Hmm - I've ended up with a pile of moss and twigs on the hood of my truck. Currently debating whether I should use a broom or a hose to get it off. - Beryllium May 19, 12:08 5

      - [deleted] 3
        
        and there is no way I'd go near Hyde in the Top 5. Too many RB's on that team. -- nm - Strongbad May 19, 12:31
        
        It seemed like last year the RB's went way earlier than I thought. -- nm - Strongbad May 19, 12:27 1
        
        Yeah he offered that. - Strongbad May 19, 12:29

having seen the new Guardians of the Galaxy trailer . . . it looks fun, but I question if it'll be a blockbuster . . . and how does this . . . - i'm not dead yet ! May 19, 11:36 6
- it will best Amazing Spider-Man 2. -- nm - Mop on Samsung Galaxy S3 May 19, 12:08
- Like I said in B2 I like this a lot actually as it really fits the tone and helps keep all the marvel stuff from feeling the same *cough*sony*cough* -- nm - Capstern May 19, 11:46
- spoliers ? - Capstern May 19, 11:44
- it's rumored that the Guardians will be meeting the Avengers in Avengers 3.... - Remlik May 19, 11:40 2
  - Avengers 3? That's a long ways off. -- nm - Mop on Samsung Galaxy S3 May 19, 12:06 1
    - yep. Avengers 2 is Age of Ultron. so no Guardians there... - Remlik May 19, 12:17
Blues resign Elliott to 3 year deal. Bye bye, Miller. -- nm - spamlet May 19, 11:33 8
- Bye Bye Ryan Miller...hello Jake Allen. nm - Jim May 19, 11:38 6
  - [deleted] 1
    - See? I threw up in my mouth a little right there. :) -- nm - Jim May 19, 11:43
  - Do you think they inked Elliott as a backup though? Seems like a long term deal for him to back up. - spamlet May 19, 11:39 3
    - I don't know...I do know that having to root for someone named "Jake Allen" makes me a little queezy, though! - Jim May 19, 11:41 2
      - [deleted] 1
        
        Well, he's a goalie so that's kind of assumed. -- nm - spamlet May 19, 11:52

(crash on Trish's computer) spamlet, I'll argue that a Fielder's Choice is a different ending to an AB due to its descriptive nature - trish May 19, 11:26 22
- Listen, I won the damn contest. Stop trying to take this away from me -- nm - prayformojo May 19, 11:53 1
  - (coTc) spamlet agreed with me and said you still win! -- nm - trish May 19, 11:59
- a distinction without a difference really, from SABR's perspective - znufrii May 19, 11:33 10
  - (coTc) but your IM is negated by the very mention of a sacrifice bunt -- nm - trish May 19, 11:35 9
    - not really, because in a sacrifice bunt the batter is not hitting with the intention of getting on base. -- nm - znufrii May 19, 11:41 8
      - (coTc) then sac fly should definitely count as well -- nm - trish May 19, 11:48 7
        
        a sac fly is an accident of distance, not a function of the batter's intent. - znufrii May 19, 12:02 6
        
        (coTc) no, its not - the good contact hitters know dang well what they are doing when they choose to lift the ball in that situation -- nm - trish May 19, 12:07 5
        
        but the system needs to be able to score all hitters to equal standards, not just your "good contact hitter." -- nm - znufrii May 19, 12:24 4
        
        also you can argue that because the run does not score on the at bat, but on the live ball play after the at bat, it is irrelevant to the metric. -- nm - znufrii May 19, 12:33 1
        
        (coTc) under that distinction, nothing scores on an AB except a bases loaded walk, all come from live balls - trish May 19, 12:37
        
        (coTc) I'm going to drop this after this post, but that list of SABR's is stupid and I get anyone defending twisted around - trish May 19, 12:32 1
        
        ^"I can get anyone defending it" -- nm - trish May 19, 12:34
- I missed FC. I'd say that definitely counts and would make 16. - spamlet May 19, 11:31
- hey? let Trish know Meg & I meant to dial -- nm - JenBro May 19, 11:28 7
  - Sfek/threadjack - to dial her when we were all together but it just didn't happen :( - JenBro May 19, 11:31 6
    - (coTc) I'll let her know. I'm sure she appreciates that -- nm - trish May 19, 11:36
    - [deleted] 4
      - :) it's no wonder those two guys kept cruising you Saturday night - you are so animated and cute in your little shorts! -- nm - JenBro May 19, 11:38 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        I saw 4-5 guys with those same shorts in the airport last night. -- nm - Truman May 19, 12:13
        
        You wait - they'll be all the rage this Summer - you trendsetter!!! -- nm - JenBro May 19, 11:42
