It's funny how pessimistic this thread is on nights the Sox lose, and optimistic on nights they win. Don't any of you guys play poker? Aren't any of you versed in handling variance?

I hate the "aren't you poker players" angle in the sports forum.

I'm manipulating things? I'm not calling the Yankees "champs" for beating the Pirates and D-Backs at home.

Reread my quote.

"Only in baseball can a team look like chumps one month and then champs the next and vice versa."

I didn't call them champs. Saying a team can "look like" and "are" are too very different things. However, they won again this afternoon. The [censored] don't look like they're ever going to lose. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

(7:24:39 PM) Mike: awesooome
(7:24:44 PM) Mike: is DP 2nd
(7:24:45 PM) Mike: if so
(7:24:46 PM) Mike: zomg
(7:25:01 PM) Mike: drew/dp/ortiz/manny/youks/lowell/tek is like my dream order
(7:25:05 PM) Gehrig 38: that would be pretty hot to have guys that get on base in front of manny and papi

[NT!]

my dream order is probably

drew
youk
tiz
manny
lowell
pedroia
tek
crisp
lugo

[kyleb]

yeah youkilis should be batting ahead of manny/ortiz since his primary asset is his ridiculous walk rates and pitches seen per AB. pedroia should be batting early in the order as well because he sees an absurd amount of pitches per AB as well coupled with a good walk rate.

i like:

drew
youkilis
pedroia
ortiz
manny
lowell
crisp
varitek
lugo

[kyleb]

jesus christ that lineup is ridiculous

So far this year Youkilis hasn't had the ridiculous walk rates.
