Hello friends, as the election is upon us, let me remind you, my fellow Americans, about how fucking horrible Derek Jeter is.

HELLO I AM A LINK, NOT LIKE A ZELDA ONE THO. PLEASE CLICK.

Also for robo Jeter sex stories, we have the SOSH kids

She made eye contact but was too shy to go over. No need to worry, the captain made the first move. He walked over to her and dropped the following pickup line- "WHAT ARE YOUR HOPES? WHAT ARE YOUR DREAMS?"

I suppose this is what happens when you don't have to try anymore...

Holy shit.

In this day and age, there are still many people on this planet. Most of them think Derek Jeter is totally awesome and not COMPLETELY AVERAGE THIS YEAR (OPS+ =99). I think a lot of those people are responsible for America's got talent, American Idol, Americans making jackasses out of themselves, and America molests the 5th grader that is smarter than them.

I believe it's the magical time in this to mention THIS THIS THIS THIS or BURN DOWN YOUR WHOLE FUCKING CITY NOW LEVEL STUPID or just try any of the other 880,000 results.

Or simply put:
SI via USSMarinier

"'I agree that he looks terrific on the plays that he does make, and he has great fundamental techniques, but he simply doesn't cover as much ground as other players with more lateral movement, and that hurts the Yankees, though obviously his offense more than makes up for his defensive shortcomings, and he's still a Hall of Fame player. But, defensively, he's great at the things that don't matter that much and not so good at the one thing that matters a lot. And if you're interested, I've got some really cool data to back all these claims up.'

"And then they'd call me an idiot and walk away."

So I got this last night:

[22:10] DR. X: i relayed your thoughts on the drays to a yankees fan and he called u an idiot

[22:10] DR. X: i told him how you called this before season

[22:11] DR. X: and he said they will explode soon enough

[22:14] DR. X: i said "ok", since he is my boss


YEAH, THAT ABOUT SUMS IT UP.

P.S. LOL

The Yankee slugger revealed Friday he slips on a gold lamé thong with a flame-line waistband when he's trying to get out of a hitting slump - and he's shared it with his teammates.

...

Derek Jeter agreed that Giambi's thong works, although "it's so uncomfortable running around the bases."

After looking at the results this season for Day/Night splits, lets see which ones are just dumb luck by looking at last year.




Of these magical teams, it seems only the Orioles consistently suck ass during the day. The Giants' also appear to hate the day, but they may just be missing breakfast at Denny's or something GET OFF MY LAWN.

Oddly enough, masturbating hero of drunkards, Aubrey Huff appears to love the shit out of days:

Aubrey Huff
2008 Day: .883 OPS
2008 Night: .826 OPS
2007 Day: .809 OPS
2007 Night: .768 OPS
Career Day: .826 OPS
Career Night: .812 OPS

So I guess the rest of the Orioles need to drink and whack off more.

On the other side, the Red Sox, and the Royals appear to love the day. Since the Cubs play about half their games as day games, maybe they should get more drunkard chicken chokers, or Royals. Whatever.

In related news, Mark Prior was trapped in the phantom zone and beaten up by General Zod.

Since I am a degenerate gambler, I have begun to wonder about day/night splits. In this episode of Big Show Baseball, let’s see who needs to get some amphetamines.

Well that or porn.



The Orioles, Indians, Rangers, and Phillies seem to be some sort of weird vampire. The Blue Jays seem to be some weirdo morning people freaks.

In other news, Mark Prior was mauled by a emu.

Anyways, this was a month ago:

Former New York Mets G.M. and current ESPN on-air talent Steve Phillips has a new theory: Thanks to the Mitchell report, drug testing, and overall increased scrutiny, the steroids era is over and teams that play small-ball can thrive.

On the Mike and Mike Show yesterday, Phillips said "at the current pace we're on this season, Major League Baseball would be down over a thousand home runs in 2008 compared to the 2006 season."

Lets take a look at the home runs now:
2006-5386
2007-4957
2008-2134 (4735proj)
DIFF 06/08 (651) DIFF 07/08 (222)

Not quite a thousand anymore eh? MAN I SURE HOPE TEMPERATURE DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING It's warming and catching up to last year, when everyone was injecting horse steroids into their eyeballs.

Since using steroids only means you hit home runs, and never some other wacky power stat like, I dunno, lets check DOUBLES?

At bats per Double/Home Run
2006-18.32/31.07
2007-18.24/33.85
2008-18.73/35.10

Oh you wacky steroids, what won't you do? Like take plate appearances and figure out what a seemingly small change of .005 would do to an entire season!

OBP
2006-.336
2007-.336
2008-.331
(2006PA+2007PA/2 *.336) - (2008PA*.331)
DIFF= 1129 Hits&Walks over the entire season


In other news Mark Prior was eaten by a raccoon.

I was looking at the Los Angeles Angels of Satan's Less runs scored and more runs allowed than the A's. So I figured I'd take a look at who else is currently using voodoo to play close in 1 run games or many of the other 5,000 reasons the 2007 White Sox turned back into a pumpkin. (Division leaders in bold)


As you can clearly see, God's wrath against the Atlanta Braves is still intact. It's raining down foul balls into Chipper Jones' orbital bones. However, the Angels prove clearly that there is no God. The Angels are 13-8 in one run games, which should trail back to ~.500 eventually. The Mariners are 7-14 in one run games this year, after those moosefuckers got lucky to the tune of a +9 Pythagorean last year. One can only hope the hilariously same fate for the Angels. =)

Hardball times says:

Last year, from September 1 onward, the Baltimore Orioles posted a team ERA of 6.89, which is the single worst September/October ERA baseball in the last half century. It's almost certainly the worst since the 1930s.

And they didn't just sneak over the border with this one—the second worst score was 6.55. Among all months in which a team played at least 20 games, it's the seventh-highest ERA. (Worst of them all? April 1994, by the Minnesota Twins, with an ERA of 7.34). Most months topping Baltimore are mid-summer ones, so factor in the game's annual temperature curve, and it's even worse for them.

During the course of the spring, many a publication and blog post their annual division winners list. They are always wrong, and boring. Lets try to look at it from another way. Who's going to be fucking horrible?

Pecota Says:
010101010101
NL East- Nationals (Crazy people in the OF)
NL Central- Pirates (CURSE YOUR SUDDEN BUT INEVITABLE BETRAYAL)
NL West- Giants (Old people jokes)
AL East- O's (OH GOD THIS IS NOT 4TH PLACE, HOW CAN THIS BE?)
AL Central- Royals (OZZIE BALL IS COMIN' FOR YOU)
AL West- Mariners (Win % = 1/ 1 + SQ((792/813) = .513 NOT .543)
1101001000 BEEP BOOP

The history of Pecota is shrouded in mystery. Pecota grew up as a TI-81 calculator and was beat up by scrappy Asians who typed 58008 and flipped the number upside down. This is why it hates Ichiro, Pokemon, and intangibles. I agree mostly with this racist evil computer, minus the Mariners. I believe the Rangers are bad enough dudes to save the President from Ninjas, or finish in last. The NL Central should be an exciting 4 way brawl of suck to watch tho!

THE OVERLORD

BALTIMORE -- Leo Mazzone was fired as pitching coach of the Baltimore Orioles on Friday, less than a month after completing his second season with a struggling staff.

GREAT IDEA!

Mazzone was proud of the work he did with starters Erik Bedard, Adam Loewen and Jeremy Guthrie, who have developed into solid major league pitchers. But he never could get through to Daniel Cabrera and some of the other pitchers on the youthful staff.

So he helped out all the young talent, and couldn't help Rick Vaughn not hit fans in alphabetical order by last name. GOOD LUCK O's Kiddies!
