You can't blame Rios for Riccardi giving him a huge contract...

I

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Apr 12, 2010 -> 05:22 PM) He hit the ball hard a couple times against the Indians. Since then he's looked terrible. Just like last year. He looked bad yesterday. He drove in 2 runs on Friday.

It just missed scraping the foul pole. Sucks for him.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 12, 2010 -> 04:45 PM) Nobody knows and that's the problem. His offense is too damn important to our team to f*** around with him. If someone can find me just one quote from a player saying they like to dh or that it helps their swing then I'll change my opinion but I guarantee you can't find one, cause they don't exist. He's not a liability in rf and until that happens he needs to remain out there. Jim Thome?

Today would have been a great day to give Nix some ABs. Tallet isn't the greatest left hander in baseball or anything...

No Aaron Hill this series. He's now on the DL. This should help us a bit.

He will commit suicide at the idea, but before that, he will go on a huge massacre, killing 15, all of which are on the team, including Juan Pierre, Mark Kotsay, and everybody that sucks. Then after this, he will commit suicide. At least this is what some say will happen if he is ever DH'd for more than one game.

QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Apr 12, 2010 -> 04:32 PM) Carl Everett says BS. The world is only 6000 years old, how can that s*** be even possible? Know what I'm sayin'? Nobody ever said nothin' bout limestone in the bible. That's some fake s***.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 12, 2010 -> 04:31 PM) Youtube's recommended next video is "Chan Ho Park Sprays Crowd". Not even kidding! I think we know what he sprayed them with, it might have been on accident too.

Delmon Young sucks at defense.

Hahaha, wow. Joba was laughing hysterically.

For some reason, this park seems gigantic. It must be the camera angles or something. The gaps seem incredibly deep.

QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Apr 12, 2010 -> 03:52 PM) Are they new or throwbacks? They seem to have a yellow tint to them which is usually a tell-tale sign of throwback jerseys. They are alternates. Their main home uniform is just like their old one.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 12, 2010 -> 03:56 PM) If D1 had come up in Boston and Lester had come up in Chicago, every one of those guys who predicted Lester would win the Cy Young award this year would have predicted D1 would win it instead. Maybe even more people than that. They were incredibly similar pitchers in 08. 09 was different though...

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 12, 2010 -> 03:35 PM) I'm confused. So what's the differences between UZR and RZR? Anyway, I do love this OOZ. RZR is simply the amount of balls the fielder got to in his zone. UZR is more complicated than just that. OOZ is a pretty good stat. Gutierrez made 113 plays that were out of his zone last year, simply amazing. I'd use these as a compliment to UZR. It breaks down every aspect of a fielder a lot better.

It's too bad they now longer have Blow Job Ryan as a closer.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 12, 2010 -> 11:43 AM) Over a season it will definitely tell you something. Over a week it tells you basically nothing. Based on how many samples these stats need to be accurate, you are probably right.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 12, 2010 -> 11:21 AM) No they haven't. The team ERA is still below 3, and I believe the bullpen's is 3 even. The bullpen this year looks better than what the Opening Day 2005 one did. Especially since we had Takatsu as our closer.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 12, 2010 -> 09:21 AM) That right there is enough to make me doubt the validity of the metric. Alexei has had an awful defensive start to this season with his stupid play. One play doesn't define a whole week though... +/- and UZR usually agree on a lot of things.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 12, 2010 -> 11:30 AM) To say that a week's worth of games is too small a sample size would be a massive understatement. Yeah, but these tell you what "above average" plays certain players made. Using DRS (defensive runs saved) might not be something smart here, but to see how many plays a player has made out of his zone and inside of his zone should tell you something.

QUOTE (Ken Harrelson @ Apr 11, 2010 -> 11:50 PM) my best memory at a game came from sex in that stall... I'm willing to bet this was when you could still do it without endangering your life.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Apr 11, 2010 -> 10:37 PM) He glided right into the wall when Kubel's HR landed an arm's reach above him yesterday... Nobody said he was Franklin Gutierrez.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 11, 2010 -> 11:17 PM) So you don't think it was a bad trade? I think it was pretty awful. I'm glad y'all made it, though. Back then, I had no idea how bad Delmon's defense was. With how Hawk talked about him, you'd think he was actually good.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 11, 2010 -> 09:01 PM) If the Bulls go 0-2, would the Raptors have to go 1-1? Yup, that's for them to get in.
