I don't know jack-shit about soccer. Although I won a nice chunk of change betting blindly on Columbia to beat Japan in the world cup. Just figured that the Columbians had to be better at soccer than the Japanese.

If I were to bet on it it'd be the Giants and since that's my team (as well as the A's) there's just no way. But I've been following them since childhood and I can pretty much guess how things go with them. so fuzzy, in the aggregate, so long as Pagan is out, they're not even playing .400 baseball without him over a large sample size. 32-54 in 2013 4-12 this year. that aggregate is here and now. (p.s. this is also why WAR is a meaningless stat) |

i am from central texas. i will never, ever, root for anything from houston or dallas. it's why i'm a NY giants fan. it's why i'm rabid about LOS SPURS (GO SPURS) and it's why IDGAF about baseball
well other reason IDGAF about baseball is because it's FUCKING BORING and it's FOR OLD PEOPLE and it COASTS ON NOSTALGIA and it SUCKS and every fucking TWO YEARS there's a NEW PITCHER that everyone's talking about how GREAT he is and then he blows his arm out or fucks up or whatever and he's on the scrap heap like all the other Josh Beckett pitchers that have been fucking ruined over the past 15 years. Shit, like Lincenum? what the fuck happened to that stoner? Why can't any of these guys be good for more than two years??? what kind of idiot sport is this? i mean seriously these guys get hurt so fucking bad in a non contact sport. what is the fucking point of it |

Lincecum is just a freak, good or bad. That's part of the reason they got Tim Hudson, to mentor him a bit on how to pitch. Timmay went from 96-97 mph fastballs to 90-92 and is still trying to figure it out. Even though his ERA has skyrocketed the last two years, his K's to innings pitch stayed just about the same. He still has swing and miss stuff.
He's always healthy though, doesn't miss starts and he just followed up his no-hitter with 8 shutout innings against the Cards. Longest runless streak of his career, which is kind of a head scratcher, but that's him. |

Miguel Cabrera has an outside to decent chance. Ichiro as well. ARod? didn't know he was that close. Cabrera is the youngest with at least 2000. Statistic Description: Hits/Hits Allowed Rank Player (yrs, age) Hits Bats 1. Derek Jeter (20, 40) 3396 R 2. Alex Rodriguez (20, 38) 2939 R 3. Ichiro Suzuki (14, 40) 2788 L 4. Manny Ramirez (19, 42) 2574 R 5. Adrian Beltre (17, 35) 2515 R 6. Bobby Abreu (18, 40) 2463 L 7. Albert Pujols (14, 34) 2430 R 8. Miguel Tejada (16, 40) 2407 R 9. Paul Konerko (18, 38) 2323 R 10.

You gotta check out this kid Mike Trout on the LA Angels. The kids an absolute beast, 5-tool player. Best player in the game and he's only 22. I think he's going to have a long career.
You have a point about the starting pitchers though. Any of these new phenoms that throw in the upper 90's are all throwing their arms out. It's a big problem. But theres still a tremendous amount of good pitchers who haven't gone under the knife yet, guys like Clayton Kershaw, Zack Greinke, Yu Darvish etc. The injury thing doesn't apply to position players though. Sure they'll get injured and what not, but not at the serious extent that pitchers do. Baseballs a great game, it's a shame you don't like it. You should bet like 10 dollars a game, just to simply get you into the outcome and you'll probably find that you really enjoy watching it. Each at-bat is a total chess match and theres so many fundamentals going on with every play and pitch. It's a heckuva game. |
