Gene Honda Civic

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 11:42 AM) Besides blind optimism, I don't understand how people could think he'll go deep into a game without giving up a ton of runs. maybe it's that he's allowed more than 2 runs in a start just once since returning to Charlotte. That's a span of 8 starts.

Leo Daigle. I hear he's good.

NO.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 30, 2005 -> 09:11 AM) She is nasty looking now. Part of her original appeal to me was the downhome, girl next door look. Now she is waaaaaaaaaay to thin. how bout a picture for those of us who don't watch those channels?

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 11:38 PM) Player A: .360 Player B: .474 BUt they aren't built the same, and SLG% tends to favor the guy who doesn't walk. A single counts towards slugging whereas a walk doesn't. Based on OPS, player B is a no-brainer. Yeah, a single counts towards slugging, but it's mirrored in BA. -- [sLG (minus) AVG] eliminates singles, and tells you how often a player hits for extra bases. -- ISO Player A -- .144 Player B -- .181 Oh, and I choose Player B.

$4,500 and all I got was $3/Gal gas?

QUOTE(CubsSuck1 @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 12:08 AM) Haha, I read that book last year for school, I worte a 2 page paper on it too, might be around somewhere.... I just thought the whole book was kinda meh. Kinda meh? The opening scene featured a dog pitchforked into the front lawn. That's hardly meh.

I need SLG

Wait. When you're called up, don't you have to be up for 10 days? Or is that when you are sent down? I know Pedro Lopez was up for a short time, but that was because of WH's bereavement visit, which is a different animal.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 12:51 PM) I'd have to read that for myself. Not a crack at you, but I don't see how anyone can say it's impossible. I linked the article a while ago, before we had around the horn, so it would be in the sports bar. It was an article on Slate.

It's just some numbers on a gun, which are notoriously inaccurate. He did allow a double on the play.

I appreciate a book with pictures.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 01:09 PM) I think he is making his statement because of how Anderson has played in the minors more so than the majors so far. Because really he has nothing to prove at AAA next year. I'd expect him to produce about like Nick Swisher has this year, maybe walking a little less. Maybe a cross between Eric Byrnes & Aaron Rowand. --- Those are hardly superstar type numbers.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 01:07 AM) LOL. You were in the Towers (RIP) right? Yeah... I think I stole a couch off the front porch of a Frat the first weekend too. So that was a highlight.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Aug 27, 2005 -> 12:51 AM) This is how bored I got chillaxing in my dorm room tonite. LOL My first weekend after classes started at ISU consisted essentially of watching Dazed and Confused with a few guys who I didn't even know the names of. -- They would become friends, but that night I was just looking for anyone to talk to. -- The rest of my time was spent trying to top 34 Million on the pinball game that comes with Windows.

Now the minor league bashers can't complain that the Sox don't have anyone come up from the minors and contribute right away. Jenks gets his first major league save yesterday, and Anderson carries the team for 10 innings.

SSI, How many major league pitchers have you ever recorded a hit against?

Shoulda pulled that ball
