That nasally douche Brian Paruck was killing a half hour last night on the Score, and he decided that by leading the list of players who have made the most outs:

Pete Rose, Hank Aaron, Rickey Henderson, Willie Mays, etc. that he was proving that the Sabermetric idea that avoiding outs is the most important thing was crap.  "Because hey, the best players in history made the most outs!"

I don't know how you even mount an argument against this lunacy.

Steven Hawking never made any outs in the MLB; ergo, he was the best player ever.

No one has ever shot a lower score than what I shot on a golf course this year.  I'm the best golfer ever, right?

And, since the point of golf is to hit the ball as few times as possible, doesn't that mean the best thing to do is not to play at all?

Dawson said. "I did what I had to do to play and get 20 years under my belt. I look back on it and I wouldn't do it any other way. I didn't need (steroids) in my body; I was blessed and talented and I took advantage of that."


Hmmm.  That is not an unequivocal denial, is it?

Sounds more like omitting all the pain killers (and possibly amphetamines since most players were taking them) tactfully to me.

He should go in as an Expo.  Goddamnit, I'm no Expos fan, but would it kill the league to have a reminder that an historic franchise existed, and that it wasn't represented solely by that smirking cock Gary Carter?
I think he's more of the appendix of Desipio.  Yeah, it's here and you're vaguely aware of it, but only if reminded.  The only time anyone notices it is when it ruptures (on Weebs in the video game thread).  Beyond that, though, it's basically useless and offers no redeeming value.

Personne à Montréal ne s'inquiète des Expos, et les ressortissants tournés par expos ne s'inquiètent pas de leurs anciens joueurs de Montréal. Honorant une organisation et une ville qui ne s'inquiètent pas au-dessus d'une ville et d'un joueur que les soins est passionément ridicule.
