    "again-- i must believe that with all the money at stake for winning in mlb, and all the high priced talent in front offices assigned to evaluate almost every situation, if this was such a logical thing to do, it would be employed on a more regular basis. that is why it is a stupid theory--yes imho, more importantly in the judgement of the proffessionals who run mlb." It hasn't been until recently that baseball front offices have begun hiring statisticians to analyze stuff like this. At the end of the day, they still need to convince a manager to set the lineup and most managers are not brain surgeons - not to mention the backlash if it backfired. It's easier to go with convention than try something radical. I'm not surprised LaRussa (one of the more cerebral managers in the game) tried it first. He has the job security and resume to do whatever he wants. If all people did was go with convention, Knute Rockne wouldn't have revolutionized the forward pass and college football would still look like a rugby scrum.

    Guys that brag about the kind/amount of meat they consume are probably compensating for a lack of meat.....................in their freezers.

    "Nope. I'm more of "a man" because I eat venison, duck, pheasant and wild turkey." I didn't realize manhood was measured by the foods you eat.

    We've gone round and round on this is several threads and I want to see if we can collect both sides of the argument in one place. Me personally, I think wins over a career can show a measure of success. I think if you look at most 300 game winners, they will most likely all have the anciliary stats proving they were good. Where I disagree with using wins a yardstick for worth is season to season. I can't say Vargas was better than Capuano in 2007 just because Vargas had more wins. It's not because he "knows how to win" its because he had more run support. Also, to compare pitcher A on team A with pitcher B on team B solely on wins discounts the effect a poor defense may have had on pitcher B

    I used to use a free program called Search and Destroy. Worked like a charm.

    It could logically be argued that the Cubs have a better team than the Brewers, but to say they will 'run away' with the division is just ignorant.

    Ha! I bet this thread gets more views/posts than the Gagne or Cameron signings.

    So when did the Spurs draft Ginobli and Parker? How many guys on Detroit's team in '04 were drafted by the Pistons and not acquired via trade or free agency?
  15. homer
    I suppose I should have read through all the rankings and team blurbs before posting. Oh well - egg on my face.
  16. homer
    Yeah, it's got to be some kind of joke but you'd think there'd be some mention of that in his intro.

    No this is not a mis print. Eric Neel has the Crew ranked 29th in his initial power rankings: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=neel/080219 29. Milwaukee Brewers Eric Gagne apologized to his Brewers teammates for the "distraction" he caused them. The ritual (see Paul Lo Duca earlier this week as well) of these vague, no-questions-asked pressers has become so standardized, so utterly without content, that it made no difference whatsoever that Gagne had only just reported to camp that day. Am I missing the joke here? He also has Chicago Cubs ranked 26th.

    People that don't shovel and people that excessively pat themselves on the back are the two currently sticking in my craw.

    I paid $615 for a one bedroom on Kilbourn and Cass about five years ago. Had a great little deck overlooking Kilbourn but no real ammenities. You may want to look at Yankee Hill, Juneau Village, or East Pointe. Also, there are a bunch of near Prospect and Ogden that are fairly new.

    Sheesh, seeing that picture makes me feel old.
