BeemerBoy Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Jay, I checked the sabermetrics, and you're correct. The fun percentage dropped by 99% these past few days. The front office really needs to reevaluate things in the offseason.
bigstevet07 Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Sabremetrics... 60% of the time it works everytime.
ParkTrips Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 If you can't use it as a source on research papers, it isn't a reputable source haha yeah I wasn't suggesting that... I WOULD do what Dan suggested, and use the sources that wiki cites, but what I meant is for a casual info look-up, wiki isn't a bad place to start  and believe me, at this point, I'd rather be talking MLS citations than bunting. Maybe I'm just bitter the damned yankees won.
dammie16@vt.edu Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 HAHA of course, I use wiki too! Â I did once change the WWII page to say that America joined the war for fear of a Hello kitty invasion destroying the economy...it stayed for like a month lmao. Â Â On baseball any thoughts on Howard dying in the series? Im not a big NL watcher is this normal for him, is he like A-rod (usually not this year) in the Post season. Thanks!
chemical_echo Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/baseball/mlb/12/14/phillies.halladay.lee/index.html Goodbye Halladay, you will be missed at the Dome. Â We better be getting some damn good prospects from Philly for him.
Chris Benvenuto Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 12 years with a DH, watching Halladay bat is going to be fun! Â I dunno WHY I find that amusing, I just do. Sorry. Â As for the Tigers in retrospect, we lost Granderson, Jackson and Polanco. I flipping hope that Austin Jackson is good, along with Scott Sizemore. We're going to need alot of luck and tact to win the division in 2010, after the epic fail of an implode this past September.
cooksta77 Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 I'm officially throwing in the towel on the Angels season this year. How do you lose Lackey, Figgins and get no one in return *Cough* Halladay *Cough* I'm saying we have the worst owner in baseball. Andrew "Sell them back to Mickey Mouse" Iorio
bigstevet07 Posted December 15, 2009 Posted December 15, 2009 I'm actually not too thrilled about the whole Halladay deal. I think the Phils are giving up too much for basically a swap of Lee and Halladay. I really like Happ and Drabek is supposed to be the Phils future, but one of them is probably gone. Â If the Phils are going to pay Halladay 20 million per, what the hell was Lee asking for?
mcjaco Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 Milton Bradley for Carlos Silva and cash. Â If Jim Hendry isn't fired by the end of today, I'm a White Sox fan from here on out.

Andrew "Sell them back to Mickey Mouse" Iorio   At least your not stuck with Tom Hicks. He is the worst freakin' owner. I take all kinds of crap for being a Ranger fan. We had a great ballclub in 2009. But with Tom Hicks as the owner we couldn't pump anything into helping us make the postseason. I am hoping the sale of the team goes to Chuck Greenberg. I know Hicks will still have small part, but at least we can pump some more money into this team, and along with the awesome farm system we have, I think the future will only get brighter.

ParkTrips Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 This is a theme park website - maybe you should try a baseball website? Or, if you are hoping to play college ball, allow me to assume you are playing for a school or private club - why don't you just ask your coach?
JEAPUgrad Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 If your looking to get into pro ball, work on your 40 as they expect you to be able to do it in 4.5-5.0 seconds. Â They also expect you to be able to hit just about every breaking pitch imaginable. Â I've attended (not participated) a Pro Scouting work out in my past. Â Hope you have four out of the five tools that they refer to or you don't have a chance in hell in getting pro scouts to look at you.
mcjaco Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 I'd hate to say it, but if no scout has talked to you yet (as a Junior), your chances are slim to none at this point.
Homer Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 Slight off topic, am I the only one bothered by the subtitle? "You're thoughts" implies "You are thoughts" and I know that I am an intellectual animal... not a thought. Â On topic, I'm extremely glad the Orioles set up spring training in my town and opening day will be against the Rays. Also glad the Rays finally get a decent closer for once, even though I will miss Aki going into the deeper abyss known as the Pirates. Â Only two more months.
JEAPUgrad Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 . On topic, I'm extremely glad the Orioles  Only two more months.  Um, that's something us O's fan don't ever say...I'm extremely glad...  Pitchers and catchers report for the O's on February 18th, position players on the 23rd.  Little bit less than two months to go!
ParkTrips Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 Slight off topic, am I the only one bothered by the subtitle? "You're thoughts" implies "You are thoughts" and I know that I am an intellectual animal... not a thought. Your like the 4th person to bring this up: get over it!

Â You mean "You're like the 4th person to bring this up:...." Â Anyway, the Mets signed Jason Bay.......

Hercules Posted January 6, 2010 Posted January 6, 2010 I can't believe you could joke about the English language in such a way.
rckrazy06 Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Umm, can anyone say Pirates for 2010? Yeah, now that they have the most losing seasons in a row in all of sports out of the way, it's time to get down to business..hopefully. *fingers crossed*
JEAPUgrad Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 I find it funny that NO ONE from Pittsburgh ever talks about the Pirates.
BeemerBoy Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Maybe they could hold the next NHL Winter Classic there. That way they'd have a winning team playing there.......briefly.
Emiroo Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Semi-on topic: Have you guys played MLB 09: The Show for PS3? It is absolutely incredible. The graphics are jaw-dropping and the game is near flawless. I'm not a "baseball guy" (or even a "sports guy" for that matter) and this one still blows me away every time I put it in.
