This is what happens when you are bored at 2am and you can't sleep. I began to wonder one night "Who exactly ARE the best players of this past decade?" and I thought of ways to measure it. There's VORP but while VORP is great, you cannot help but wonder if there's other ways as well. You wanna make it even handed after all. So then I got to work ( Read more... )

It's Friday so I thought I'd to a more extensive look at the Division/Wild Card races. Give some offhanded insights on the upcoming games and all that good shit. I don't really have much else to say about it so let's go onto the meat and potatoes.

I thought I'd make this a sort of Bi-Weekly sort of entry about the September Races. Like I'll say I'll do it on Mondays and Fridays where I just sort of look at the Playoff Races, who's in and who's out, and all that jazz. I love this time of month in baseball. We get to see some of the best baseball that there is to offer. It's when the rosters ( Read more... )

Hey there boys and girls, what's the newest ish going on in your lives? Not really a whole lot new here. I had today off as well and just kicking back a bit until probably later this afternoon. THEN I'll finally go and clean out my car. And then head for the supermarket and pick up some bags of chips/other goodies for this weekend. My parents are ( Read more... )

Hey there boys and girls. Because I'm a giant effing nerd, I decided to go and look up MLB baseball teams and look through their radio networks to see how far their fanbase extends to. Most of them make sense, but some kind of stick out like a sore thumb and give a giant WTF. What I'm hoping to do in due time is try to make a map which, through ( Read more... )

Whenever someone gets all piss and vinegar about the shortstop situation with the Red Sox, they usually like to be all like "I wish Cabrera was still here" to which I will say "Dude...seriously, shush your face" which is not because I like Julio Lugo. Lugo and I are okay. I don't hate him, but I don't like him. The reason I'm all like that is ( Read more... )

Okay This is part 1 of a probably a 3 part nerdfest on draft picks. that I'm doing. I was looking up draft picks of all the 40 man rosters in MLB just to mostly find out if first round draft picks are really what it's all about. I was looking to see if being a first rounder really differed from like an 8th rounder. I found many many things along ( Read more... )

So the Red Sox won today by the score of 11-7. Good stuff. Beckett didn't look particularly great though, giving up 4 HRs and channeling 2006 Josh Beckett which isn't fun. However, the offense picked him up this time(they owe him like 2 or so) and scored 11 runs. 4 of them were on home runs by Pedroia, Youkilis, and two from Ortiz. Ortiz was ( Read more... )

So yeah what have I been doing all this evening you ask? Well, for one thing, I did get a phone call from someone in particular(more on that in some other time) and I did head out for about a half hour to go and do a little bit of banking. However what I've been doing is some hardcore nerding. Not just any nerding: baseball nerding ( Read more... )

Hey there boys and girls. I'm just enjoying some leftover Chinese food(General Tso's Chicken FTW!) and checking out the latest and the greatest out in the world today. I got out of work about an hour or so ago. I'm kind of just gonna take it easy tonight. Work tomorrow which isn't recockulously early but still, I don't wanna do much tonight anyway ( Read more... )
