Yeah. I agree totally with what you said "sweet chin". I was there before Schilling came there..and was one of the posters who was talking to him the night in chat when he first signed. Curt is actually good for the site..because he talks "baseball." Most of the people there are just so into themselves and inventing some sort of statistical formula to quantify everything from OBP...to the arc of the sun flower seed spat from Josh Beckett's mouth. It is ridiculous. I cannot stand most of the assclowns on that site--the ones looking to mock everyone who is not up to snuff on the latest "Jamesian" creation.
It is funny. I browse through there now and again for personnel updates..they are usal really quick in reporting transactions. I saw a thread where a few of them were BASHING Schilling for being candid. The same fans who were slobbering all over his nads a year earlier..lol.. At least Schilling is a real person and not some poindexter, "Keyboard" tough guy trying to dump on someone who actually has talent.
And another thing. It is alwasy funny when you argue with the statheads..they will tell you what % of balls Willy-Mo Pena pulls, They will tell you who has the best average with RISP in a rainstrom, with humidity over 80%, with a dewpoint of 20...-- but ask them about "opening hips", staying "tall to the ball", or "lead hand extension" and they will fumble with their calculators looking between the sin and tan buttons until their f***ing eyes pop out of their skulls... When they don't find the "lead hand extension" button..they come back with.."You are a neanderthal, you are a simpleton who knows nothing about baseball." Now that is what really gets me.
I have forgotten, used, forgotten, re-used and thrown away more about baseball than every one of those blithering maroons. Most of them are all paper fans. I heard an observer watching the SOSH Softball outing actually called in for the Short Yellow Buses...they were that pathetic and are about as athletic as my televsion stand.
Honestly, that site is pathetic. It is fun to be at a couple of sites now that actually talk baseball and have fun..instead of being micro-analyzed by a bunch of self-professed statistical gurus.
