November 13, 200817 yr I appreciate the time and effort you put into figuring this out, but is 125 actually a milestone number in any regard? I mean, milestones usually go in increments of 50.

I mean, milestones usually go in increments of 50. true, then its fair to say that Bobby needs 33 saves to get to 150.
November 13, 200817 yr Author QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Nov 13, 2008 -> 08:45 PM) true, then its fair to say that Bobby needs 33 saves to get to 150. and Buehrle needs 28 wins next season.
November 13, 200817 yr I wonder how many home runs Konerko ends up with in his career. I'd say close to 400.
November 13, 200817 yr QUOTE (dww879 @ Nov 13, 2008 -> 06:41 PM) TCQ- 50 HR's until 100 Psssh. He'll have that by the All Star Break.
November 16, 200817 yr Im a little surprised to see Dye having slightly better career numbers than Konerko.. I wouldnt have even guessed that until I saw this
November 16, 200817 yr Baseball reference has them both at 298. Dye has had about almost an entire season more worth of at bats. They are closer than I thought too though.
November 16, 200817 yr Other Thome HR milestones: 8 HR's away from passing Mike Schmidt (13th all-time) 23 HR's away from passing Reggie Jackson (12th all-time assuming A-Rod passes him) 29 HR's away from passing Rafael Palmeiro (11th all-time assuming A-Rod passes him) 33 HR's away from passing Harmon Killebrew (10th all-time assuming A-Rod passes him)

November 16, 200817 yr QUOTE (3E8 @ Nov 15, 2008 -> 07:20 PM) What's with all the apostrophes Where is the question mark?
November 16, 200817 yr QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Nov 16, 2008 -> 02:23 AM) I believe the punctuation marks go inside the quotes. Au contraire, mon ami. http://www.grammarbook.com/punctuation/quotes.asp Rule 2. The placement of question marks with quotes follows logic. If a question is in quotation marks, the question mark should be placed inside the quotation marks. Examples: She asked, "Will you still be my friend?" Do you agree with the saying, "All's fair in love and war"? Here the question is outside the quote. NOTE: Only one ending punctuation mark is used with quotation marks. Also, the stronger punctuation mark wins. Therefore, no period after war is used.
