BTW that horrible, atrocious, god awful hitter Adam Dunn? OPS+ of 134.

The only reason I compared him to Dunn is the fact that he can't hit for average and either HRs, Ks or walks. Dunn this year though is doing a bit better in the average department while not walking as much -- trade off I suppose. Betemit is nowhere near as good a hitter as Dunn, just is similar in his production style. I'm sorry, but again, there's more to deciding on a team and a lineup than just Sabermetrics and stuff like that.

p.s. What's going on with James Shields? Damn, he's sucking it up since I grabbed him off of free agency. ><

Three straight outings now with 5+ runs given up.

Of course, you can't blame him tonight, with that potent White Sox offense and all.

 

[Windu]

woohoo salty hits a homer agian 2-1!

Yes brother, these "stats" are things fans of teams with no payroll (like the A's) use to justify letting their talented players go to free agency and their rosters of players nobody ever heard of.

I'm not saying that there isnt any importance to them, but noone in their right mind would play Wilson Betemit over Nomar Garciaparra unless they were looking at a spreadsheet.

 

[Matrix]

B-G-O ...3 hits till 3,000

 

[Windu]

Andruw back from the dead! 3 run homer!

I wasn't being sarcastic! Like any good Angels fan I fail to see how masturbating to stats whose acronyms are so byzantine I'm starting to think they're just making shit up and passing it off as something real does anything to build a solid contender.

 

[LJ11]

We shouldn't be having trouble with the Cards. Shea's kept at least two balls in the park tonight.

 

[Triumph]

The Braves have scored in back to back games. This is truly a Herculean feat, my friends.

I know this feeling all too well buddy

 

[LJ11]

Terrible error by Valentine.

 

[The Frankman]

oh god Valentin please. Seriously, can't you have fielded the ball in your glove cleanly?

 

[Eminem]

Thank god.

Now we only need to get through one inning of our awful bullpen before Jenks comes in.

 

[Windu]

diaz you have 2 hands for a reason...

 

[R_GILL]

God damn it, how did we not score there.

 

[Eminem]

White Sox win two games in a row for the first time in over a month, wooooooo

 

[The Frankman]

Sexy Lo Duca hits one out!! C'mon Mets, keep it a 1-run game, St. Louis has to pen!!

Nice job aholes.

Up 4-2 in the 6th against the Brewers, OOPS!

Brewers score 9 in the 6th, capped with a grand slam. The teams 5th (!!!) of the year so far.

Thanks a lot matrix and miguel! Cubs can't make up any ground with your POS team playing the Brewers!

 

[Matrix]

All I do is laugh when I watch the Stros :lol,it's beyond sad now.

 

[LJ11]

This Ryan kid killed us all day. Schoeneweisis garbage.

 

[Kuroyume]

Schoeneweis and Sele for Buehrle

 

[LJ11]

Valentine fails again. D has been piss poor the last two games.

 

[NomarTyme]

Loney for the Tie! YEAH!

Edit: Holy Crap Bills with a 2 run double!

 

[The Frankman]

Any teams needing a reliever, I have a slighty used Scott Blowenewei- I MEAN Schoeneweis for sale. Any takers? I'm willing to reopen talks involving the Wily Ohman deal.

 

[distantmantra]

Funk blast for Willie!!

 

[GaimeGuy]

Twins-Jays in the 11th inning.

 

[The Frankman]

After the Delgado double (now he hits??), LaRussa is bringing a lefty the face Shawn Green. Guess who else is warming in the pen...

 

[Mrbob]

Oh come on not again in the 9th.

 

[NomarTyme]

Woot! Nice outfield play by Pierre! Amazing!

EFFING CHAD YOU SUCK!!!!!!! YOU"ll NEVER BE A STARTER!

 

[Meier]

Dammit Chad.

 

[Dez]

frack.. The Twins are good at getting the cheapest ass hits. Players like Castillo just piss me off, lol.

 

[NomarTyme]

Stretch is in Dodgers waving the white flag.

Edit: NVM Good job Lurch.

Why is Kent still in the lineup? YOU SUCK KENT! Go ride a motor cycle and hurt yourself, oh yeah take Nomar with you.

 

[Freest Rolexes]

Christ, Sox, its the goddam Mariners. I can't believe they're beating us around like this. ****.

 

[Zep]

[Freest Rolexes]

Well, at least King Felix blows tonight. This game is goign to end up being like 11-10.

 

[Triumph]

Braves win, Mets lose and the Mets and Phils are set to kick the shit out of each other this weekend. All is right in the baseball world!

 

[The Frankman]

Braves win, Mets lose and the Mets are set to kick the shit out the Phils this weekend. All is right in the baseball world as we try to actually get 2nd place!
