    Felger and Mazz - Creating False Naratives one day at a time

    Has Tony Mazz also noticed that in year two Mark Teixeira is already not playing all that special? He is currently ranked 11th among qualified first basemen in OPS. He is a 3.4 WAR player this year, only worth $13.7 million, according to Fangraphs. I guarantee you if the Red Sox had, in fact...

    Felger and Mazz - Creating False Naratives one day at a time

    I liked how last week Felger shot down the notion that baseball is all about pitching by citing the stats of many teams over the last few years that did squat, even though they had good pitching. It was refreshing to hear some actual show prep as opposed to a guy like Ordway who just resorts to...

    Protecting the Shields -- The Nick Cafardo Thread

    QUOTE (Smiling Joe Hesketh @ Nov 2 2009, 03:05 PM) This guy's getting over six figures to turn out this crap. No wonder the Globe is hemorrhaging money and subscriptions. I am not doubting you, but where did you hear/read that Cafardo is getting over six figures?

    Kirk and Callahan: Done

    QUOTE (BS_SoxFan @ Oct 22 2009, 05:33 PM) Yeah Callahan and the other two seemed blown away and more or less commended Epstein for opening their eyes to a new way to look at the game. When the interview was over I flipped to T&R and when they went to commercial came back to D&C to hear Callahan...

    Kirk and Callahan: Done

    QUOTE (John Marzano Olympic Hero @ Oct 22 2009, 03:26 PM) I heard a bit of the Epstein interview and it sounded to be like Gerry Callahan was sincere in his abandoning of RBI as a useful stat. Was that just BS? To paraphrase, "You guys don't look at RBI?" Epstein said, not really and went on...

    Kirk and Callahan: Done

    QUOTE (Harry Hooper @ Oct 22 2009, 03:06 PM) They actually discussed VORP this morning, which was a milestone for that show, though they didn't know rankings factored in a player's position. It was embarrassing hearing them being condescending about stats they had literally no clue about. If...

    Kirk and Callahan: Done

    The only thing more annoying than Gerry Callahan pretending to know politics is hearing him pretend to know sports. Listening to him comment on J.D. Drew this morning leads me to believe that he he still is stuck in the 1970s and thinks RBI are the key stat to evaluate a player. He also said...

    Protecting the Shields -- The Nick Cafardo Thread

    QUOTE (Swingandadrive @ Sep 28 2009, 07:35 PM) They should really not have Cafardo on Sports Hub. He was just on with Felger and Mazz and he came off as a bigger moron than I thought possible. What did Cafardo say?

    Kirk and Callahan: Done

    I think possibly the worst thing about this show is the guy who does those unfunny impersonations when they come back from commercial break. Who is this guy, and who finds these bits amusing?

    Kirk and Callahan: Done

    I have not listened to this show in ages, mostly because I have satellite radio. Today I tuned in for some unknown reason and I heard Gerry Callahan say, "Would Theo have the stones to trade Youkilis for Adrian Gonzalez?" Huh? I think it is pretty clear that this offense needs another bat in...

    Joe Buck Show/Artie Lange/Mike Francesa/and now...Chris Russo

    Uh oh.... We've just learned Artie Lange was busted for suspicion of DUI moments ago in New Jersey. Law enforcement sources tell us the "Howard Stern Show" veteran was arrested about a half hour ago in Toms River after he got into a minor car accident. Story developing... From TMZ

    The Ultimate Fighting Championship (MMA) Thread

    I am a huge Hughes fan, but I think GSP has to be favored here. Silva vs. Chuck is tough to say. I just hope for a good fight and a brutal knockout.

    The Ultimate Fighting Championship (MMA) Thread

    As you probably know, Dan Henderson will fight against Rampage in the near future. Shogun has signed with the UFC. And Dana White apparently is going hard after every fighter known to man. The UFC has really turned its organization around.
