stupid about.
  19. Hairyducked Idiot
    And playing the role of this year's scapegoat will be ... Aramis Ramirez! Zambrano would have been an obvious choice but we did him last year.

    Don't bring up your family if they are supposed to be off-limits. You guys can make fun of my kid if you want. He's one and a total jerk, and can eat an entire McDonald's ice cream cone already.

    I was going to make it and then someone tried to lead off with Colvin.

    I can access NSBB from home, but at work I get a message that the domain has expired and one of those weird ad-filled placeholder pages. IP-ban fail?
  23. Hairyducked Idiot
    Only the Cubs.
  24. Hairyducked Idiot
    If he can throw with a mangled hand, why can't Jay Cutler play with a torn MCL?
  25. Hairyducked Idiot
    Sounds expensive.
