I've got cable, and Soxtalk is bogged down right now --- I'm getting 5+ second page loads.

I gotta work tonight, and tomorrow. -- Can somebody get me a Timo autograph? :wink

Timo Perez for ...... Who am I kidding, ANYONE.

One thing I don't like about the park -- It really is a ball mall -- When you leave your seats , you are completely disconnected from the action on the field. At comiskey, it's an open atmosphere(on the lower level). You never feel like you leave the game at all.

I was referring to Jesse Jackson, not Elder. I don't know enough about Elder to say anything.

Paul and Ben don't have to buy their tix.

I saw the words Jesse Jackson and I stopped reading. That guy plays the race card so often for his own personal gain it's sickening.

These things make me laugh

I DL'ed The Bourne Supremecy a from somewhere :wink last week. I didn't watch it right away or even check to see if it was the right movie. So Tonight I make myself some popcorn and get set to watch it, only the whole thing is in Russian or something (I didn't stick around to find out) -- Just wanted to share that.

Here's something I can see -- Cora drew 10 intentional walk last year beacuse he was batting in the #8 hole ahead of such offensive powerhouses as Jeff Weaver and Odalis Perez. Cora's (non-intentional)walk rate was 47 in 484 plate appearences, or 1 every 10.3 PAs Harris' (non-intentional)walk rate was 51 in 472 plate appearences, or 1 every 9.25 PAs

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 04:55 PM) ARow said that Frank is working his f***ing ass off, and is gonna suprise a lot of people. I sure hope so -- He would know more than me -- They both live in Vegas

Clemson -- Warm weather, baseball, the south. Kansas State -- Manhattan (no not that one), ..., ..., uh yeah I can't think of any reason to go there.

We open at home, I'd put my money on MB pitching that game

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Jan 12, 2005 -> 11:58 PM) Drunk on a Wednesday night? I'm pretty sure he's a UofI student -- They had a home BBall game tonight(well last night now) Sobriety is probably hard to find in C/U tonight.

I'm a terrible car passenger --- I have an overwhelming cumpulsion to open the door while the car is moving. I have to always keep the door locked, and if it's one of those that will open anyways, remind myself not to pull too hard on the lever. -- I'm fine when I'm driving though, I guess it's a control issue

I pray for you Jugger, I really do.

you mess with the Bull, you get the horns

Gotta root for a little Hilton Magic tonight

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Jan 12, 2005 -> 03:00 PM) This is becoming laughable. You obviously don't like the fact that as a RP in 04 Hermanson outperformed Schow as a RP in 03. Lemme see -- Hermanson 04 in the pen -- 4.33 ERA in an NL pitchers park for everybody not named bonds Schoeneweis 03 in the pen -- 4.18 ERA in the AL in hitters parks. Nope you're still wrong. Keep trying though.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Jan 12, 2005 -> 01:30 AM) Here we go again. What is most important for a RP is not surrendering runs. That's there job. If they need to walk a guy to get that job done so be it. Herm RP 0R 23, 1R 2, 2R 2, 4R 2 He failed 6 out of 29 appearances. I would call that effective. You can scale that to 12 out of 60 to see just how much. SSch RP 03: 0r 39, 1r 10, 2r 7, 3r 1, 4r 2 He failed 20 out of 59 appearances. I don't know if I would call that effective. Traslation: 2002-2004 as a reliever: Hermanson: 5.61ERA -- mostly in the NL/pitching parks Schoeneweis: 3.95ERA -- mostly in the AL/hitters parks Yep Hermanson did a great job of not surrendering runs

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Jan 12, 2005 -> 01:10 AM) SScho: 0r 0, 1r 3, 2r 2, 3r 4, 4r 4, 5r 3, 6r 1, 8r 1, 9r 1 9 qs, 4 nqs, 6 bad starts. 13-6 split. But he went down Aug 4. A 4 month player. The guy has been plagued by injuries his whole career. If you use him as a starter he won't last. If you use him as a reliever he's not as effective. For someone who keeps spitting out stats you sure do miss the big picture an awful lot. Not as effective as a reliever? 3.95ERA .249BAA from the pen compared with 5.48ERA .283BAA as a starter (last 3 seasons)-- Seems to me that he's much more effective as a reliever. Plus he's got a career WHIP and BAA of 1.19 and .237 respectively, against lefties -- I'd say that he'd make a very effective LOOGY.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Jan 11, 2005 -> 11:50 PM) Hey just because you don't understand that a starter's value is equal to runs surrendered per start (quality vs poor starts) is no reason to get upset. Yes Jon pitches in the much tougher AL & at the Cell. Ok, I'll grant you that. It's as good a reason to explain his mediocrity as anything else. So wait -- was it Hermanson's 7 quality starts last season -- a qaulity start percentage of 39% compared to Garlands 16 quality starts -- a quality start percentage of 48% -- That must be what you are talking about. Or maybe it was Hermanson's 2 quality starts in 2003 -- qaulity start percentage of 33% Or that he only started one game while sucking it up for the BoSox -- In the last three seasons Hermanson has 9 quality starts -- Garland had 16 just last season, and 47 for the last three seasons --- If it's R/S that you value, Garland is the clear winner.

page 3 and the Tubgirl.com citation are my favorite.

My stats, which are corrected for Park factors and League, are meaningless? Yet you butcher the f*** out of wins shares all day.. Inexplicably chop up the season into month increments, and all together just pull s*** out your ass throw it up on the wall and call it a stat -- I guess you are just tired.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Jan 11, 2005 -> 10:51 PM) If you get a chance check out the win share thread. Hermie's #'s as a starter are better than both Garland's & Schow's. He spent 1/2 of last yr as a SP for the Brew crew. No they're not -- He played for the Giants, and Garland is better. Hermanson as a starter in 2004 -- 4.58ERA where the league average would be expected to be 4.44 -- 97 ERA+ Garland as a starter in 2004 -- 4.82ERA where the league average would be expected to be 4.89 -- 101 ERA+ Garland IP/start = 6.57 Hermanson IP/start = 5.78
