Brett Favre

You're a douchebag.

It's almost like I don't read every single word you post, ya know.

Santana can get hurt too ya know.

Chicago @ Washington (3.5) Carolina @ Jacksonville (10.5) (10.5) Dallas @ Detroit Miami @ Buffalo (7.5) N.Y. Giants @ Philadelphia (2.5) Oakland @ Green Bay (10.5) Pittsburgh @ New England (11.5) (1.5) San Diego @ Tennessee St. Louis @ Cincinnati (6.5) (3.5) Tampa Bay @ Houston Arizona @ Seattle (7.5) (8.5) Minnesota @ San Francisco (3.5) Cleveland @ N.Y. Jets Kansas City @ Denver (6.5) (9.5) Indianapolis @ Baltimore (4.5)New Orleans @ Atlanta Saints - 28 points yes

They weren't the top dog cause they didn't get respect.

Gus Johnson is real. Skip to 21-22 seconds in. Only the best commercial ever.

It should be Orton/Batista. Taker/Edge is a great matchup.

Cabrera lost 15 pounds. He means business.

I guess it's up to the Red Sox. If they don't trade him there and the Red Sox aren't changing their offer, then he'll probably stay (unless LAA jumps in).

The Rock should go. I understand he's much bigger than this but it's where he started.

I might have jumped the gun but this site has this: http://mvn.com/mlb-redsox/2007/12/04/frame...tana-a-red-sox/

I was playing about the anecdotes stuff. Anyway, Santana is a Red Sox. The centerfielder is Coco Crisp, and they added Ryan Kalish. So it's a 5-1. It sucks that I'm going to have to root against Santana now.

Yes, just like I said, I'll use my anecdotes and memories to measure the humanity of baseball.

Sometimes hitters don't just hit well in certain parks. For his career he's been a terrible hitter at Fenway compared to Tropicana field. Now, if you sign him being Boston thinking he's going to be nasty because he's in a hitter's ballpark, that's not going to be the case. Which is why you may need to look at his specific road splits. But looking at it more closely-er Fenway does have better pitchers than Tampa. You don't really NEED translated for real realz percentages.

Road Splits = Looking at how he does at other parks. Not just Home/Away.

They're not unnecessary. They help humans better evaluate other humans who play baseball. It helps people not make mistakes by over-valuing bizarro world performances. Teams that don't care for "unnecessary" things like translated stats think Nick Swisher is decent instead of awesome at baseball, because he hits in a home park at McAfee that has something like 15 acres (this is an estimation) of foul territory and is generally enormous. You could see the same thing with Padres hitters. You don't need some super ultra formula. You can just check his road splits. You make cheech look like Joe Morgan. ^ That's a really good deal for SD.

I don't like unnecessary numbers.

Hopefully you see why this is more useful when comparing players as opposed to using the original statistics (or worse). Oh hell no.

I don't know. I think when a guy gets on base 49% of the time (translated), he should be at the top of the lineup instead of the bottom. I guess I'm just silly like that. Translated? WTF? Is that like a WORVPTBNL stat or something? Bonderman got hurt? He always falls apart in the 2nd half of the year. You should trade for Harden and have him pitch the 2nd half of the year.

Polanco ain't going to hit at the top if Renteria is. And Granderson is leading off no matter what. He had a tremendous season. You can't have Polanco at like 2 and Sheff at like 6 and Guillen like at 7. What the hell is that?

It's going to be more like: Curtis Granderson Edgar Renteria Magglio Ordonez Miguel Cabrera Gary Sheffield Carlos Guillen Marcus Thames Placido Polanco Pudge Rodriguez

I think the Tiger pitching sucks other than Verlander. Bonderman sucked last year. Rogers is old. Willis hasn't pitched well in a while, and Robertson is alright as a 5th starter. But that offense will be great.

They got Team Venezuela going on there.

holy shit! on an unrelated note, it looks like my cabrera to the tigers pipe dream is over before it began. Actually, it looks like Miguel Cabrera is going to the Tigers. According to Steve Phillips.

That's a good poster. Can't wait to see the trailer.
