Hockey is a great sport, and the fighting is just a sidenote. I’m assuming you aren’t a hockey fan? That would be like saying people just go to baseball games because there may be a brawl. Come on.

Colin,
Why do SFs hurt your OBP but Sac bunts aren’t counted? Neither is a PA. How long has it been that way?
"I've never complained about it. I'm thankful to have a jersey." Mark DeRosa, 22 Aug 2007
Because a player who hits a sac fly are trying to hit the ball.
A player who hits a sac bunt is normally intending to give up an out.
Just funny...
A Ranger fan of my told me that Sori didn’t draw his first walk one year until the end of April. Since he had a SF, his OBP was lower than his BA. Not something you see every day…

May he taste the fires of eternal damnation forever.
When he tires of that, we’ll think of some other torment.

I'll bet preacherman only saves people.
But maybe he knows a good voodoo priestess, or a witch doctor.

Sean Marshall deserves a better fate.
Let’s score two for him this inning and get him a W.

I think that Ward donated all of his lost weight to Lou...

I worry about
Lou. That’s not healthy at all.
Good luck Shawn Johnson, Lolo Jones and Doug Schwab. Bring home the gold!!!
I was surprised when I saw him at the game I went to just how heavy Lou was

He had lost a lot at the beginning of the season
he does love to eat… his first question is always “where are the good restaurants?”…. I think the stress gets to him. What I worry about is the yo-yo effect.
and just happened
to catch a few pictures of Geo? ;-)
Good luck Shawn Johnson, Lolo Jones and Doug Schwab. Bring home the gold!!!
Sanchez out, Hendrickson in for the Marlins
The only stats I care about are the ones on the back of a baseball card
I think that Hendrickson is only on to face Dome.
DeRo has torched him in the past.

This schlub Henderson actually played in the NBA for a few years.

I think he's trying to counteract the reputation he's gotten for taking a lot
Trying to adjust to the adjustments pitchers are making
he is overmatched

i ran the numbers overnight
on closer ERAs in closer situation vs. the 2008 cubs.
as a point of clarification, hawkins mini-me save on ‘flood night’ didn’t count (not a closer)
nor did riske’s save on opening day (same reason).
feel free to guess what the era by closers in closer situations is v. the 2008 cubs below
cubs have come back in 16 games after the 7th is what Pat said tonight...........
so it would have to be fairly high. maybe 4.16?

They're doing the wave at Dolphin Stadium
….not a close game or anything, fans
The only stats I care about are the ones on the back of a baseball card
The wave doesn't belong at a baseball game.
It’s what ignorant fans do.

Should we start a separate Howry hate thread?
Take it easy, people.

Why not the Shark in this situation?
The only stats I care about are the ones on the back of a baseball card
He usually only pitches Shark for 2 innings....
Kerry unavailable, Marmol closing…
He needs to get through the 6th. Pitcher up next inning…
