BTW, did anyone notice my new member designation?

Ha! I hadn't noticed it. I think you should just be M.C.

Hahaha! The Hammer! Quick story: After my first day of football practice when I was 8, I came home ecstatic that coach told me that I was a wide receiver and not a corner back. My dad replied, "I don't know. It's usually better to be the hammer than the nail."

Your handle is a misnomer.....

You know you're right, I can see how my hate might not come across as accurately as I feel it.

Let's beat those fucking putos!!

Please Hammer, Don't Hurt 'Em!

Here goes my uneducated attempt (or at least no actual research done on my part.....so excuse me if I go horribly awry). I think this strategy is "pretty" severely dependent upon lineup (not that you guys were saying/thinking otherwsie). If you have a hitter like Bonds/Pujols/Cabrera/Votto/ManRam (in his prime) or someone of that ilk, I kind of like the strategy. If you had a lineup similar to the Oakland A's (but as a National League team obviously), I don't think this lineup is as beneficial as the standard rule of thumb one. But I could be very, very wrong.

Just constructed a lineup of identical hitters, aside from the pitcher, and the end result was 3.9 more wins per year. Expected wins went up!

True story: back in the late 80s I was a mobile DJ in San Francisco (weddings, reunions, etc.). A guy named Stanley Burrell came around giving all of us free copies of a song called "Ring 'Em" which he had privately pressed. Turned out to be Stanley "MC Hammer" Burrell's first single. I still have it.

Off to the yard to watch some doyer ass kicking.

Go Zeets & fuck Kershaw.
