No I love football. I just hope the Patriots lose again this year. I hate them.

See now youre confusing American Football with Football. One is awesome and has maybe 300-400 million fans. The other is even more awesome and has like 2 billion fans. But then again you like NL ball.....Hitler would enjoy NL ball (case in point GWB tried to get the AL to lose the DH when he owned the Rangers => the Republicans want NL ball => so would the nazis).

Im so very very pissed.

Theyre fine in close and late situations. Otherwise theyre a waste. If you go to (http://www.baseballprospectus.com/) theres a matrix on there somewhere that shows that a man on first with no outs is worth about three times as many runs as a man on second with one out. That and Hitler killed Eva Braun with a sac bunt.

For those interested my anti-Nazi/Republican/NL stuff tonight is because Im drinking and listening to socialist anthems. Remember people - we'll keep the red flag flying high.

How do you feel about steals? Do you just hate small ball.

Steals are Ok if the baserunner has a SB/CS of 75% or greater (like Tacoby Bellsbury) otherwise its a waste. Stats and sabermetrics are the way forward.

If by stats geek you mean "rational human being who is properly educated, doesnt live in a trailer park and knows not to vote for anyone who thinks universal health care is a bad thing" then yeah Im a stats geek.

AL>NL.
Patriots rule.
Steals are good when they are by Jacoby.
I've prob been to over 50 Devil Rays home games, they have no fans, haven't been to a game this year, but it doesn't seem that that has changed.

Just because youve signed for the Triceratops doesnt mean you should forget Red Sox ettiquette. Its TACOBY - not this "J" word. I never got my Taco Bell when he stole that base in last years WS (we dont have Taco Bell this side of the Atlantic) so address him properly.

Tacoby Bellsbury. (Even though hes really shit right now)

I have no sympathy. You must live like 10 minutes from a Taco Bell. I live fucking 5000 miles and a $2500 return air fare from my free taco.

Sorry I was going to bust your balls but then I got distracted.

However in baseball we do agree. Small ball is one of my favorite internet fights.
