I love Deron and think he is at worst a top 3 PG. But, cp3 is playing lights out.

QUOTE (RME JICO @ Apr 23, 2008 -> 01:12 PM) What is wrong with this guy? He is 0-5 on the year with a 5.61 ERA and a 1.79 WHIP. He is 11-18 since signing his huge deal. Is he truly done? Is it an injury or did batters just figure him out? The hunger factor may be gone.

QUOTE (Linnwood @ Apr 23, 2008 -> 11:17 AM) Are you sure it didn't go in to the Sox dugout? you would think that because the outcome. It was in the 8th inning when the game was already over. But, right after it happened Joba gave up a base hit. Now I don't believe in superstitions like that, but I do know a lot of baseball players do. So, it does not matter if we believe it or not as long as they do. Hopefully it stays in the back of their heads for at least the next 2 games.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 23, 2008 -> 09:16 AM) Cabrera is way more than twice as good as Uribe. Obviously. Joba vs Uribe was painful to watch. I was surprised he made contact.

QUOTE (greasywheels121 @ Apr 23, 2008 -> 08:08 AM) That would be cool and all*, but I hope it doesn't happen. I love Izzo at MSU, and I'm excited for the future of the conference, now that everyone has a quality coach at the helm. *Not a Bulls fan. Weber is not Quality.

Did anyone else see it during the 8th inning? Let's not forget the last black cat

yeah, the Whole TMAC 1st rd s*** is sooooo Overblown

are we still in 1st?

Oh Yeah Sox - Twins 2 Royals 2.5 Indians 3.5 Tigers 4.0

Hopefully that Black Cat that ran past the Yankees Dugout does the same magic that it did to the 69 Cubs

QUOTE (Hawkfan @ Apr 22, 2008 -> 01:00 PM) Good article, definitely something to look for throughout the year. also good to know that cabrera is a hardcore partier and avid womanizer i guess. I asume you picked it up from this excerpt: It speaks of Cabrera's father, not Cabrera himself.

Hopefully the Sox spank the yanks on your Bday Happy Birthday Jason

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Apr 21, 2008 -> 07:31 PM) One thing that could hurt Frank if he doesn't play another game is the possible hall of fame ballot of 2014. As of right now the 2013 ballot is going to be ridiculous but due to steroid use a few of those guys will likely be on the ballot in 2014 as well. (the players in bold will almost definitely go in on the first ballot) 2013: Sosa, Clemens, Bonds, Piazza, Lofton, Biggio, Wells 2014: Thomas, Glavine?, Maddux?, Pettitte?, Johnson?, Hoffman?, Kent?, Mussina?, Rogers?, Garciaparra? I would not be the least surprised if Maddux plays 3 more years.

QUOTE (SoxFan101 @ Apr 22, 2008 -> 01:01 AM) Right now its Boston, but to be fair right now they have an elite team in all 3 major sports... any city that has that is going to have a lot of obnoxious fans. They were only good in 2 sports when the majority of their fans chanted "Yankees Suck" for an entire half inning at a Wsox-rsox game here in chicago during a summer 2005 game.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Apr 21, 2008 -> 03:57 PM) It's easily Boston's fans for me with a special *nod* to Cubbie fans everywhere. Yup, I should have put a spot for cub fans

QUOTE (DBAH0 @ Apr 21, 2008 -> 09:31 PM) Revised Zone Rating is the proportion of balls hit into a fielder's zone that he successfully converted into an out. Zone Rating was invented by John Dewan when he was CEO of Stats Inc. John is now the owner of Baseball Info Solutions, where he has revised the original Zone Rating calculation so that it now lists balls handled out of the zone (OOZ) separately (and doesn't include them in the ZR calculation) and doesn't give players extra credit for double plays (Stats had already made that change). We believe both changes improve Zone Ratings substantially. To get a full picture of a player's range, you should evaluate both his Revised Zone Rating and his plays made out of zone (OOZ). You can read more about the Revised Zone Ratings in this article. http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/article/...hardball-times/ Thanks DBAHO, I appreciate it. That's better info than I found.

some asshole just voted no to make it 2.

QUOTE (knightni @ Apr 21, 2008 -> 01:18 PM) Looking at this thread reminds me of Shingo's gong music at the Cell. Not exactly classy, either. a gong is a classical asian instrument. How is it different than latin music being played when ever a latin player comes up to bat? (which, I am pretty sure EVERY team does) Just saying.
