ya know. fuck. i'm leaving for vacation in a day, and i've got a lot of liquor here that i was saving for vacation. but fuck it. i'm drinking my ass stupid tonight.
i probably shouldn't take it this hard....but fuck man. when Lee hit that homer in the top of the 9th everyone here was going nuts, and we lit off our one and only candycane(1 and a half sticks of dynamite in the air) to the shagrin(sp? i'm dumb and pissed) of my neighbor.
then shingo and marte choke. GOOOOOODDD DAAAAAAMNIT. worst loss ever.
while i do think the entire white sox team choked(shut out by rusch? give me a fucking break), i gotta hand it to the cubs. they never let down, and picked up mr. long ball himself LaTroy Hawkins. great game nonetheless...but this was a devastating loss for me, personally.
hope my vacation cheers me up, because i'm fucking low right now.
god. fucking. damnit. south side hit men = south side choke artists. at least we're still in first....now time to BANG MY FUCKING HEAD AGAINST THE WALL FUCK YOU SHINGO AND MARTE i'm going to cry

LeBron loves his girlfriend. There is no other woman in the world hed rather have. The problem is, Dwyanes not a woman.
Fuck the asstros...I dont know if I can take anymore of their bs playing this year.
No way should they be giving up 18 runs and only scoring 3....this team is fucked up in the head.

Ensberg hitting 3 HR's is nice,but something is just totally off with this team and we all know what it is,Mcdouche just wont do anything about it.
Nice to see Doggy hit another HR today *throwsup*

Ok, I could probably find the answer to this dumb question on google, but I'm bored.
When a pitcher gets an 'infinite' ERA or WHIP for a game (that is, say a reliever comes on, give up a homer or walk, then gets pulled without registering an out) how do they apply that to his season stats? Do they just add the earned run or walk or whatever to his season total and ignore the way he technically didn't pitch at all according to IP? That makes sense, but it's weird when you're looking game by game and trying to figure out how, say in a roto league, you'd add an infinite ERA to a teams totals.
Bear with me, I only recently figured out if a RP can give up enough runs in a blowout lead to eventually get credit for a save that wouldn't have existed if he didn't give up a few runs.

Aramis Ramirez should have been taken as a third third baseman (his and Lowell's stats are pretty damn close) so everyone should go vote for him as the final player on the roster. McKeon fucked up by picking Barry Larkin as a third shortstop considering none in the NL has had a real "all-star" season (Jack Wilson has been the best though.)
The poll sucks for White Sox fans' though because Thomas and Konerko will probably split the vote even though they're both more deserving than the others.

YEAR G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB SO SB CS BA OBP SLG OPS
2004 78 304 46 98 17 0 21 55 17 37 1 1 .322 .357 .586 .942
2004 79 307 60 100 22 1 15 56 24 40 0 2 .326 .374 .550 .924
Beltre has more home runs and a slightly higher OPS, but Ramirez makes up for that by edging him in runs, doubles, RBIs, walks, BA and OBP. And anyways, neither Beltre or Overbay are one of the five players that can be voted in.

I've met Barry Larkin. Knick knack paddy whack give a dog a bone.
That's exactly right. Yes, it looks strange if you're looking at single game statistics, but ERA is really only meaningful when applied over a period of several games. It IS an "average," after all.calder said:
Now, if the Padres can find a way to beat Clemens tonight and retake first place in the NL West, I'll be a happy man...
