Wow, this one huge invite for a pile of s*** everytime you get something wrong. Well done.
-
Yeah, I laughed my ass off when that aired. Superbowl, right?
-
Thought it was hilarious. It's a shame you aren't allowed to be a real person with the media without someone getting up in arms about something. Lighten up and have a laugh people.

Stan Van just sent this game to overtime. Magic were up 3 with 3.1 to play, he has Turkoglu foul Lebron right as he caught the ball, but Lebron was able to initiate a shot attempt before the contact, and he nailed all 3. OT.

I think he was below average in RF, ZR, FRAA, and UZR for every year leading up to the Yankees playing a better SS at 3B. Then, with a player with much better range on his right, he approximated average for a couple of years, and now he's back below average.

Kobe blows. Best pure scorer I've ever seen, even better than prime MJ. Kobe can do everything he did, and he's a better shot. He blows as a teammate though. He had it all, the best center in the game, and a bench full of stars willing to take pay cuts for a ring run. He drove it all away, so f*** 'em. Dwight Howard is starting to do two things. One, fill out that frame. He's freaking huge. Two, get some game down low. He's on the cusp of being the best low block player in the NBA (aside from freak hybrids like KG). The work with Ewing is really paying off.

Never really was. He's always been bad, but his bat has always been well above average, and still is now.

It started off nice, what with the whole "the personalities don't matter, it's about making the best team". I can respect that. But then you taint it with your own "justification". If you don't care, why try and convince others? Thing is, I think you do care, hence the repeated mantra.
-
You think? I don't. This smells like a staged comeback. The only way Arod could conceivably be welcomed back by Yankee fans is if he plays the hero card and jilts the most hated man in baseball in a moment of "conscience" where he realizes he really does like NY and wants to come back. And it's already working. Yankee fans are lapping this up. No other scenario works. It's a traveshamockery.

Right, and those extra innings, as evidenced through those metrics, do hold value. Qualifying the results by making it relative to playing time ignores that. Furthermore, assigning a cutoff point which we determine to be "enough" to be worthy of consideration is arbitrary. And without said cutoff point, then you can start making cases for Clay Buchholz and Joba Chamerlain. So, in order to avoid that arbitrary "good enough" point, you give credit for the whole season and appreciate the value of more contribution.

True, it does tie them up financially, but I think it does it in the right areas. I think a good template for success is a dominant inside presence, Howard, and a dynamic scorer, Lewis, and good role players to fill out the roster, which is what they have right now. In fact, I think Lewis is a better fit than a healthy Grant Hill. Hill is a more complete ball player, but not a pure scorer, and that's what they were missing. They are replete with guys that can do a little bit of everything, and were missing a guy who could fill it up. The only potential for problems is that they seem a bit dependent on performance outside the arc. None of the three-jack happy teams, Chicago-Dallas-Phoenix-Washington, have much to show for their dependence on the long ball (regular season performance for all, but no titles).
-
Orlando is looking solid this year. Lewis was a great addition. They needed to add what they were supposed to be getting from Hill, and while Lewis isn't the total player on both sides of the ball the Grant was, he's got the same dynamic on offense. Dwight Howard continues to progress. He's a freak on the low block.

I think you mean revenue sharing.

The Beckett Deal Revisited (or is it The Ramirez Deal?)
ORS replied to BoSox21's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Using the criteria where $$/performance is considered and the only time allowed in the analysis is the time left under current contract, then I can provide a quick synopsis that applies to every trade. Ever. The team getting prospects always wins. Every time. Lock the thread. -
I don't think there's any way they are out of the NC game if they win out. They are only .0289 behind Oregon with their current SOS. They play the BCS #4 and #5 to finish. I wouldn't be surprised if they end up the BCS #1 if they run the table.
-
I vote you are forced to keep it. It's a stupid taunt, and now it's even more stupid. Befitting of it's owner if you ask me.
-
I don't think the 49'ers win another game. The Pats are going to get a top-3 pick. Boston could go through the best 2-3 year period for a city in the major three sports in history.
-
Four, holy crap.
-
I wonder what's going through the mind of Manning right now? Don't s*** your pants....Three seconds until pick....Not fair, powder blue looks a lot like our uniforms....Two seconds until pick....Man, these second stringers are scrubs....One second until pick....This is hard w/o my favorite PI crew....Pick.
-
Darren Sproles is in havoc mode.
-
RE: Romo You really think so? I think he gets away with a lot of things that QBs with lesser supporting casts get grilled for. Throwing off balance, off the back foot, winging it. He's Rex Grossman with an elite WR and TE, and backs who get who contribute in the passing game, IMO.
-
I'm so ready for Gibbs to retire again. His vanilla play calling and poor clock management (2 TO's prior to the challenge on Betts fumble, which they lost) have cost them more than one game this year.

UZR, the Fielding Bible, and PMR's methodology is the best there is at measuring defensive contribution. By UZR Crisp is +30, by the Fielding Bible he's +44, and I can't find 2007 PMR's. No hypocrisy needed, with similar levels of offensive performance Crisp is more valuable. The RC/G was 4.4 Crisp, 4.3 Melky Mantle. Face it, Melky's defensive capability is best suited for RF, and he'd be a good one, IMO. The only problem is his bat projects at 2B. So, do you like your big cup of STFU warm or cold?
