Third in OBP and OPS, fourth in slugging. Plays third base on a contender. It's a crowded field and I went with a historically overlooked player.

Beetlejuice is now 20 years old. Yet every time I go to a baseball game, I have to hear this insipid crap three or four times a game, where the loudspeaker will play "Day-O" and the crowd repeats it like trained sheep. It's annoying as hell.

I used to hate high school starting early. Now that I'm long out though, it can't start early enough. Fuck y'all.

As I noted in Bored's blog, win shares goes by actual wins. After working out credit among the individual players as their statistics dictate, the system them distributes extra credit for a team that overperforms relative to their runs scored and allowed. Since the D'backs have won 11 more games than expected, this gives their players a huge boost. It's not like Byrnes has been ridiculously clutch or anything, so I really can't see the MVP. Braun, Cabrera and Ramirez I can't trust their fielding. Especially Braun, whose defense has cost them at least twice as I recall.

At this point, never underestimate their ability to put Batista in another title match. -

Utah Mine Rant
EVIL~! alkeiper commented on Prophet of Mike Zagurski's blog entry in TakerHart's Blog
The miners are long gone, probably have been since day one or two. Technology hasn't advanced to the point where we can push a button and travel down a mine. If it did, we wouldn't need miners to go in the first place. Working a mine is an inherently dangerous job. And it isn't that it happens more frequently as much as it is that every mine disaster gets reported these days. Not all mines are created alike either. The last mine in Pennsylvania was probably easier to access. -
I think Byrnes is up the list because the D'backs are outperforming their pythagorean record by 11 wins.

A quick note on Brandon Webb. He's the first pitcher to throw three straight shutouts since Roger Clemens in 1998.
-
Peter Abraham Super outfield prospect who's 18 and has been mashing in A-ball. He's slugging 9 points above the FSL average. Mashing is kind of a strong term. Assuming he makes it back though, he's the Yankees' #1 prospect (after Chamberlain exhausts his eligibility). The Sox can't afford to lose any more offense, they have little minor league depth and this isn't a long term commitment. Dye had a bad slump making his numbers look bad but he's been solid the last few months.

Does the younger generation remember WCW?

I don't have a low opinion of Gerald Brisco. It's worth mentioning though that the Crockett/McMahon war has its roots in the Briscos selling Georgia and the TBS timeslot to McMahon in 1984/85. -

The former, easily. Benoit rendered his wrestling ability meaningless with his actions. -

I'm sure Arn, Flair and co. would love to have it shown repeatedly how they hob-nobbed on television with a murderer. -
If he has a .395 OBP, it doesn't matter how many of those outs are strikeouts.

As was said earlier, the WBC was meaningless. The best players in baseball in the major leagues are routinely American, although lots of Hispanics dominate as well. The olympics was just a case of not playing well together, I don't think that proves America isn't the best country for producing talent. Are you willing to go so far as to say America is not the best country for producing talent in those two sports? If you are, that's an argument you will definitely end up on the losing side of. It's not that the best players are American. The important factor is where the foreigners come to play professionally.

Speaking of shorties, is this the Road Warriors/Freebirds match where the Warriors came to the ring and told the Birds, "we're not going for the finish."? -

Check out the JYD/Savage shortie. Gorilla tries to interview Elizabeth at ringside during the match, as he does with many managers. Savage sees Elizabeth talking to Gorilla and FLIPS. -
Sometimes you see a sight you never expected in a baseball game. Tonight in Scranton, Sal F'n Fasano stole second base. It was the first time he stole a base at any level since 2002.

Giambi did not test positive for steroid use and the proof resides in court testimony that should have been sealed. Giambi's steroid use came out because he was candid about it. If we punish a guy for speaking out, forget about ever finding any good information regarding steroid use in baseball.

Does the younger generation remember WCW?
EVIL~! alkeiper replied to Boxer's topic in General Wrestling
I have no qualms with how WCW is treated. Currently WWE puts many of their matches unedited on their own dvds, employs many who worked there formerly, and currently runs their flagship tv programs on their on demand service. If you don't want your competitors to treat your history unfairly, don't sell the company to them. I don't think WWE is really under any obligation to treat WCW better than they do. -
Marc Mero, add another one to your list
EVIL~! alkeiper replied to Prophet of Mike Zagurski's topic in General Wrestling
Mostly Heenan, but also Jimmy Hart. In fact he's on the Boston Garden show currently running on 24/7. -
As someone (Czech?) mentioned earlier, the big problem with American soccer is that the world's best players don't play in this country. The sports that are popular (MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL) in this country all feature the best players in their respective sports.

I'm glad to see Edwar Ramirez got the job done. A guy with his stuff can be considered marginal and won't stick if he falters. I don't know if he's MLB capable, but he's clearly too good for AAA.

A-Rod led off the ninth with a single, and here he keeps the game alive in the tenth. Table setting is just as important in these situations.
