August 19, 200718 yr From 1977-2006: Home team down 1 in the 9th with a man on first & no outs, win expectancy is 32.0% (1678 game sample size) Home team down 1 in the 9th with a man on second and 1 out, win expectancy is 28.1% (991 game sample size) Same situation except man on 2nd to lead off w/ no outs, win exp is 40.9% (357 games) Same situation except man on 3rd w/ 1 out, win exp is 37.7% (247 games) And this is exactly why bunting was not the automatic best move. It's such a minor thing that there's no reason to start a thread about it.

Inability to hit to right side factors in.
August 20, 200718 yr This is the key reason why I think Loria is blackmailing Miami for a new stadium. He doesn't want to see a good team in a bad stadium. That's why he railed against Girardi: for an excuse to fire him.

That's why he railed against Girardi: for an excuse to fire him. That's quite the conspiracy theory you have going there. Any thoughts on who killed Kennedy or what really brought the WTC down?

Im pretty sure Canada had a hand in both. In 1963, JFK was going to stop the export of flannel to the great white north, which would of crippled the Canadian economy at the time. In 2001, George Bush was THIS CLOSE to saying NO MORE MOLSENS in the USA after he got bitter beer face after drinking one. They create a diversion, we slap Ahab around for going on 6 years, the Molsens continues to flow. Not to mention that the american film Canadian Bacon exposed to the world that the entire power grid of Canada is controlled by an elderly couple just enjoying eachothers company. That got them as mad as a hockey puck lodged in the anus(3rd leading cause of death in Alberta FTW)
August 21, 200718 yr And your point is?The team is playing like crap.I mean,getting swept by the putrid Giants is about as low as you can get_at this pace they could end the season at 20 or more under .500. And of course everyone poo-poo'd me 3 or 4 weeks ago when I said we'd finish behind Washington. Anyone want to still believe we'll finish above them ? It's looking bleaker & bleaker for this franchise.
August 21, 200718 yr gonzalez is an absolutely terrible manager and the only reason he has and will continue to hold the post is because he's a willing puppet for the front office. You got it bro...this organization is in shambles right now because of ownership, management, lack of fans, and no money.
