I think Phil might have brain cancer.

QuoteAt this time last season, Wise was quietly going to work every morning in the Sox's minor league camp. Few knew he was even there. He's with his fourth big league team and holds a .214 batting average and .254 on-base percentage after 240 big league games.

And this is the guy Williams and Guillen have picked to lead off for a team they privately believe should cruise to an American League Central title?

That's confidence.

One good thing about leading off with Wise is that it protects two guys who would make more sense there: rookie Chris Getz, penciled in at No. 2, and 2008 stud Alexei Ramirez, who could hit as low as eighth against right-handers.

Having a strong leadoff hitter is hardly essential to winning, however. There are only about 10 of those guys in the major leagues, and not all are on playoff teams. No need to trade for Juan Pierre to get one.

Maybe he's just displaying his rapist's wit. Nah.

I'd actually Agree with Phil that a strong leadoff hitter Isn't essential to winning. What I'd disagree with is the idea that the you don't need good hitters at all, a philosophy the White Sox seem to be embracing. And my God am I tired of the shlop job the media is doing over Alexei Ramirez of the .290 BA with the .317 OBP.

He hit a GRAND SLAM once!  A grand slam!

I forgot about that. Never mind, he truly is CHICAGO'S GREATEST BASEBALL PLAYER

Does it bother anyone else that so much intellectual energy has been wasted on questions of FAITH when that energy could have been used to actually advance human kind and further our understanding of the world?

You spend hours and hours in this place, but you think it's a waste of time to discuss faith, reason, meaning, etc.?  After all, you could have been out advancing human kind and furthering your understand of the world.

Sounds like someone needs a reprogramming.

You must stop imagining that posterity will vindicate you, Eli. Posterity will never hear of you. You will be lifted clean out from the stream of history. We shall turn you into gas and pour you into the stratosphere. Nothing will remain of you: not a name in a register, not a memory in a living brain. You will be annihilated in the past as well as in the future. You will never have existed.

College words. This is why we don't see winged spiders or wolves with horns.

A wolf with horns would be pretty badass. Stupid evolution.

And yet we end up with a zebra-horse hybrid... wtf.

I blame the Russians.

Just leave the Ukrainians out of it?  OK?

I'll do no such kindness for a bunch of lousy Cossacks.

http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2009/02/pirates-invite.html ... you know, in case you were wonderin what Craig Monroe and Juan Mateo were up to.

They expect the Cubs to outscore last years team, even without The Pulse? I call shenanigans. The Cubs win no more than 75 games this year, and the Cardinals youth and energy will hand them the division. Houston will be the wildcard. Phil Rogers and Richard Justice have shown me the light.

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.

Those faggots don't know SHIT about baseball, Bonk, because they've never lathered it up with AXE, helped each other tape up their ankles after applying soothing lotion, pushed against each other to stretch their thighs and hammy's, and stormed the field ready to TAKE IT ALL THE WAY! they've never jumped up and down on the mound, rolled around together in the grass, sprayed each other with hot sticky champagne and kegged it up all night to celebrate the third straight southeast county third district regional semifinal championship. THEY DON'T KNOW FUCK ABOUT BASEBALL, THOSE FUCKING FAGGOTS! Zorp can't replace the the smell of dirt caked on your hands as you make little clouds from smacking each others asses in celebration. Zorp can't replace what makes the game HUMAN.

"Something you probably didn't know might explain why Beltre's defense is so good. He never wears a protective cup. "

The All Stars..
Catcher: AJ Pierzynski: All you statfaggots wanna hate on him " his OBP is only .312, and for his career its only .326", well guess what faggots? NOBODY FUCKING CARES YOU DICK LOVING QUEERS! Pierzynski hit .281 last year with 13 home runs and 60 RBIS, plus 66 runs. Plus he's a fucking GAMER who always gets in the other teams heads! You wouldn't understand that cuz it can't be measured with your faggot ZORP and QUIP and BAAAS or whatever, but other teams HATE To play against AJ! SO RAM YOUR THE WARMTH OF YOUR MOUTH OVER MY PHALLUS, FAGGOTS!

1B: Nick Swisher: the statfaggots will say that his .219/.332/.410 last year sucked according to HOMOMETRICS, but look at 24 homers, 69 rbis, and 86 runs, for a respectable total of 179 total runs. NAME ME ONE STATISTIC THAT CONTRIBUTES TO SCORING MORE THAN RUNS, YOU FAGGOTS! Just one!

2B: Robinson Cano: "But his OPS was only .715 last year!" What. the. fuck. ever. FAGGOTS! you're talkin to a guy with a .271 avg. 14 homers, and 72 RBIS, plus 70 runs, for a 156 total runs! Bet you're all wishin you knew baseball the way I do! I know baseball so hard you'll have to concede the superiority of my virile manhood! God damn I need a FUCKING SHOWER! OWNING THE STATFAGGOTS ROCKS MY FUCKING WORLD!

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!

SS: Ryan Theriot: GOD! I'm so fucking tired of you homometricians tryin to tell me Ryan Theriot is replaceable! He his .307 and he is the FUCKING SPARK PLUG! You faggots don't realize what a player like Theriot brings to the game because you've never played grab ass in the showers and run out onto the field ready to STRIVE FOR VICTORY TOGETHER! If Ryan Theriot had played legion ball with me and the boys you can beat he'd earn more ass smacks than anyone! HUSTLE! GRIT! I AM SALIVATING WITH THE THOUGHT OF A "W" EARNED THROUGH SWEATY, GRITTY TEAMWORK!

LF: Carl Crawford: What? You thinkin "a .319 OBP sucks for a top of the order guy!" or ".718 OPS for a corner outfielder??" Here's my retort: GO FUCK A DUDE YOU IGNORANT CUM SWILLING HOMO! How's a .273 avg. and 25 stolen bases hit ya? Bet they don't mean shit to you because you couldn't out run my legion ball DH, OGRE! Well guess what! THAT GUY FUCKING RULES! YOU CAN NOT DOMINATE A KEG STAND THE WAY OGRE DOES!!!!! He got a fucking scholarship to play for free at the community college, WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU FAGGOTS DONE! I can't fucking WAIT till ogre and I run a train on some bitch, high fivin all the way. Nothin like TEAMWORK!

CF: Juan Fucking Pierre: " Wah wah .326 OBP! Wha wha .655 OPS!" Fuck the fuck off, faggots. He stole 40 bags this year, thats 40 fuckin singles he turned into doubles through hustle, how's your ZORP Gonna calculate THAT? Faggots.

RF: Corey Hart: 20 homers + 91 RBIS+23 SB+76 Runs= 210 ways to FUCK YOU STATHEAD FAGGOTS UP! Say one word about his .759 OPS and I will come over to your house and videotape my guns as I force you to take my manhood in your ass, you queer ass zorp loving faggot!

FUCK! All this statfag DOMINATION has absolutely wrecked my shit, time to go LIFT. Let me know when one of you faggots wants to STEP INTO THE BOX! I WILL STRIKE YOU OUT ON THREE FUCKING PITCHES, FAGGOTS!

Sutcliffe had a beard though. And facial hair+wins+packs of marlboros smoked is THE BEST WAY TO MEASURE A PITCHER, YOU ZORPING FAGGOTS! NAME ME ONE FUCKING STATISTIC BETTER!

I'd like everybody to post their favorite Hank White memory. Mine of course is this: http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CHN/CHN200808080.shtml

you know what, Zed, you statfaggot, the dunston fans actually made a real, cardboard sign and took it to the game! they didn't sit on a statfaggot message board making statfaggy comments about dunston's zorp while they applied acne cream to their faggot faces. real fan support is in the stands, not on the net!

Fuckin A' RV! Those are numbers you can chest bump in the locker room shower to!

I think its time we all named some great players that the Stathead faggots just dont understand with their faggot ass zorp and homometrics. Players that help a team win games on the field rather than on baseball reference or statfags.com. Players like Juan Pierre, who hit .292 in 2006 and stole 58 bases. lets see the stathead faggots line up and beat the throw from the catcher like that! who's on your Fuck the Stathead Faggots All Star Team?
