Re: They Hope For The Best And The Best Is Always Coming

'On pace' sucks.
It always has, always will.
Two words destroy almost every 'on pace'. Two words.
What are those two words?
Shit happens.


Hosmer is on pace to hit 3 HRs. Pedroia & S Castro 9 each. I sure hope that shit happens pretty soon.

I would like to see HR allowed by pitchers in the pitchers' expanded stats.

It would not improve the game, only change one strategy and replace it with another. Let's keep it as it is.
I concur.

Re: First Place!

Congrats on your retirement Dan, and thanks for your many years of service. About League 7, we the insignificant 13 are caked with dust left by the two leaders. If this is your post-retirement, new-normal performance level; then the rest of us are in a lot of trouble. Kudos to Jeff and Ken as well.

Re: The New Top 30

Both lists and projections are an attempt to communicate expected future performance. I think your criticism (and rightly so) is aimed at the certainty to which some folks regard their projections. I consider my projections to be a best guess (or an over/under type number). I might assign Cabrera a ...

Re: The New Top 30

Good read, Dan. On what do you base your lists? I know you've railed on projections in the past, but you're making some sort of assessment based on something. True?

Player Stat Report Upgrade Request

On the Player Stats Report (Player Stats selection under the Stats menu option), please add sorting capability based on the current fantasy team field. As it currently stands, this is the only field by which you can't sort the players. This should be an easy fix. Thanks.

Re: Hammel

Speaking of Reynolds and Pujols (who happen to be my 1B/3B combo in the Main), I had a dream the other night that Reynolds and Pujols were pitted against Juan Pierre and Dee Gordon in a cage match, each equipped with a power stick, with my own life dependent upon the outcome. At 3:11 AM, I woke up s...

All this talk about third basemen and not a word about Mark Reynolds. Oh, he's batting .136 with no homers. Nuff said.

I already have my plane ticket, Bob, but I'll be watching the weather for any oncoming blizzards that could change my travel plans. Save me a spot in the backseat just in case.
