GDT - Rockies @ Giants - 8/31/10

[calsnowskier]

So weird that stat, relievers get Ws after blown saves all the time.

But wins are the only way to evaluate pitchers, just ask Tito

I think the only "win" stat that really would be even somewhat usable would be something like this...

If a SP leaves the game with the lead, he gets a win. If he leaves trailing, he gets a loss.

Period.

I wonder who would lead the league in this category now...

Don't forget that Belt will take over the 1B job tomorrow and will end up winning the ROY award with 25 HR in September.

And we will trade Rowand for Carl Crawford.

Really? That would be so cool.

Huge game tomorrow.....

I would only be OK with that if TB signs him to an extension first and then pays the bulk of his contract.

But the story goes... after someone predicted a 17-11 August I commented that if that occurred we'd win the division. This was in the beggining of August. Then some Padre troll come over last week and took that comment way out of context, and couldn't understand that it was a hypothetical.

THIS. +1.

Come on msg, you're my boy, but you have your obsessive compulsive dialogues with Teh Trolls over there too.

Just sayin'

I think we all get pulled in by the maelstrom of suck that is the ESPN cadre of troll tools from time to time.

I'll admit Livin really got to me but i'm fine now. I now enjoy skewering those loonies with no rancor.

But the quote above was gp not me.

Yeah, it's hard to ignore the easy chances at showing off smarts. Bunch of dummies, and the smart ones are insane or have personality disorders.

 

[filosofy29]

Careful, you sound a little like that lunatic over at ESPN saying 'take out that 25-5 run and the Giants suck blah blah'

I mean, if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle

August was a tough schedule, September gets easier and the Pads might be FINALLY coming back to earth

This was the post that gp was responding to. I was saying that I agreed with his response to the above.

Agreed, I was just saying we all have our guilty little pleasures. Livin and Nolan are yours, MrBigBig was gp's and mine. That's all mang, no biggie.

This, from Shulmans blog:


The average record of the 10 wild-card winners from 2000-09, after Sept. 1, was 18-10.

I have them going 18-11, which would give us 92 wins. I think that gets us in the playoffs.

FWIW, the Philth are beating down the doyers 2-0 in the fourth.
