  1. Is this team stealing signs at Fenway, because the offense sucks on the road, which is why I picked LAAoA,USA to win the series.
  2. When does the gift strike on 3-0 die? Hasn't the game advanced enough to get beyond archaic ******** like that?
  3. His voice reminds of Norm MacDonald in Billy Madison.
  4. Some of that trouble was his own making. His refusal to throw Abreu a strike has created trouble in more than the last inning.
  5. No, in Dojjiland, that's Mike Lowell's fault. Jon Lester is to blame for the GIDP in the last half inning.
  6. Related to TO, and every bit the same category of douche.
  7. Why is Lester pitching like a pussy against Abreu?
  8. Mike Lowell has seen 5 pitches and made 3 outs tonight. STEED!
  9. Iassonga is on the crew too. He's awful too.
  10. Yeah, Bucknor is pretty bad. I really hope he doesn't pull duty behind the plate in one of these games. It's a 6 man crew right, so theoretically he could be the odd man out if it went 5.
  11. Bad Officiating Official sponsor of the MLB.
  12. Joe West. Worst in the game. Loves to make himself the show.
  13. If you are going to continually hit it to Abreu, then don't hit it right to him. He sucks, make him move, preferably near the wall where he wets his pants.
  14. Joe Mauer should have held out and signed with another team in another year if he wanted to make it to the WS, because his beloved Twins gobble cock against the Yankees.
  15. It was a nice play, but what got him to the ball more, his legs...or gravity?
  16. I'll bet the British see Lackey and say, "That chap has some f***ed up teeth."
  17. I feel bad for Franklin's beard. There's got to be some 6th month old bits of chow and dried soup in there.
  18. I would say baseball players can recognize talent, but I'm skeptical of their ability measure acheivement. Therefore, it's possible that they are underappreciating what JD provides to his team relative to the expectations they have of the talent they observe.
  19. Do you know what that 8% means? His OBP in the situation is ~.300, so his career OBP of .392 is only 1.2% outside the margin of "expected" error. Pulling 2.4% of the data from 5000+ data points, it's very possible you get something like his bases-loaded results. Furthermore, he's demonstrated success similar to his career production in many other "run scoring" situations. You cherry picked. And, as far as RC vs. RC/27 goes. I didn't suggest one was a better analytical tool for determining JD Drew's worth. It was better for answering the specific question that you attempted to answer and botched. FTR, since you suggest it doesn't change things much, JD Drew was 3rd among qualified RF(source espn.com). Again, I realize that RC captures the playing time that has worth, but don't make s*** up.
  20. JD Drew's had 128 PA with the sacks full. In his career, he's had 5321 PA. That's 2.4%. In a typical season, a full-time OF will have about 600 PA, and 2.4% of that is 14.4 PA. That's like 3 games worth. To rhet, would you place much confidence in 3 games worth of PA as being meaningful toward any kind of analysis?
  21. LDS Angels Yankees Cardinals Rockies LCS Yankees Cardinals WS Cardinals
