QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 25, 2011 -> 02:52 PM) Much as I despise this stupid law... I wouldn't recommend that reaction on your part, unless you want to spend some time in the police lock-up. Of course that would also make him sound more "American" and less like an illegal

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Apr 25, 2011 -> 09:09 PM) one of the strangest unwritten rules in baseball about pitchers not catching pop-ups, seen it backfire a decent amount of times. He didn't even seem to watch the ball. Show a little interest.

You gotta love the infield fly that the entire side of the Yankee infield watch fall.

Normally a game on national TV is the kiss of death. Now that I was able to see a full game, what have you guys been b****ing about? Pitching looks fine.

Wow.

Fire Walker? Then we need to bring in Tony Robbins to awaken the giant within.

I am upgrading my router and looking at ones with USB support for external drives and printers. I see the performance claims, then read some reviews, then read real world forums and finding they really differ. So I'll ask here where I know people. Anyone have experience with one where the all-in-one printer really works? Just printing? Scanning? How about the external storage, any issues there? As of the moment I had not thought about hooking it up to my DVR, but I may.

There will be differences because there are often times no clear right or wrong answers. It becomes what your vision for America is. Is it a survival of the fittest or more cooperative. Is the government there to help everyone, or to help no one?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 22, 2011 -> 06:58 AM) Then you'd have to figure in PHs as well. Yes, it would be based on whomever was hitting. With the computing power available, how about figuring what the hitter's probability is based on what they have done in their career with that situation. If the guy achieves an RBI rate of 25% of the time and another player only 5%, that should be factored in as well.

A little something for the glass is half full or half empty crowds.

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.

If we pool all of our Soxtalk resources, think we could buy the Dodgers? We could run it my committee, we'd win a WS every year.

I wondered how much they really could change the game itself. It's football. What could you do make the field 400 yards long and add warp speed? Throw in speed bumps? I guess I become a republican when companies get sued for being successful.

I believe other teams have managed to come from 6 back in five months to win a division. I know this team can as well. And I believe a little adversity in a season helps the team in the post season.

Now is the chance to be an expert by figuring out why the team will turn it around. Anyone can point out the problems, the fun is figuring out what no one else sees. So I am not surprised that fathom would start this thread. I am surprised he hasn't contributed more meat. That's what I was hoping to read.

We need to start rebuilding right now and follow the Indian's successful model.

Useless to try to avoid this thread . . .

Now that they won the division, how far will they get in the playoffs?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 03:06 PM) It takes a lot to get people to adapt a second team. People aren't going to adapt it just because ticket prices are chep. But if the cheap, available, tickets mean you can see more of a team, wouldn't that lead to a fanbase? I was surprised that the Bears would be an easier competitor than the Bulls. Now I can see why from these posts. I am also starting to believe that the Bears fanbase incudes a lot of "Cubs-like" fans who just enjoy the experience of attending an NFL game. The next question would be, if you had the money and the go ahead to start a team anywhere in the world, where would it be? I'm not certain if Chicago is the ultimate spot.

They would probably have cheaper seats at least for the first few seasons. Again, geography would be key. A suburban location would bleed off fans. They wold likely still cheer for the Bears as well, but you would see them attending games at the other stadium.

Decided only the Sox in 1st should kill this thread.

QUOTE (qwerty @ Apr 16, 2011 -> 06:13 PM) For those of you that don't believe the original poster was being serious... well i still do. Not often do i come across someone that has the same viewpoints as myself. I think some of you are just being naive... and hearing what you want to hear... because you guys just can't grasp that there are different ways of looking at things. Get real guys, you are in no way better than us. Peace, homies. And the Oscar for best supporting poster in a satirical thread goes to . . . qwerty

A suburban team of either sport would have a chance. I believe the revenue structure in football would make a NFL team an easier success. Imagine a Sunday game in Schaumburg at an indoor facility. Easy access via rail or road, restaurants close by, shopping at Woodfield for the rest of the family. hell, they could run shuttles from their parking lots.
