Re: ~~~ OFFICIAL YANKEES 2007 WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS OR BUST THREAD ~~
honestly tho... if he just hit a fly ball to the outfield instead of the infield earlier it would have been just as effective.... last year the guy was one of the worst in the league at this, not sure about this year, but i can imagine not much has changed

[ QUOTE ] yeah i agree it's really annoying when people try to make educated predictions based on advanced statistics instead of guessing and talking out their ass. i apply this line of thinking to poker as well which is why i'm a millionaire. [/ QUOTE ] it doesnt make you any smarter if you look at the pythagorean record and assume they are unlucky. pythag's aren't "advanced", there's a lot of noise in it. KBZ is also on with his point, teams with bad bullpens routinely have better pythag records than they may deserve, and it is probably more pronounced this early in the season. [/ QUOTE ] my post didn't really have much to do with pythag. that dude has posted the same tripe over and over again whenever someone has used any sabr-esque stat to try to evaluate a team or talent and i wanted to mock it.

But then again most of those were "when the game was out of reach already," right?

You guys talk like nothing like this has ever happened before. Why can't we just sit back and enjoy the season and be allowed to hope for some magic. That's why I watch sports. Maybe you guys just watch to have your projections proven right.

[/ QUOTE ] I get the impression that the Yankees fans are saying stuff like this to reverse jinx themselves, whilst the Red Sox fans are saying stuff like becuase it's the first time they've legitimately been superior in like a bazillion years. I'm not sure there is anybody deep deep down inside who actually thinks the Yankees are "done." Including andyfox.
