Stat of the day

[Pat]

Though... no one likes a BJ that's a Sabertooth.

Good shit.

[Clay]

Good shit.

That's why I never understood the whole Martyr thing for terrorists. They always use the 'you will be rewarded with 72 virgins for all eternity'. That's sounds nice in theory, but can you imagine an eternity of "Easy! Watch the teeth!"

And 72 chicks you can't get rid of.

[Jistic]

Why do you think they make their women cover themselves up. Those guys are the biggest pussies I've ever seen. They must have small tools.

[Pat]

When something doesn't make sense...blame religion.

[Carlos]

This is not the direction I expected this thread to go.

I'd like to see a middle infielder win a Gold Glove over 35.

The over 35s are in the easier positions or the positions where a specialist will last forever.

Catchers that play defense usually last a long time in online leagues. Most people like a defensive backup catcher with experience.

Corner outfielders? Come on. If a guy is 35 or older and playing in a corner outfield position, chances are, it's becaue he can play D. No one is putting an unathletic old guy out there unless their offense is so spectacular it outweights the negatives of their poor defense.

There was a bug in OOTP 2006 where it created a lot of players named "Joe Unknown". I think we probably changed the last name but not the first.

[Jistic]

The real bug is there's too many Pat's in that list.

That's an All-Star list. Certainly an impressive statistic.

[BradZ]

Jose Guzman's effort in '88 earned him all of 1 3rd place vote in the DL Stout Slugger race.

[Clay]

Woodbury was 9 walks shy of doing it again this season.

[Carlos]

Jose Guzman's effort in '88 earned him all of 1 3rd place vote in the DL Stout Slugger race.

I wish there was a utility that let you plug in numbers and see which guys match the criteria.

I'm interested in knowing how many guys have had Guzman's season:

100 BB
100 R
100 RBI
40 2B
10 SB
.300 AVG
.400 OBP

By the way, the answer is none.

But, you can grab stats from Campoveroe's '84 campaign and suggest it's better. I think it is.

[Clay]

I think if you're talking best seasons ever for a Hitter in the BLB... you have to have Kellum (78) and Keppel (82 & 83) in the conversation.

[Lintyfresh85]

And.... Shannon's. He was literally percentage points away from the first ever Triple Crown season in BLB history.
