Have we heard any news about his minor injury?

by DaytonDogg on Jun 9, 2008 10:35 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Not I.

One more bad outing and he will have been injured since April.

Ha ha. Ouch.

Listen, guys, we just need to reel off one of those 35-10 streaks and we are RIGHT BACK IN THIS THING.

by gte619n on Jun 9, 2008 10:37 PM EDT   0 recs

Actually, a decent sized winning “zone” would put us right back in it. I don’t want to call it a streak, because I’m hoping it’s just us returning to the level we’re capable of but we are still very much in this.

coolstandings.com has us at about 14% chance of getting to the playoffs. Oddly, 6.2% comes from wild card chances.

by DaytonDogg on Jun 9, 2008 10:41 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

How much do the numbers fluctuate on a daily basis?

by gahnki on Jun 9, 2008 10:43 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

well, yesterday it was 16.6%

by DaytonDogg on Jun 9, 2008 10:43 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

what the hell is coolstandings.com?

by supermarioelia on Jun 9, 2008 10:43 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

it uses current record and pyth stuff to come up with a model to come up with somewhat advanced chances of each team making the playoffs and/or winning the division.

by DaytonDogg on Jun 9, 2008 10:46 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I was pretty sure that I found it through LGT last year, but maybe it was from a different site.

by DaytonDogg on Jun 9, 2008 10:46 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Ok..I just checked out the site.

There’s no way the White Sox have an 85% chance of winning the division.

by gahnki on Jun 9, 2008 10:44 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

why not?

by SuddenSam on Jun 9, 2008 10:47 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

i like to look at this one but it has gotten much uglier for us in the last week.

by Brick. on Jun 9, 2008 10:47 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah it looks like they weren’t updating it properly through the season, so it was improperly inflating our chances.

I’m probably headed to the San Diego game on Sunday.

I hate the fact that I am hoping we can pull off a series here.

did you know that there have only been 13 unassisted tripple plays in regular season history and that asdrubal cabrera converted one this year?

by Brick. on Jun 9, 2008 10:45 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Barf doing his Asdrubal-at-the-plate impersonation.

Mmm…I’m gonna give myself a few more seconds to figure out where this came from.

I’m missing something there too mario.

Still an Ohio boy through and through!

by TribeLoverInNewYork on Jun 9, 2008 10:55 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

good catch = clamor move grady.

usual clamor = move peralta from SS

new clamor = mario to USA

by Brick. on Jun 9, 2008 10:56 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

So if I become an American citizen, do I get across the border quicker? I think I’ll hold out for that perk before I give in.

by supermarioelia on Jun 9, 2008 10:57 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

We are move happy in this thread. I was just goin’ with the flow.

Did you hear the Tigers fan chanting “Lets go Clevelan” and then realizing what it sounded like?

by gahnki on Jun 9, 2008 10:57 PM EDT   0 recs

Let’s Go Brent sounds pretty lame, too.

Let's Go 2009!

by emd2k3 on Jun 9, 2008 10:58 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Not as lame as me yelling out “Clevelen Doesn’t Rock” yesterday at the game.

by supermarioelia on Jun 9, 2008 10:59 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Never mind. You can stay in Canada.

by gahnki on Jun 9, 2008 11:00 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Along these same lines, some douche behind me yelled out “you suck Jahonny” yesterday at the game, so I gave him an LGT tirade explaining the spelling and why it is he, and not Jhonny’s parents who are in the wrong.

by supermarioelia on Jun 9, 2008 11:01 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Thanks, Mhario. I’m glad you’re out there fighting the good fhight. Want to come to Denver for some games next week? It’s like Canada, only with different money!
