QUOTE(The Critic @ Nov 16, 2007 -> 08:28 PM) I just read this on Yahoo: http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2007-1...name-game_N.htm The part that caught my attention was this: "major league baseball players whose first or last names began with K (the strikeout-signifying letter) are significantly more likely to strike out, according to the report published in the December issue of Psychological Science." So here are the all-time single season strikeout leaders: http://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/SO_season.shtml The FIRST person with a K in either name? Dave Kingman, tied for 89th place, then Kingman again tied for 110th place. The first non-Kingman K name? Ron Kittle, tied for 135th place all-time. Career strikeout leader for the letter K? Kingman, 10th all-time, followed by Harmon Killebrew at 15, Ken Griffey Jr at 25 and Jeff Kent at 48. Not exactly "significantly" more likely to strike out IMO... 1. Reggie Jackson+* 2597 L 2. Sammy Sosa (38) 2306 R 3. Jim Thome* (36) 2043 L 4. Andres Galarraga 2003 R 5. Jose Canseco 1942 R 6. Willie Stargell+* 1936 L 7. Mike Schmidt+ 1883 R 8. Fred McGriff* 1882 L 9. Tony Perez+ 1867 R 10. Dave Kingman 1816 R 11. Bobby Bonds 1757 R 12. Craig Biggio (41) 1753 R 13. Dale Murphy 1748 R 14. Lou Brock+* 1730 L 15. Mickey Mantle+# 1710 B 16. Harmon Killebrew+ 1699 R 17. Chili Davis# 1698 B 18. Dwight Evans 1697 R 19. Rickey Henderson 1694 R 20. Dave Winfield+ 1686 R 6 of 20. Yeah. That theory works out well. FWIW, Thome could have the record in 3 seasons.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Nov 15, 2007 -> 12:30 PM) I suggested Herges a couple days ago. I think he'd be an ideal addition to our bullpen. We'd still probably want to carry 12 pitchers, esp. if we move a starter and go with the 2 kids...but that's exactly the kind of guy I want to add. Older, experienced, maybe cheaper than other guys, doesn't cost a draft pick, short term contract, might mesh well with the kids, and would still leave us room to try out either Masset, Aardsma, or sign one of the Japanese guys if we though they were worth the $. Herges and AJ hate each other almost as much as Tomko and AJ hate each other.

I can easily see Rolen in Boston, but I don't know if he has a "no-trade" or not.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Nov 15, 2007 -> 12:52 PM) As I posted...yesterday. HEY! Drunk elephants move slow.

What are you thinking about? My girlfriend always asked me, without a doubt. Lamest question on Earth. I was always left in dearth. That's why she's on the way out.

Story's been retracted as false.

I love my new avatar.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Nov 12, 2007 -> 10:45 AM) Didnt he go to Japan so he could avoid the amateur draft and then sign with whomever he wanted(ie. paid him the most)? Just curious, I thought I remembered reading something like that I don't think so. He's from the Dominican Republic. They aren't subject to the draft.

QUOTE(longshot7 @ Nov 12, 2007 -> 01:08 PM) But it was HORRIBLE compared to the book - one of the best horror books ever in my opinion. The movie freakin gutted the story. I said it was good, not Oscar-winning. Besides, when was the last time a screenwriter didn't "gut" a book?

QUOTE(Brian @ Nov 12, 2007 -> 10:01 AM) Check www.familyguynow.com throughout the week. Not sure how fast they post the episodes. Their site has been down lately. Any other suggestions?

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Nov 12, 2007 -> 04:57 AM) Just why on earth would they trade Corey Hart to the White Sox? Because he wears sunglasses at night?

QUOTE(BearSox @ Nov 12, 2007 -> 12:01 AM) my only question is who would lead off? But then again, we don't need a leadoff hitter with a middle of the order of: 3. Cabrera 4. Thome 5. Konerko 6. Dye Be serious. You need a leadoff guy no matter what.

Yeah. Very few great teams have the ability to give up 76 points in a game.

Damn... where can I watch the episode?

Thanks for ruining it for me.

QUOTE(SEALgep @ Nov 11, 2007 -> 03:22 PM) You would certainly have the option of moving Cabrera there, and finding a new LF. Yep. Andy Gonzalez.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Nov 11, 2007 -> 03:37 PM) I'd put the deal over the top. No doubt. But, I could never submit someone to Marlins fandom. It's heartbreak waiting to happen.
