I looked through the entire link and did a search and still can't find out what the fuck ZORP is supposed to stand for.

I'm with you guys on the statfags. A friend of a friend of mine claims he can manage a baseball team better than an MLB manager using just Sabremetrics. Then again, he's a Reds fan, so he probably could do a better job than Dustfuck.

Sabremetrics stats are mildly interesting to evaluate for people that realize they're just tools, not a way for computer geeks who've never played baseball to claim they're baseball experts because they wrote a few formulas in an Excel spreadsheet.

This has all the makings of a wonderful day at Desipio.

That is, if you faggots don't go and fuck it all up.

Which you probably will.

Oh yeah? How do you know that? I bet you added up some probabilitizations or something, statfaggot. So, here is some numbers you can understand: you should 100% fuck off, nerd.

What in the world?  What is wrong with you guys?  Listen, statistics can be a beautiful thing and they don't lie.  I thought you guys loved to add and divide.  Remember that time RV taught me to subtract.  NOW, I can't stop doing it!  I think we all just need to step back and realize that math is here to stay.  Personally, I feel a lot---A LOT---better about my cubs manager if he doesn't have to just WATCH the game to figure things out.  Sure, that's ONE way to do it, but what about him looking at the scorebard and seeing that Aramis Ramirez has a lot of homers and saying "that guy has power...he's one of our power hitters...he should hit 4th or somewhere"?  I think that's a plus(ADDITION).  We can all get along.  It's not like some guy's talking about being ghey or something.  We're all dudes in here and out there.

That's some good perspective right there. I'll just add that in all my years I've never seen an Excel formula hit a bases-clearing triple or rub some neosporin on a teammate's infected boil.

Yeah, but how did you KNOW it was a triple?  What?  I couldn't hear you.  Yeah. That's right.  Math.  

Circle gets the square root of 64 multiplied by 7 minus 4 equals a win for me and math.  

Fellas, we can argue statistics until we blew in our faces, but it's not gonna change the perplexion of the game as it stands right now.  But, I'll do it if that's what it's gonna take to turn some heads.  It's on like donkey dong.

10 things even worse than Alfonso Soriano:

1-9. This post.
10. Communism.

Well, drop your drawers and reach for the dirt, Charlie.

Daddy's gonna show you a thing or two about linear weights.

Yeah, while you're calculating the best route to invade my butt, I'm gonna be UP IN YOUR FACE.

Punching.

So, add that up! You still wanna go, math wizard?

3B: Adrian Beltre: "A .784 OPS is horrible for a middle of the order corner infielder!" SAY THAT TO MY FUCKING FACE AND I WILL SLATHER YOU IN OIL AND WRESTLE YOUR ASS TO THE GROUND, STATFAGGOT! 25 home runs faggots! NAME ONE STATISTIC MORE GUARANTEED TO HELP YOUR TEAM SCORE RUNS THAN HOME RUNS! JUST ONE! GOD DAMN I NEED A FUCKING CHEST BUMP!

Only some queerometrician would give this to someone like Adrian Beltre. Mark Rennolds is a brainful ballplayer and a lot of the time he hits the ball harder than most other baseball players who've ever played.

He's also faster and hits more homers and drives in more RUNS than Adrian. That's like 6 tools that he's better at than BELTRE. He probably also has a planer which are kind of going out of style so that's like 7. You know whose team had 82 wins? THE DAIMONDBACKS! Thats who. You know who played for them? MATT REYNOLDS! That's who. Adrian Beltre played for the Mariners and they had like 200 losses. LOL IS THAT BASEBALL?!

MAROL REYNOL

I'd like to think I can tell some reverse psychology when I see it.

If there's one complaint about the current Cubs - it's that they don't spend enough money on scouting and player development.

Me ranting'd

Hi. We're ghey.

Maybe Hendry should pay them more so they choose to be not ghey.

You statFAGGOTS need to realize the Cubs led the league in ZORP and still have no World Series. Point me, STATFAGGOTS zero. The reason the Cubs didn't win shit is because they're not close knit. Hell, they don't even share hotel rooms. Even Selfish Soriano has his shitty RBI total gets his own suite on road trips. When I played legion, we played in a tournament in another state and we shared 4 to a room. Something you homo's can't understand is bonding with guys while taking shits in another teammates bathroom, falling asleep in each other's arms after an RBI-less game, or making prank phone calls. But you statfaggots wouldn't understand. To help you pussies, I did some faggoty research for you:

Mark Derosa roomed with Jim Edmonds: 8 RBI's+RUNS

Derrek Lee + No Roommate: 0 RBI's+Runs

Aramis Ramirez + No Roommate: 0 RBI's+Runs

Alfonso Soriano + No Roommate: 0 RBI's+Runs

You guys are the biggest bunch of faggot pussies I have ever seen. Grow a big set of manly luscious balls before you reply or don't reply at all.

SAP Y'ALL. DANG! Listen to this guy, you stratomaggots!

I enjoyed these two days in 2006 when Hank almost single-handedly drove the Cubs to the playoffs at the expense of Milwaukee.

I like that Hank's B-R player ID is blanche01.

Has he been French all this time and I just didn't notice?

And thus the pieces of the BACON LOOP begin to assemble.

Holy bejebus, Jon. That's some fucking overkill.

More inside ShoutBox humor'd.

Since we needed more of that around here.

Soon I'll have to start avoiding Desipio too.

We can communicate via the fantasy basketball boards.  Inside jokes there are very easy to figure out so no one's left out! 

I'm on the verge of signing a three year deal* with Eli's blog. I'll keep you posted. Negotiations are tense.

Edit: Just in case you didn't get the hint, the link contains spoilers.

Jason Varitek is the best catcher in the AL, second best all-time (CAAAAARLTON!!!!) and he's getting screwed--SCREWED--because of that asshole, Scott Boras. Dude deserves $10mil a year for what he does for the SAWX.  FCKUFING STATGAFS!

He probably has a file on you, sir.

You ever get a response to your friendly letters?

(Beyond Al's ex post facto CYA rule changes, of course.)

Maybe, but it (like everything Al writes) was probably 6,000 words and not read by me.
