    I would.

    I was on a fishing trip in Minnesota. I had been running my mouth that there was no point in watching the game that night, lets go out and fish for Pike, 'cause Estes was going to lose. I quoted stats about how bad he'd been. Everyone was tired and wanted to play cards with the TV on in the background. At the time I was writing for cubstalk.com. The guys ridiculed me endlessly about my misjudging an obviously talented pitcher.

    It really depends on what your definition of "is" is.

    I am in complete concurrence with you. While neither would be fun, I'd much rather have a bruised jaw than an intrascrotal hematoma. Just my two cents. I knew someone would come through with the name of the injury he suffered. While I absolutely love the punch to AJ's jaw, just putting the words scrotal and hematoma next to each other makes my nether region ache. I'll take a punch in the jaw from anyone before I'd take a batted baseball to the... :shock: We have Mike Tyson waiting for you outside :wink: Pansy. Barrett could kick his butt. Shewt! AJ could kick his butt.

    This wasn't intended to be a thread trashing Muskat (we have plenty of those). It is supposed to be a place to discuss the nastiness of being socked in the jaw by MB vs. being knocked in the rocks in your jock by a foul tip.

    Yeah its like the boy who cried "Bruce" or something.

    While the punch was quite nasty (those with pics in your sig should post them), I must say that the foul tip had to have been nastier. Nothing against Carrie, but this is one topic she surely has no speaking rights on.

    If you want to take pressure off him, he's always said he prefers hitting 6th. Maybe sliding him to 5th if he struggles wouldn't be a bad idea. That said, I don't expect him to struggle. He won't hit like he did in 2005 but I think we can expect .380/.570/.950 from him 2005 = 1.080, carreer = .863

    My thoughts exactly. If someone wants to say ERA isn't a great stat then say that. Saying ERA doesn't mean jack when it comes to ERA is just self-contradicting unless i'm missing something. You are. He meant ERA doesn't mean jack in predicting the next year's ERA. An overstatement of a decent point. BABIP, WHIP, and K/BB are better in predicting "next years" performance.

    Well it'll make sense when it comes to you. You know, usually when someone discredits a statistic for some reason you're supposed to change the argument. All you did was take the same statistic and show it to me in a different form. It's like you saying that Carlos Lee hits 50 homers per 800 ABs. And then I say that there are other ways to grade a hitter's performance than home runs, then refute my argument with, Carlos Lee hits homers at a rate 25% better than league average. It's the exact same argument and my previous point remains. ERA has little to do with ERA. I wouldn't say a guy with an ERA that's probably going to be five has much if any "production." And yes, Guzman and Marshall can certainly produce the same. Wait. Did you just discredit ERA as a worthwhile stat and then use it to make your point? :shock: I think he discredited ERA as a predictive stat. ERA is a good measurement of production. ERA+ even better.

    Isn't that the definition of "worth"?

    That's the first time for me. Sorry...a little extra time on my hands.

    Discussions like this in the year 2025 will read like Koufax discussions today. "Can you imagine if he had stayed healthy?!"

    :shock: Poor reads, poor first step, terrible lateral acceleration, no vertical leap... I think it'd be one of the worst defensive shortstop contributions we've seen in quite a long time. :lol: Yeah, but can he pick up a grounder at his feet? [/2003_NLCS_pain...please]

    While I was drunk from a combination of Zima and O'Douls, I found those WMD that Bush lost. You mean the WMDs the media says weren't there but were found in small quantities?

    The amount in that article has been changed from what it stated when it was originally posted. It has? Every other article I can find on the Marquis signing has him at 3/21. Sun-Times DailyHerald DailySouthtown What am I missing? Cubs.com originally reported it 3/20. When the Suntimes article came out 3/21, cubs.com changed theirs to 3/21.

    I think the sox are avoiding big ticket items in this extreme market swing, an cashing in with their overrated cheap pitchers.
