Corriendo beisbol estring numero seis (because 46 pages on No. 5 was enough ...)

    Deal. You’re both on.

    And when the Cubs win this series, each of you will have the Prince Fielder donuts picture in the side-saddle with some sentence about his man boobs. The bottom sig will be something about whichever Cub dominates you the most over the weekend. Some stats, a quote, both … I’ll come up with something. Maybe something about how the Cubs dominated the Baby Brewers like they were a Mark Grace slumpbuster.

    What facts have you brought up? That it seems like he gets garbage time production? That seems to be more of an opinion.

    Like I said, a player who raises his average more than 60 points in a month is not getting all garbage time stuff, and as a Royals fanboy looser, I must admit that even at 12-3, the lead was not safe.

    Absolutely, the Cards were mediocrity. I was just pointing out that just because a team is a collection of mediocrity, they can still win it all. On paper, the Cards should not have beaten the Mets or the Tigers. But, they did.

    I don't think Clemens was a Cashman deal. I think the order came from on high.

    They're going to make a movie about it. Morgan Freeman shows up in Texas at Clemens' house in Texas and says, I'm God. It'll be called Rocket Almighty.

    You're wrong. A ruptured tendon doesn't necessarily keep you from doing athletic activity. But thanks for contributing, Doc.

    I realize that you play it down the middle mostly.

    My stats I put up MUCH more supported what I had posted than the ridiculous batting average stats.

    Yet everyone fell into line with a "good job, BYH." Or maybe it was "good BYH job."

    Like I said. If not retarded, purely lemming-like.

    Again, show me how I was talking out my ass by saying that a lot of his production comes in garbage time when 67 percent of his homers and 55 percent of his RBI have come (SO FAR) exactly then?

    67 percent of his homers.
    55 percent of his RBI.

    In his hamstring... it sure the fuck does.

    It ain't ruptured.

    It's not Gordon's fault they're blowing out teams like the Angels on a consistent basis. Gordon is hitting .341 in June.

    Proof that statistics can be bent any way you want them. 67% of his homers? You mean four out of the six? Question his lack of homers so far if you like, but no way is that a fair sample size to use.

    And as for the RBI's, also a relatively small sample, that is as as much a function of Kansas City's erratic offense as anything. The Royals have been in a lot of blowouts....each way. And saying he gets 55% of his RBI in such situations without offering another player's numbers in a similar spot is useless.

    So what does that amount to? Four HRs and 10 RBIs or so? Now, if those numbers were doubled, you'd have a valid point (assuming the percentages were the same).

    Sorry to interrupt, but Frank Thomas has managed to hit his 500th home run and get ejected in the same game.
