hey man thanks for the contribution! [/ QUOTE ] Yeah, I'm just a bitter Detroit fan reminding everyone that OPS and run differential don't always tell the whole story. This is especially true when an 82-win team featuring Jeff Weaver and Anthony Reyes in its starting rotation wins the World Series.

Re: post here when announcers (or the media) say or do something stupi
Last night in the Phillies/Braves broadcast, the Phillies anouncer known endearingly as "Sarge" (Gary Matthews Sr)asserted that he does not get drunk when he drinks a bottle of wine during a full moon. Among his other beverages of choice are cognac or "a little cider."
Kalas then asked Sarge whether he knew if the moon had a similar effect on most people. In typical Sarge matter-of-fact fashion, he answered, "I don't know. You asked how it affects me."

It would be stupid to say that about Henson today, but it was not at all stupid to say it back then. DUCY?

Re: post here when announcers (or the media) say or do something stupi
Let's talk about stupid things again:
This weekend in college one one of the national games broadcast on the EC, the color guy said: 'If you have the lead late in the 4th Q, you can sometimes win by running the clock out.' Somebody get that guy a MacArthur Genius Grant! Of course, nothing tops the immortal "One of the ways to win in football is to outscore the other team." I don't think you can top that one.
