No, that's alright. I'd rather you to explain to me how posting stupid shit to get a reaction became a thing on the CBS boards.

huh?

so you dont want more examples?

what a weird turn this has suddenly taken.

also, you don't know how batter similarity scores work. They compare an active player's career to the entire careers of retired players. So yeah, players with ~700 career games aren't going to have a lot of "similar" players in the HOF. Mike Trout doesn't have any "similar" batters in the HOF.

He does make me laugh sometimes but every time someone hits a homer it sounds like he's getting blown.

hes a former sox great and a local guy. hes a bit of a homer, kinda like a light version of tommy heinsohn.

 

[The Q]

yup. blame the media, not the players.

besides, he pitched in the MWC. I'd imagine it's a lot easier than pitching the Pac-10 or SEC.

He dominated in summer ball too. Including a stint on Team USA

Seven potential replacements for John Farrell as Red Sox manager

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

-Strasburg missing a game because of a cold. I used to have some of my best games when I was sick. That's damn embarrassing. I wonder what the clubhouse thinks of him.
edit- guess he is starting now. mental damage may already be done, let's see if he struggles early.

-I like knowing we have Klubot, Miller, Allen ready to go. Hopefully the defense doesn't prolapse on the field again.

BIG munnies on the yankees tonight...YUGE

 

[molsaniceman]

Why does everyone assume it was strasbergs idea to not pitch? Wheres all the love for Dusty?You know the guy that actually makes these decisions
