    In my little league, we all had the name of our town on the front and on the hats, and then were nicknamed after a MLB team. Seems like a jeez, why?, stupid action by the MLB to me though.

    The sentiment towards Fielder also took a down turn around the Ryan Braun inking. Once he was locked up, I think a lot of folks accepted the fact that Fielder won't be around long term.

    As did I, minus the baseball playing. Worked well, and I was able to weasel my way into UW-Madison.

    Guys, this works too: Spoiler [+] Use [spoiler.][/spoiler.] tags without the period.

    We should not rush our players out of town, only to rush our prospects up to the big leagues. I think we give this core team at least one more season after this, and then maybe make some changes. See what Melvin can do this offseason to patch together a more competitive pitching staff. LaPorta should be contributing everyday very early in 2009, but that's about it. Gamel could spend a year at AAA working on his defense, maybe see the bigs in the second half of 2009. Escobar has stuff yet to prove, if he becomes a starter it shouldn't be until 2010. 2009 1B - Fielder 2B - Weeks 3B - Hall (Gamel later in the year) SS - Hardy 2010 1B - Fielder/LaPorta 2B - Weeks/Hardy 3B - Gamel SS - Hardy/Escobar

    Quick question...does SLG% take into account stolen bases? - No. If not, isn't a stolen base from 1st to 2nd like hitting a double? 2nd to 3rd like hitting a triple? Also no. You can't advance other runners with a steal. And, you can get caught stealing. A single + stolen base is roughly only worth 80% of a double. A double and stolen base is roughly worth 85% of a triple. So you can't just add it into their SLG, you'll lose accuracy. And stolen bases are much less valuable than most would think, unless you very, very rarely get caught. So that's why OPS correlates so well with runs scored despite ignoring SB and CS.

    I want to generate a bunch of different pages based on data in one excel file. I'd rather have some type of script that will spit out pages, for example, a page for each unique entry in column A. This is fairly ambitious for me, just something I wanted to look into to see how difficult it might be.

    Thanks, that'll get me in the right direction.

    Yeah, you could do some specific moments slides - Braves WS in '57, Nieves no-hitter, the game Casey mentioned above, ect. You seem to need 5 more slides, how about top 5 moments in Wisconsin baseball history?

    I love how Branyan has been escalated to God-like status. Objective me says good move, Hall needs a platoon partner badly and Branyan is at the least serviceable. The other part of me says, Wahoo!!! Branyan the Manyan, Russell the Muscle, welcome back to your rightful kingdom where you truly reign supreme!

    I'll preface by saying I know little about html... I have an excel file full of rows of data. How difficult would it be to write some type of script that would search this file for specified data, and export it in tables as an html file that I could upload to a server? (If you happen to be familiar with OOTP, I'm looking to create something similar to Catobase (Example), though a bit simpler and based off stats in an excel file.) Let me know if what I'm asking makes sense, and how tough/time consuming it would be - get me pointed in the right direction.

    There isn't really anything to suggest that Escobar will not outhit Hardy. It's not like it would take that much to do so anyways. Hardy, MLB - .659 OPS, .737 Career Escobar, AA - .723 OPS To say that Escobar, who's hitting about the same against AA pitchers as JJ is against MLB pitchers, will outhit him in the majors right now is just an odd thing to say. Also, Hardy plays fine defense. There wouldn't be that great of an improvement, if any at all, other than range. Which is, like, half the equation. Hardy's good, but Escobar's great, they say. It would be stupid to bring him up now, he won't be an improvement - probably not even in 2009. 2010 is probably Escobar's debut as a regular.

    I get something similar: I'm playing basketball and underneath the hoop in position for a rebound, when a shot glances off the rim and comes straight for my face. I instantly pop awake and simultaneously jerk my hands up. I usually get it during naps or around the time I'm supposed to wake up anyway. Its always a basketball rebound though. Another reoccurring dream I have comes in a few variations, but the main concept is I start at a location and have a head start on someone or something that wants to do me harm, sometimes more than one. I can go four directions, north south east or west, and the person chasing me basically guesses and I hope he guesses wrong - when there is more than one person its harder to win. This dream is often in third person too, and sometimes in places I recognize and sometimes not. The other weird thing is I'll replay this dream a few different times in the same night, usually trying different directions. I have no idea what it might mean.

    In fact, in the AL from 1998 to 2007 with the bases loaded and one out, batters had a .359 wOBA (weighted on-base average), as compared to an overall average wOBA of .343. Compare that to the average wOBA with runners on second and third, and one out: .348 First paragraph, I disagree. Its not "tougher" to pitch with the bases on, its just that worse pitchers load the bases more often. When you look at a situation that the Jake Peavey's of the league are rarely in, of course the pitching stats will be worse. Maybe I'm being picky.

    If you were expecting this movie to be great, you were kidding yourself going in.

    Maybe I'm remembering it wrong. Seeing as how our rebuild is appearing to be going a little off track, it might make sense to do a quick re-tool next season. Sheets gone, Fielder gone, Braun and hopefully Hart locked in long term, Gallardo gets back on track. Then we've got 2009 to figure out what to do in the MIF, CF, C, and pitching behind Gallardo. Dissapointing it would be, but I'd rather win 75 next season than 83 if it helps us win 90 two seasons from now.

    I know Buster Olney from ESPN said he thought Prince would be traded after this year. Given Prince's complain about his contract, his attitude so far this year, Boras as his agent, and a possibly ugly arbitration hearing - it unfortunately seems possible. I'm pretty sure Olney said after 2009, which makes sense. And I don't think his contract will have anything to do with him wanting to get out of town, at least not right now. We want to give him money, its his choice to go year to year. He'll earn the same amount here than he will anywhere else over the following three seasons.

    During one oversold game at Crosley field in the 30's, fans had to stand in roped off areas in foul territory. During one AB or between an inning or something, a woman ran onto the field and asked to throw a pitch. For some reason they let her (it didn't count of course), and she's regarded jokingly as the first female to play major league baseball, IIRC.

    Pods+Vizciano for Lee deserves much better than honorable mention. But good writing, good stuff.

    Hehe. Just looking for more.

    Its getting to that time of year again, and this season I'm designing a set of rules for a contract based fantasy football league. I'm posting here because the subset of people here that are also on LL.net, that also check during one of the biggest football dead times of the year, that also check the fantasy forum, that also are interested, seems to be very small. So just looking for a little more traffic right now to get a head start - I want more input on the rules. Here's the LINK to the thread. Please head on over if you'd be interested in a contract based fantasy football league this upcoming season. Try to shoot some holes in my rules, or offer some suggestions...

    I did that at a mini-golf course once...
