I will say this.. no matter what happens I hope the management keeps our team together. Denver is insane today. It is such a great sports town and supports a good product to a ridiculous level. This is probably the only time in history after a Broncos humiliating loss the whole town is happy and excited. The energy is incredible.

I am rooting for the San Diego Dads (if only because I love Peavy), but I am happy for the Rockies. As with most teams, I like to see young players perform well, and that is certainly the case in Denver.

I'm kind of pissed how Dids is trying to bring this thread down just because he feels the need to be superior to all of us with his infinite sarcastic knowledge of all things sports

If Fogg gets us 5 good innings tonight we are going to win

You really needed to stomp on that statement? Really?

Well, first you said if he gets 5 good innings they can play with anyone, which is the typical absurd hedge that doesn't mean anything. Of course they can play with anyone.

Now you are saying if he gets 5 good innings you will win. While much more ballsy than your previous statement, its also pretty silly. Most games, after 5 innings, still have a lot of variability in outcome. If he gives you 5 good innings your chances go from 52% to some higher %, lower than 90, higher than 55.

You could just say "Man I hope he gives us 5 good innings, that would really help!" Or you can say whatever the heck you want, its your team, but then, Dids can say whatever he wants too.

EDIT: All numbers in my post were completely made up.

I said if we get 5 good out of Fogg we should win. That falls pretty well in line with your statement of "If he gives you 5 good innings your chances go from 52% to some higher %, lower than 90, higher than 55."

Should win != will win. Should win = somewhere between 60 and 90% I would say.

Not sure what you are disagreeing with.

You didn't even bother to reread your own post before you posted this? Like just to make sure you remembered what you wrote and that I was wrong?

I posted:

"If Fogg pitches five good innings we should win the game because we held off SD's only real advantage."

I don't disagree with your comment about my rushed post about playing with anyone.. was in work in a hurry. I clarified, though, that I meant we should win the game.

What are you referring to? If I ever said that we would win if Fogg gave us 5 I clearly misspoke, but I don't think I did.

edit: Maybe you missed my followup post or maybe I'm just losing my mind.

Lineups are posted. Buddy went with Blum and Bard instead of M. Giles and Barrett, even though the latter two are batting nearly .500 vs. Fogg.
