Poor Dane Cook, a few years ago he played football stadiums, now he's playing a 3,000 seat venue in DC - MDH Jul 9, 06:12 6
- in 2007, one of my friends paid $200 for tickets to see him. "you know it's dane cook, right"? -- nm - amanda Jul 9, 06:44
- He's getting what he deserves. 3K is too many people willing to pay to hear him. -- nm - Krusty Jul 9, 06:13 4

    - Ding. - Krusty Jul 9, 06:40

    - He played UMD twice when I was there, I remember people waiting for hours to see him. Some might show up, maybe? -- nm - MDH Jul 9, 06:35
Speaking of HBO Go, my gf and I just rewatched The Sopranos and that ending pissed me off even more this time around. (spoilers) - Krusty Jul 9, 06:07 3

WAR is a funny stat. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 9, 06:05 14
- [deleted]
- Change funny to useless and I agree. -- nm - Krusty Jul 9, 06:07 11
  - I have a problem measuring a player's value relative to his backup. - Strongbad Jul 9, 06:17 10
    - Yup. -- nm - Krusty Jul 9, 06:24
    - It's not *his* backup, just a generic replacement player. -- nm - Reagen Jul 9, 06:18 8
      - Not much better. -- nm - Krusty Jul 9, 06:24 7
        
        Also, it wouldn't measure what WAR attempts to measure. -- nm - Reagen Jul 9, 06:25
        
        You need a baseline - a peer group baseline would be constantly shifting. -- nm - Reagen Jul 9, 06:24 5
        
        But a minor leaguer or, backup or, whomever is a poor baseline. - Krusty Jul 9, 06:27 4
        
        If you really want to measure a player's worth, the best way to do it is propose trades. Example... - Jim Jul 9, 06:33 1
        
        that's great for Fantasy GM, but it doesn't neccesarily tell you about what they're doing for you *this* season. -- nm - Reagen Jul 9, 06:35
        
        The actual number isn't the important thing if you're comparing everyone to the same line - it's the relative comparison of all players. - Reagen Jul 9, 06:32 1
        
        I see what you're saying. Got it. - Krusty Jul 9, 06:38
