Fowler to the Cardinals

[Omar 382]

I just got my trophy. I guess I should say something. Here goes,
Three and a half years ago, I came here .... (fighting back tears).....with below average typing and commenting skills....and a dream to become one of those jerkoffs that posts random shit on a message board!

I'm actually working on a formula to see who's the better poster, and who deserves to be in Sports SportsHoopla HOF. Much like how home runs aren't everything in baseball, I figured out that likes are not everything in postings. It comes down to a mixture of likes, funny's, winner's, I love you man's, and, most importantly, chill's to determine whose the best. Here's the weights assigned to wOBA:

Similarly, my statistic, wBPE (weighted best poster ever) assigns the following weights:

Likes = 0.72
Funny's = 0.90
Winner's = 1.24
I Love You Man's = 1.56
Chills = 396.05

I upped the importance of being able to chill, because everyone knows how important it is for one's posts to be "chill." Now for my calculations in R:

Sorry Ced, that numbers don't lie. My wBPE sits at .441 (closest MLB wOBA is Joe DiMaggio, at .439), while your wBPE is closer to Ken Williams (.420), that guy for the Browns no one cares about. I think we'll both get into the Hall, but I'm clearly the better poster.

wwj: 2442 Likes; 3761 Funny; 2023 Winner; 90 ILYM; 9 Chill; 9522 posts = 1.9266

hmmmm.....

Yeah, but you got busted for domestic abuse back in '14. The voters will never let you in

your system is more flawed than the WAR calculation. There is no accounting for the cake rewards that I have accrued over the years.

Those look like some inflated Pacific Coast League numbers

I wish someone had given me one ABC Spelling so I could have put some ridiculous weight on it like I did for chill

Don't feel bad man. I did some research and it turns out that most of WillieJuan's ratings came from racists, Xenophobes, White Supremacists and the Alt Right crowd. There is also some evidence that the Russians hacked into SportsHoopla and gave him some extra "Likes" .

Also, my apologies to the Fowler family for having to read through all this garbage to get people's opinion on Dexter's new deal. Congratulations to Dexter Fowler for going from a poor man's Brett Gardner to a rich man's Brett Gardner.

Dexter Fowler's family reads through these forums????? Holy shit- I've got to get their signature and then pawn it for some vCash or credit for smack next time I'm in Cleveland and see @SlinkyRedfoot

This is amazing lol

What is?

Your post. It was great

 

[Omar 382]

Your post. It was great

Oh, I thought you were seeing the light on wOBA Actually, my post was B-grade material, reserved for when I have the crowd liquored up. But thanks for the compliment!

 

[Omar 382]

Just surpassed Bagwell. The race to 763 between you and me is about to get real in six months

Of course, there will be natural controversies on both sides. For me, it's PED accusations of rampant amphetamine use that sharpened my cognitive functionalities and posting abilities, and also the fact I have about 4,000 more posts than you. For you, it will be the fact that I was banned for nearly a year of posting time for a trumped up charge of calling an A's fan and moderator a "cocksucker," when you PM'ed me telling me to do it. As a 17 year old and minor at the time, the media is going to be all over the coercive power that you used to manipulate me before my brain had fully developed.

This is going to be better than Sosa v. McGwire

I just got my trophy. I guess I should say something. Here goes,
Three and a half years ago, I came here .... (fighting back tears).....with below average typing and commenting skills....and a dream to become one of those jerkoffs that posts random shit on a message board!

Damn.... I knew it'd be close, but even I did not think it would be this close. If you can get to 763 before me, the Hall might just put you in ahead of me as well. I'm really going to have to "up" my game for this next two week stretch run....

(Of course, if you do get to 763 likes first, I'll just have my buddy Joe Morgan publish an essay saying that you're unfit for election due to some character clause bullshit or whatever)

I'm just surprised we both lived this long.

Are you on the acid and/or pot again? I told you you need to give that crap up. Turns your brain to mush and makes your posts all sentimental and queer

There's a good chance Hoskins will beat both of us to 763

 

[Omar 382]

Yes, and we can both finally stop arguing about Bonds vs. Ted Williams, because Hoskins will be the unanimous GOAT left fielder
