Your're.  You're means you are.  A nun at St. Rita taught me to remember it by saying your pants are on fire, not you are pants on fire.  40 years and I still remember it, cause she'll come back and rap me one it if forget!

"your're?"

 

It was a reference to Anthrax's 3rd grade level grammar skills.

She taught me the usage but not how spell the damn word! I rarely read anything Anthrax writes so I missed the satire.

Sigh.

 

You sabermetricians are relentless.

Why stop there?  Why not include television ratings, and stadium atmosphere? 

 

Relentless? Not quite the word I'd use, but as they say, whatever floats your boat...

 

I find nothing wrong with what the stat uses to judge players. Maybe you don't like it because it makes Foulke out to be an awesome reliever, making the Koch/Foulke trade look even worse?

I thought it was ridiculous because 2000 was not Keith Foulke's best season. Put the tin foil away.

1999: 105.3 IP, 2.22 ERA, .94 WHIP, 123 K's.

2001: 81 IP, 2.33 ERA, .975 WHIP, 42/45 SV/SVO

 

I would take either of those years over his 2000 season. I would also take K-Rod's season last year over both of those years, and Damaso Marte had a great 2003 as well.
