Wow. I just put together a bunch of data sets, where a very well known professor has produced one data set, and I've produced another, and every analysis that's been done before now agrees with mine and says he did something wrong. That's kinda Freaky.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 08:14 PM) Crap, Kubel hits a slam in the 8th, he's hit for the cycle. What a terrible day of baseball. That's what, 3 players hitting for the cycle in 4 days? Is that suddenly becoming ordinary? At this rate we'll have like 75 guys do it this season.

If this isn't a conflict of interest, I don't think there is such a thing as a conflict of interest any more.

Ok, that's pretty darn good.

Booo.

QUOTE (Cochise @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 07:27 PM) Thank you. I am getting sick of people jumping ship and saying he was a fluke. Give him a chance, yeah he's been awful, but we're only 10 games into the season. If he throws up a week like you know he can his numbers will come back to the norm. Give it some more time before calling for his head. Not even close to calling for his head. Just think he needs to sit for a day.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 07:26 PM) There's no reason for him to be looking as clueless as he does right now. Slumping is one thing but Alexei is well beyond slumping. He def. needs some extra BP and video work, if nothing else. it's time for some days off. You don't trade for Betemit to not use him tomorrow.

Crappy way to end the game.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 07:15 PM) Nice hit for Betemit...I wish we could get him in the lineup more against RHP. Really, at this point, Alexei needs a couple days off. Betemit has a history saying he can fill in adequately.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 05:10 PM) I really wonder how nobody likes baseball in Florida when it's baseball weather all-year long. It's rainy and humid in the summer. And there's the occasional hurricane. And really, who was going to go to a Rays game until last year unless you like the visiting team?

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 05:28 PM) Our power hitters need to know they're never going to get a fastball on 3-2. Kind of remarkable that the league has gotten to that point.

DJ just said Bartolo got it up to 93.

Chris Getz is hitting .292.

Chris Getz and Brian Anderson and AJ Pierzynski 1...the Tampa Bay Rays 1.

Anderson has a 2 game hit streak!

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Apr 16, 2009 -> 06:46 PM) Now, I'm being a propagandist, right? Spreading hate, lies, because we don't know what would have happened, right? We have 3,000 people dead. I don't want any more AMERICANS dead from this. He's alive, somewhere, IIRC, and probably not living too badly compared to what he was. He endured 10 minutes of waterboarding. Yes, it sucks. But when our country is on the line, you bet your ass I side with them for doing it. THREE f***ing people had this done to them. THREE. Again, yes, it sucks. But it had/has to be done - we're not the ones who started this (oh wait, yes we are, we're supposed to be SORRY (thanks, Mr. Obama) for everything we do, I forgot.). I didn't want to bother replying to this again, but there's new facts to post. And they disagree with your caps.

Colon jumped to get that ball, according to Farmer? (checks the USGS earthquake site...)

Really? The score's ending commercial music was "Hail hail" off of Pearl Jam's "No Code"? I thought no one anywhere other than me remembered that alubm.

Tonight's advice from Walker was to swing early. Let's hope it works.

That first inning was Buehrle/Mulder fast.

At least Getz got a hit, and he's now up to .261 on the season. Now if we can just get a hit from Anderson today, and then one more between the 2 of them...

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 04:30 PM) That's a pretty fantastic defensive team Tampa has out there. Yup.

Ok, once again, we need 3 hits out of a combination of Anderson and Getz. Please.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 03:40 PM) Plus a lot of the blame can be put on fans who wont switch to the Rays. They live in the Tampa area but wont get behind the hometown team. For the last 10 years, could you blame them?
