He did.  He's been rambling about WAR in numerous threads.  I knew he found a new toy.   If the other guy doesn't talk about Guzman and Dickey, no one will.   I can't even excuse a Jim Rome reference. 

I've been a consistent reader Fangraphs for about 4 years now.

I just haven't been a consistent poster in the forums for 4 years, or even 4 weeks for that matter.  When discussing baseball I bring up WAR alot, get used to it.

I apologize for bringing up these new fangled, nerdy, hard to understand statistics.  Maybe I should stick to RBI from now on?

I can't get past somebody calling giving up 1 run getting torched. Seriously, giving up only 1 run in a major league game seems like it is pretty good to me. Do you really know the definition of torched? Do you?


BABIP numbers do not lie....maybe before you go spouting off about a pitcher getting torched, you should factor in other things like weather and VORP+

if you pitched a game against KC and gave up 1 run in 6 innings would you consider yourself torched? I didn't think so........

My newest toy is swinging strike rate.  WAR is old hat, although pretty great still

GIVE ME BACK MY LAND!

Hehe.  Sarcasm-meter is broken still.

I'd like to point out that the Tampa Bay Ray-cists are at it again.

White boy yells at the black boy and he's a hero.    Brown boy yells at the black boy in Chicago and he gets suspended.

Looks like I'm calling everybody "boy".

  Only 494 posts, miket ?

Jesus, you're still alive?

Are you still fat and retarded?

John Candy started to get skinnier, but then he died.

So it seems Boston is up to their old RACIST!!!! tricks. I thought the NE was full of enlightened liberals.

Boston is full of ******* Red Sox and Patriot fans.
