QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 22, 2011 -> 01:20 PM) A-Team Not bad. Going to the movies tonight, what should I see? If Win Win is still out I'd go with that.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 22, 2011 -> 10:08 AM) I bet you could take them from his throat pretty easily without him knowing. I'm frightened by what you may be insinuating there.

QUOTE (False Alarm @ Apr 22, 2011 -> 09:34 AM) i love any thread that has karko's throat skin. If I could only get a hold of some stem cells.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 21, 2011 -> 04:49 PM) WEEDS comes back June 27th. Don't know why I still watch the show but I do. That show is awful now.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 22, 2011 -> 08:20 AM) This is about the 3rd time I've said this to you now, so I'm going to try to be as clear as possible. "I don't care about the price. It's being paid by another person's grant money because I taught his class this term, freeing him up to do actual work." Thanks for the suggestion though. Deals just are bouncing off of me. A good way to stick out at work is to save the company money where you can. *shrugs shoulders*

QUOTE (Paint it Black @ Apr 22, 2011 -> 12:35 AM) So the Sox hit tonight. I fully expect the "fire Greg Walker" crowd to take back their comments. Oh wait who am I kidding. It's funny. For being so optimistic you sure are extremely passive aggressive and negative a heck of a lot. How about enjoying the win?

QUOTE (Tex @ Apr 22, 2011 -> 05:46 AM) I'm one of those that prefers to watch baseball without a math lesson and decimals to the .00001. But I do like this discussion. And what would be the benefit? A human manager determined that the odds of that runner(s) scoring was greater with the starter than with the relief pitcher. If the manager is making the correct call more than half the time, it could be argued that the current system does lower the starters era because he would have given up even more runs than what a relief pitcher does. Still I am drawn to the idea. SS added a great point. I think the way the stat could be compiled would fall along the lines of a + or - from probability of scoring. How far down you want to drill would be a function of computing power and building the software. Basically the simplest way would be X% of runners on 2nd with 2 outs score. What % of runners in that situation did reliever A allow? Sample size becomes a problem. But you could go so far as building in likelihood based on the batters the reliever faces. That would work out the difference in a reliever facing the 6-7-8 hitters and one facing their 2-3-4 hitters. Then you'd have to figure in PHs as well.

f*** yeah!

I see that 1st ballot HOFer Dan Hudson had another tough luck loss.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 21, 2011 -> 04:39 PM) Clayton Kershaw is a stud. Feels like we're watching the makings of a HOF career. What's that?

QUOTE (scenario @ Apr 21, 2011 -> 04:13 PM) Teahen's offense vs. Brent's defense... It's a Morel dilemma. *tips his server*

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Apr 21, 2011 -> 03:26 PM) I'm guaranteeing a win tonight. This streak will not go past 7 days. If they lose, I will personally go to your house and punch your face in front of your girlfriend.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 21, 2011 -> 02:50 PM) Plus B&B had a 15 minute argument over pancakes being served at Waffle House the other week. That was pretty epic. Bernsie got pwned.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 21, 2011 -> 02:39 PM) For the love of baseball... please win. Just need a 7 20 game win streak to make it all better. I'm greedy.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 21, 2011 -> 02:16 PM) Morel has great upside, but Teahan is not a dud at 3B. I don't think he actually has all that much experience at 3B either as he did play the OF even for the Royals. You can't be serious. He's an absolute butcher out there.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 21, 2011 -> 02:08 PM) I find it a much bigger issue that the cell phone carriers are tracking and storing remotely your GPS location information. Thats a much bigger privacy issue IMO. I think they're equally troubling.

Ozzie stressing defense is the biggest myth. (see: 2006 decision to use Mackowiak over Anderson in CF)
