Yo Fenix I know I've sent you like 30 PMs, but you may need to login ASAP to MLB 12 The show and accept your invite LIKE WITHIN THE NEXT 7 HOURS. I can't hold back eznark and Sanjuro at the same time, you know when they activate their KKK senses they gotta start hunting minorities, aka Canadians.

For you other guys in the league: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=37100710&postcount=522

You sure man? I accepted the League invite when you asked on the weekend.

You sure man? I accepted the League invite when you asked on the weekend.

I had to make a new league after I made a mistake in Playoff Series Length. After you accept read the hilarious drama that ensued afterwards!

Sorry about that, man. My bad.

 

[Fenix]

Alright, I'll accept as soon as I get home (3 hrs or so)

 

[Windu]

Damn, nice play by harriston

 

[Blearth]

The Hairstons will never stop haunting me.

 

[eznark]

Man I miss Hairston

 

[Windu]

Thanks for nothing Cubbies.

Well, it’s shaping up to be another mind-numbingly predictable season. Orioles atop the AL East…Rays throwing grapefruits…Reds offense punchless…Pujols disappointing yet again…all-too-familiar names atop the leaderboards…Omar Infante…Jake Westbrook…yawn. Wake me when something happens, will you? But do you know what we do, here at NotGraphs, when suspense is at a premium? We manufacture some, that’s what. I present to you today a leaderboard heretofore never seen: a collection of stats that go beyond mere on-field performance to assess the vitality of a team’s entire culture. Could this completely revolutionize baseball analysis? That’s not for me to say, but yeah, probably.

So I took all the comments from each open game thread on each team’s SB Nation Blog, and I put them in a big-ass text file and crunched it. Here I give you the NL East, with a few of the key metrics picked out. I hardly need to draw your attention to the insights to be gleaned from this table, the questions it raises and the truths it reveals. Why are Braves fans so wordy? Why are Fish fans so clean? Is there a dictionary shortage in Queens? Discuss, readers, and let’s talk about where to go from here.

ha, i knew met fans were dumb. This chart confirms it.

 

[eznark]

What the fuck at the lack of cursing? Are the Marlins fans saying fuck in Spanish?

 

[Windu]

ahaha wow, yotu.

edit: ahhh foot blocked his hand. nice play. bad slide.

 

[Blearth]

A lot of SB Nation blogs don't allow cursing.

 

[The Frankman]

Mets fans know how to say more with less words. Three I's.

INTENSITY
INTEGRITY
INTELLIGENCE

 

[eznark]

ahaha wow, yotu.

Defenders foot doesn't count as part of the bag. Year of the dumbass forum poster! ha, burn

 

[Sanjuro]

Holy shit Don Mattingly might be the worst in game manager in baseball.

Dodger fans are praying for Grady Little again.

EDIT: OOPS.

 

[CygnusXS]

I like how nobody has even feigned surprise at Fish Stripes' 67 commentators.

 

[eznark]

I'm shocked anyone goes to the SB Nation sites.

 

[Windu]

i admit, my experience with YOTU led me to assume the ump fucked up. I just assume every call is bad.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Nice source for team info.

 

[eznark]

i admit, my experience with YOTU led me to assume the ump fucked up. I just assume every call is bad.

Just like the ump last night assumed that every limp wristed, lolipopped, off-line throw results in the runner being safe. Now you know how he feels.

 

[Blearth]

Motherfucking Hairston again!

Poor Ishi

 

[CygnusXS]

What was up with that bunt?

Everybody should check out the gameday strikezone on this Aoki at bat. Hilarious.

 

[The Frankman]

Holy shit I forgot to write my piece on it!!!!

 

[eznark]

Fuck this shit. This bunting culture is fucked. Get rid of Ishikawa. If your first basement feels the only way he can possibly get on base is by bunting he should do everyone a favor and show a cyanide tablet up his ass.

 

[vas_a_morir]

OLD SCHOOL

Reds still got some major problems, though.

 

[cashman]

Thanks for nothing Cubbies.

I'd like to see the stats for Lonestar Ball

 

[zulux21]

runners on second and third... no one out... can the White Sox score some runs?
yes they can... keep it going.
just one though :/

 

[Macattk15]

Gotta love the Chone Figgins dinger face. Even he doesn't fucking understand.

I'm shocked anyone goes to the SB Nation sites.

Lookout Landing is the source of much much much Mariner enjoyment.

 

[zulux21]

bases loaded... 2 outs down by 2 runs in the bottom of the ninth... COME ON RIOS!
and he just stands there and looks at strike 3 to end the game :/

 

[Fenix]

Accepted, Frank. Get this ish going.

 

[Mrbob]

Cubs 3-10 at the moment, have the NL Central right where they want them.

Being hot in April is overrated. It's all about the August/September/October push!

 

[clemenx]

I'll be watching Darvish for the 1st time. He better stop sucking for this game.

 

[Seguin]

2011: Redsox go 2-10
2012: Redsox go 4-8

Progress I guess? Also Fenway Park's birthday is fucking stupid, tearing down that trash is the only way I could enjoy it.

 

[Sanjuro]

Promised pics of the Champion Dog. The woman's face behind me was priceless.

 

[Square Triangle]

Is that a plastic doll four rows back?

 

[weekend_warrior]

Nunez?

Nunez.

Nunez. :\

 

[Malo]

Wtf at that throw Nunez.

 

[Binx]

That face! That dog! Well done, sir.

 

[mYm|17|]

yayy longo

 

[Malo]

I see no ketchup on that hot dog Sanjuro, you sir are the worst.

 

[cashman]

I see no ketchup on that hot dog Sanjuro, you sir are the worst.

Even I wouldn't put ketchup on something slathered with cheese and jalapenos.

 

[CygnusXS]

I did not know it was even possible to give up 3 triples while only getting one out, but Edwin Jackson is a pioneer.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Great.

 

[Dominican Power]

LULZ

 

[Malo]

Even I wouldn't put ketchup on something slathered with cheese and jalapenos.

I would, but then again I put ketchup on a lot of foods.

Great start Nunez and Hughes. Hurry back Pettitte and Pineda!

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

Brian Wilson sighting! Was it worth it? Looks pretty good.

 

[Doogdogg]

Hughes days as a starter is about to end.

 

[Brinbe]

dat lindsanity

 

[cashman]

Darvish is getting squeezed a little bit

 

[Syphon Filter]

granderbeast

 

[Square Triangle]

Yep, this series is going to be a long one =/

 

[cashman]

How the fuck did Napoli do that.
