The only two things I can think of that are happy my vacation is over, are my feet and my wallet

Posted by Jovian (aka Jovian) Oct 25 '11, 09:14

yikes, my feet took a serious beating all week.

they even took a worse beating then my wallet.

So let's see. All of ST is apparantly playing Batman, Gadhafi is dead, Netflix is falling apart, Pujols had the best WS game in history, and a bunch of exotic animals were slaughtered.

anything else I miss?

    - WPA? - znufrii Oct 25, 09:27 6
      - Well, the statheads who made up that measurement are. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 25, 09:27 5

        Actually, you'll see I've not made any argument at all. And surely, if I do, it won't be in a WPA manner -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 25, 09:30 3

        That WPA is a shitty metric to use...yep, got it. I'm consistent. - Will Hunting Oct 25, 09:32 1

    - I don't even know what the hell WPA is. But 5-6, 4 Runs, 3 HRs and 6 RBI. There's never been a game like it. -- nm - Jim Oct 25, 09:26 19

        Um...yeah, I am. 3 men have had 3 homers in a World Series game. 2 men have had 5 hits in a WS game. 3 men have had 6 RBI in a WS game. - Jim Oct 25, 09:36 5

        You'll never ever see me using sabermetrics in a baseball argument. Never have, never will. -- nm - Jim Oct 25, 09:41 1

        I agree with Jim 75%. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 25, 09:37 1
        
        I'll take it. :) -- nm - Jim Oct 25, 09:38
        
        ah, but you're not accounting for the statistical effect of BBQ, which is a new stat I just made up. - znufrii Oct 25, 09:34 2

        silly JackDawson... - znufrii Oct 25, 09:37
      - It's only one RBI more than Reggie who went 3-3 with 3 HRs, 4 runs and 5 RBI's. - Krusty Oct 25, 09:29 8
        
        So I guess we don't count the 2 singles that started earlier inning rallies then? -- nm - Jim Oct 25, 09:30 7
        
        It was an amazing performance but I see it as equal to what had already been done. - Krusty Oct 25, 09:33 6
        
        I can give you Larsen. -- nm - Jim Oct 25, 09:38 4

        I guess so. Had Jovian said best offensive game in World Series history, then he would have been more right. -- nm - Jim Oct 25, 09:43 2
        
        Still not right. - Krusty Oct 25, 09:48 1

    - I think Morris throwing 10 shutout innings in a game 7 was the second best pitching performance of the WS. - Krusty Oct 25, 09:26
  - not sure if this is sarcasm or not..... - ghouly Oct 25, 09:22 1
    - Offensively, it's probably the best ever --- surely you might argue Reggie or Ruth's were more timely...but pure #'s wise...it's at the top - Will Hunting Oct 25, 09:24
- I know, right? Damn newbs. -- nm - Don Larsen Oct 25, 09:20
