Moneyballin' and Blackballin'

 

I have had it with all of these new fangled baseball statistics. Pretty soon, the ESPN game is going to look like the above. Why is someone going to show me something dumb like VORP, SNWAR, DERA, and PECOTA projections? How do they even develop these stupid statistics? By perverting good statistics.

 

Do you want to know how good a player is? You need to know the following:

 

Hitter: OBP, BA, SLUG, PA, BB, K, SB, and CS

 

Honorable mention: OPS+

 

Pitcher: ERA, IP, K, BB, hits

 

Honorable mention: ERA+

 

Just give me these things and I can tell you whether the player is good or not. Also, have some road/turf splits for the above. But anything else is just going overboard and one reads more into something than there really is. Stupid statistics are made up to make people sound smart.

 

Another thing that I don't like is the blacks are black balled out of baseball. People keep saying, "I find the lack of African Americans in the game disturbing", but do you want to know why? Because baseball is so damn white. All they show on TV are stupid white people with their stupid banners (besides the Go Go Matsui stereotypical Japanese fan), stupid rich white people in their box seats, and stupid stereotypical white boys enjoying their "first game", which is of course in kick ass seats.

 

Why do these rich white people deserve anymore attention then they're already getting. The rich white wife is banging the pool guy, the rich white guy is banging the secretary, the rich white kid will get his parents to buy him a BMW on his 16th birthday where chicks will give him hummers. I have had it with glorifying these rich white people. How about us real fans in the bleachers who care more about being loud a**holes than whether or not there is gourmet food in our section?

 

I have had it with retro and amusement styled ball parks. You don't go to a baseball game for jumping down water slides, sushi, big screen television, malls, restaurants, jumbo-tron vision, and ect. You go to a ball game for BASEBALL. Anything else is for idiots who know nothing about the game and have no attention span.

 

And for the love of God men, grow a pair of balls and stop bringing your stupid women to the games.

 

"Who's that honey?"

 

"That's Alex Rodriguez baby, he's really..."

 

"Wait, he just swung and he's walking away!"

 

"Baby, that's a strike out."

 

For christ sake, don't go to ball games or ANY SPORTING EVENT if you have no f***ing idea what a base on balls is, a fourth down, or penalty shots. God damn it, why do people like going to sporting events for no reason? People just like feeling important. That's why a woman wants you to buy her roses- she can give a s*** less about roses if you were a rose farmer, she just wants you to blow your money and make her appear important that she has a whip wasting money on her. It's all about power.

 

Speaking about power, that reminds me of Barry Bonds. And speaking of Barry Bonds reminds me of rich white people. And speaking of rich white people reminds me how much they keep showing stupid rich white people at ball games. This one time, I was sitting in the middle what appeared to be a class trip from a city school. The dudes were making a ruckus and were pretty hilarious (making fun of Matsui), but on television, who did they show? No, not the 500 black people, the one white teacher with her white son next to her. If you watch a ball game, you would have no god damn idea blacks even exist. I make a game of it:

 

Count how many games goes by until they show a close up of someone who is black that isn't a former player/announcer. It took me about four months until this happened. Let's see how long the record goes this year. I watch about 162 games a year (listen to more) and I never see black people ever. It's god damn ridiculous, and they wonder why for some reason blacks don't identify themselves with a white sport...

hmmmm....Maddox?

hmmm no?

 

1. He hates sports

2. His own personal fan site said I didn't copy

why the hell does the his fan site make a ruling?

why the hell does the his fan site make a ruling?

because maddox actually contributes to it.

 

Furthermore, find ONE maddox article about racism and baseball at the same time. yeah, i thought so.

I don't even know who this Maddox guy is so I could care less. Where did you get the picture though?

I made it. All of the ugly pictures I have are made by me.

 

You have to understand, it is insulting that I write something and someone accuses me of plagirism. What I write is an expression of my thought, it is just not cool to make crazy accusations.
