  1. I don't understand the alias thing. We already have avatars and made up screen names.
  2. But some people never seem to be able to stop trying. LOL!
  3. Why aren't you golfing in Florida?
  4. Stats are a reference point for me for our opposition while I am enjoying the game with a beer and some peanuts or other snack. I know that it makes some heads explode here, but I don't need stats for the Red Sox. By watching every game, I know what is going on far more than stats could tell me. If I leave the country for a couple of weeks for vacation, I will look at their stats to see how things have gone in my absence.
  5. You people from BDC are always looking to fit me into your preconceived notions. LOL!! None of you have me figured out at all.
  6. I never posted there under any name.
  7. Specious argument, and a very poor analogy.
  8. I am an attorney, not "was an attorney". Just retired from my employer.
  9. Maybe your arguments are often specious.
  10. Glad that you have a thick skin. And I never said that you in particular were smug.
  11. Clutch exists and so does choking. IMO the debatable issue is whether those labels are applicable to certain players at certain points in time.
  12. That's right. He was his Uber Driver.
  13. Thank you for clarifying.
  14. That was 1 poster and that doesn't represent the rest of us who think clutch is real,but you are painting everyone else with a broad brush.
  15. You consider yourself to be a "stat geek." So no one is labeling you in a way that you don't label yourself. "Anti-stat" and "traditionalist" are not accurate for the people who you pin those labels on.
  16. I just maintained that it was not an attack on character. I never said that it wasn't insulting. Get it straight.
  17. I never said that "fat slob" is not derogatory. It is derogatory and I meant it to be insulting. I do not think it constitutes an attack on the man's character anymore than calling someone shorty. Get the story straight.
  18. Which part is false? The second part is true. You label people.
  19. Not really. Players at different times in their careers can handle pressure differently.
  20. Stathead is not derogatory. if you prefer "geek", we can go with that. I would have thought that calling someone a geek might be derogatory.
  21. And you didn't answer his question. He asked his first.
  22. I think "stat geek" is a label they bestow upon themselves and they like to give derogatory labels to everyone with whom they disagree.
