  1. Thats ok, I can't watch that show without hearing Bob Saget in the Aristocrats. That's a bit more disturbing.
  2. So wait, do Christians hate America or does America hate Christians? Or is only liberals who hate Christians? God, you know I just can't keep up anymore...
  3. Actually, somebody asked you to stop the periods thing a few days ago in a wilco thread somewhere.
  4. Defend your fucking opinion with some examples, you idiot.
  5. That is essentially my point. Just because it is used doesn't mean it should be. In all fairness to "wins" it is a better stat than Catcher's era.
  6. Really? Because the one thing I like about Wilco is you never know what they are going to sound like next. Sure, you can tell it's Wilco because of Jeff's voice, but other than that, there's no way I'd be able to tell YHF, Summerteeth and SBS (just to pick 3) are from the same band. There's no "Wilco sound". It's something you've attributed to them after the fact.
  7. Just because it's accepted in the game doesn't mean it's not meaningless. Just because agents use it to get money out of teams doesn't mean it's not meaningless. It is meaningless because the pitcher has very little control over it. I refuse to believe that just because something is used by people in the game, it has value. Basically, my point is, it should be meaningless, and the fact that the agents, players, managers, general managers, and owners are hanging onto it even though anyone with half a brain can realize it doesn't really tell you anything about the pitcher says more about the o
  8. I caught a fish and gutted it and all that myself one time. Does that mean I'm allowed to eat meat and not feel guilty? Boy I hope so. It would be a huge burden off of my shoulders.
  9. I'd have to say, I know more about music than anyone here. And it's not even close.
  10. She's got the pot/meth thread.
  11. The value it is assigned does not come from within the game itself. Putting it that way means it sprung forth fully formed from the game. This is not so. About 125 years ago, they needed some way to quantify a pitcher's ability, and since back then, most pitchers threw every pitch in a game, it was a good stat to use, as it was fairly all encompassing (though there was still the problem that the pitcher couldn't control what his team did. Nevertheless, more useful than it is now). But pretty much ever since the day when most pitchers threw complete games most of the time, it has degraded in us
  12. I would definitely say I'm more likely to do something like shrooms before I do coke, but even then, I'll probably never do shrooms. They scare the shit out of me. Also, shouldn't somebody be scolding you guys for talking about thing with impressionable young minds around?
  13. I probably own about 100 physical cd's, and then I have like another 600 or so of the "digital" kind.
  14. 600 cd's sounds like a lot. He must know alot about music.
  15. So, in other words, it has no inherent value in judging a player's ability, but rather has the value we decide to assign to it. That sounds pretty meaningless to me.
  16. Sky Blue Sky....Sounds like The Beatles............Eagles...............Allman Brothers.............and Badfinger.........at various times..........during the course.........of the record.....and it is your......a...v....a...t....a...r..
  17. I think after basically throwing Barry under the bus the last year and a half, the least Selig could do was be there. He points to the fact that the comissioner wasn't there when Aaron and Maris broke their records, but it was a different time. If you are telling me he can't do whatever business he needs to do from the road, then MLB seriously needs to consider upgrading their equipment. I just don't buy the "he's a busy man" thing. I get missing the game because of the HoF induction, but other than that, he should be there, and he should expect us to stand up and applaud when he shows up.
  18. We do have to applaud the Herculean effort that is flying a chartered jet around the country and going to baseball games. It's a tough life. I actually do like Selig, but I think he's handled this thing poorly from the very beginning (the mid 90's.)
  19. 755. Very nice story regarding 756: Trevor Hoffman's longtime bullpen catcher Mark Marella is fighting cancer, so Trevor said if he caught it, he would sell the ball and then give the money to Marella. Nikolai Bonds, Barry's son, is hoping to get the ball back from the guy who caught 755 and sell the ball and give it to Marella. I'm not liking what we are seeing from Bud. Why even be there. You are the comissioner of the game, and no matter what you feel about him, it's not that hard to swallow your pride and applaud. It makes the game look bad. It's so hard being the commissioner.
  20. "Bitchtits" is like my favorite word ever. And Bob is great, especially because he is Meatloaf. Best casting ever.
  21. Good job, asshole. You broke Kevin Youkilis. Since I made this post: .245/.376/.329 Ouch.
