The KiloMetric Returns

[jacksonianmarch]

Dipre, the reason why I am calling you ridiculous is based on the entire premise of the post that you quickly shot down as a small sample size. When somebody uses the term, "of late" it is assumed that you are using a small sample size. If I wanted to use a statistically significant sample size, I would have said this yr, or over the past few months. It doesnt change the fact that our top 4 are coming into this series relatively hot as opposed to your top 4, which consists of 2 red hot pitchers and 2 slumping pitchers. But you had to chime in and point out the obvious, which isnt unusual. Seriously, your increase in posting on this site has been inversely proportional to the quality of your posts. Maybe if you thought about what you are typing a little more and scaled back on the posts, then you might not make an ass out of yourself

Again, i'm just s***ing with you.

 

I'm way too bored lately.

[jacksonianmarch]

my life has been anything but lately. Just bought a house, will be working like a fiend for the next 3 months or so and am looking for jobs. This is the first full day off I have had in a month and with all the moonlighting I will be doing, I likely wont see another one for a long while. Just enjoying being home right now

hehe touche

[jacksonianmarch]

Just wanted to point out something....

 

The sox next 7 games will be incredibly difficult

 

1. @NYY Beckett vs Burnett

2. @NYY Buchholz vs Sabathia

3. @NYY Lester vs Pettitte

4. vs DET Penny vs Jackson

5. vs DET Smoltz vs Porcello

6. vs DET Beckett vs Galarraga

7. vs DET Buchholz vs Verlander

 

then you have 3 at Texas (one vs Millwoord), 3 at Toronto (where you might face both Romero and Halladay), then you face Chamberlain, Burnett and Sabathia in Fenway. After that, you have 4 vs the White Sox and 3 vs Toronto. Your August is BRUTAL.

Series coming up:

 

Obviously the big one is Texas/Boston. Going to the oppressive 100 degree heat will not be ean easy task for the Sox, and due to the difference in schedules from here on out between the two teams it's pretty vital for the Sox to take 2/3. I like the Lester/Millwood matchup and hopefully Penny or Tazawa can steal another.

 

Yankees go to Seattle for four and amazingly miss King Felix. Even with Mitre and Gaudin pitching, anything less than 3/4 is a colossal disappointment.

 

Rays, clinging for dear life, open a series at the Trop against Roy Halladay.

time for an update again Kilo. Seems you might have been a bit too optimistic

Your opinion:

 

It is not needed.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

I love it. The serial troll actually thinks this series affected the division race, and actually bumps a metric prediction by a fan to gloat about it.

[Cocos Disciples]

Jacko f***ing invented the bad prediction.

[BSN07]

Notice how he hasn't made any bold predictions recently? They have come back to bite him to often.

 

 

Yes Jacko the Yankees are good, better then in recent years. If I was you I would be hoping the don't peak to soon though. That and your SP stay healthy. If the Yanks lose someone from their top 3, the Yankees could be a very different team. I know your allowed to be excited for your team. That's a given.

 

But try not to be a douche.

you calling anyone a troll is just f***ing hilarious. Again, the deflection and the denial. Sorry guys, as yankee fans who frequent the site, we have taken it hard for the past few yrs and I for one, have stood my ground and taken it. Now, its our turn

Hello there troll.

His earlier post was a blatant admission of trolling.

 

As per the new rules, the mods should contemplate a 3-day ban.

[jacksonianmarch]

Just plain stupid as usual. Tensions are high and some "fans" dont have the balls to be good posters. I'll leave it at that, before I actually earn a ban.

If you're not a troll, then why bump a fan-created prediction thread to gloat about the Yankees success and suggest that Kilo was too lenient in his prediction?

Logic:

 

This post has it.

[jacksonianmarch]

Because Kilo was gonna update it again anyway. Also, you have no f***ing clue what a troll is. You really dont. I am surprised we didnt see more of them here. A troll is someone who is a quick hitter with some gloating post and then dont stick around to get lambasted. Last I checked, I have been here way longer than you. So, who's the troll now?

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

No, a 'troll' is someone whose primary objective when posting is to incite ******** and bait other posters.

 

In the sports forum context, it is someone who roots for a team other than the one being discussed, often a rival. The troll in question will also post negative, unrealistic crap about the team the site is dedicated to, always try to rain on parades, take the absolute worst case scenario and pass it off as logical and likely, and accuse others (the fans of the team the forum is dedicated to) of unrealistic optimism. Stuff that would be looked at as 'o noez sky is falling' material if it came from one of those fans. You fit that description perfectly, at least at the moment.

 

EDIT: length of tenure has absolutely nothing to do with it. You can be a troll and not get banned, because all your s*** can be perfectly subtle or you can just counterbalance it with other crap, such draft and Yankee discussion.

[example1]

So, Kilo, where's this thing at, anyway? It's been almost a month.

[TheKilo]

I've been so bad about this this season. Sorry guys.
