His error in game 2 has put him out of favor with a lot of people

derosa's error was more costly

people are just playing favorites… its asinine. DLee has been the least of our problems this series

its not just the error

he only had 90 RBIs batting 3rd for the NL team that scored the most runs

by JPetey on Oct 4, 2008 9:58 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

he's 5-9 in the series

complaining about a guy who is nearly the only one hitting in the entire series seems like misguided frustration

absolutely...he's batting over .550

What's so bad about these announcers?

I’m serious. I heard a REALLY bad announcer (Ed Farmer?) on the radio for the Sox the other day…slurred speech, no emotion or expressivity at all. These guys on TV sound OK to me.

What I don't understand

Is Why TBS hired the Brewers announcer and then assigned him to their games…He sounded like a total homer today. They hired the Red Sox announcer and placed him in the White Sox Series.

And was easily the most talented cubs team of my lifetime. They are having some serious mental problems against the dodgers, who (btw) we wouldn’t be playing if we had beaten the Brewers.

This isn’t a “new owner” “front office” problem. Hendry has been great. This is pure mental stuff. It’s the hardest thing to fix and they just need a breakthrough moment to get through it.

A best of 7 series is more statistically significant than a best of 5 series....

and that can be proven mathematically. But the MLB is not interested in significance.

Not by that much.

If you’re really interested in figuring out which team is the best, you don’t need a playoff at all – you have the regular season results already. The whole allure of the playoffs is how short the series are.

A short series isn't significantly more luck-based than a long one.
