He Hate Me

Good looking out SFOC. ALWAYS appreciated. I'm getting married on Monday actually. It's a quickie ceremony at City Hall cuz we can't really afford anything else at this point =(

they're definetely overpaid. All our guys are.

I don't understand the hostility. We've had this conversation before in other threads and and both of us has stated similar views to the ones we're taking right now.

You speak of Sabermetrics or whatever it's called as accepted scientific fact. I'll assume your "typical" comment was made because I'm defending Jeter, and thereby putting down the formulas and other stats. Not so, I've railed against these things in other threads. It has absolutely nothing to do with Jeter. I simply feel that too many people are looking at moneyball like it's the gold standard by which championships are won. Given this age of almost fanatical analysis of numbers and stats upon stats upon stats, that's not surprising, but you wonder when it will stop. These stats don't tell you how valuable Craig Counsell has been in the playoffs or how Mark Lemke always seemed to turn it up in the playoffs. Does RISP account for the score? a guy who has a RISP of .400 in games where they're already leading by 5 before the 6th inning while facing the long relief guy can't be as clutch as the dude batting .300 RISP but does it when they're down by a run or two and facing the setup guy. It's exaclty the reason I don't like the numbers game.

shrug, what can I say. It's easy to find fault in anyone if you have a bias against them to begin with, especially if you watch them more than once. You obviously have an opinion on Jeter so I'll let his play speak for himself. I've had this argument with others before about the over usage of formulas dreamed up by basement geeks, and it's not something I care go through again.

I got mine yesterday. One request though SFOC. next time, please just send it by regular mail. Paying 5 bux to send money to me doesn't seem very fair.

I was talking about the early part of his career.

I never thought much of Tom Brady because for the early part of his career, his numbers seemed pretty pedestrian to me or at most above average. However, I heard plenty of Patriots fans who told me that you had to watch Tom Brady for a whole season to appreciate how well he performs in key situations.

Jeter's rep as clutch comes from the fans who watch him play. I think we would have a better idea of how good Jeter is in certain situations. All the stats and fancy formulas in the world can't replace what your eyes see.

The only player whose autograph I ever wanted was Paulie's

jealousy, pure and simple.

4 Wins 36 Runs Scored

It's the first new console that I haven't bought on launch day since the SNES. I normally wouldn't care about the $400, but with my marriage happening soon, I gotta watch every cent

You don't understand how immigration laws work. So please stop talking about it until you do some research.

Woo Hoo!! 16 more weeks of this and I can buy my own XBox360!

Right, what a shock, you calling another poster names.

I wonder if the "Manny being Manny" line worked when his wife caught him cheating.

he doesn't belong in anything with the word "professional" in it

thank you. I'm sick of people who bring up the fact that Ruth drank and ate like a elephant to justify the Roidheads of today.

I'm not dwelling in the past, I'm dwelling in the present because it would not surprise me one bit to find him still on steroids of some sort. And please, don't ever compare drinking and being a fat slob on the same level as being a cheater. if anything, the fact Ruth drank and was out of shape made it mmore fair for the rest of the playing field, as opposed to the effect steroids has.

wait did YOU just accuse me of being close minded when it comes to the Yankees????????????????

i'm sorry, but who the hell throws a bat at the ump?? I mean honestly, who the hel does that? why not take off your shoes and throw that too? I hear Austin Powers 4 is casting. thats just stupid.

Forget it. Some peopel are very good at seeing no evil when it coms to people on their team.
