Re: *WORLD SERIES GAME ONE THREAD: Rockies at Red Sox*
Changing the secondary object of meditation from the five skhandas to a more orthodox mahasatipatthana, but the primary samadhi object, anatta to all dhammas basically, remains the same. So it shouldn't cause any problems for Shill tonight. If anything, it should help him locate his fastball.
Of course, despite the victory, there are still deep seeded sankaras which took root over decades of trauma, hardcore dukkha that keeps I would think all Sox fans from taking anything for granted.

[ QUOTE ] http://www.hardballtimes.com/thtstats/ma...p;Submit=Submit [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] Ummmm....This is the analysis that also ranks Hideki Matsui as #4??!! Please......these stats are not close to the be-all/end-all regarding a fielders ability. "There are three kinds of lies. Lies, damned lies and statistics"......Mark Twain or Benjamin Disraeli [/ QUOTE ] Nah, if you use out of zone plays one would probably rank Matsui like 8th. I would much rather go by rankings that objectively has Manny ranked last, than go by a retard who thinks Manny is good on D.

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] no.. he's the worst. Nothing wrong with saying that. [/ QUOTE ] In that case, if the Rockies can get good wood on it (which seems debatable at present), Games 3-5 can get ugly indeed. One thing the Rockies do well at home is run bases aggressively, and make outfielders work. If you are a subpar OFer, it gets truly ugly fast. [/ QUOTE ] manny is the worst LF'er, I dont see how this is debatable. Of course I still love him, and he comes through with big assists (cause OFers always run on him) and nice grabs (that otherwise competent fielders would have gotten with ease). To me, these are other examples of why I love Manny. His smiles/9 has got to be up there with Jose Reyes. In regards to the "big leftfield", do you really think this is significant enough to claim that it really reduces the edge the Sox have? Removing a hot bat from the lineup due to the NL rules seems like a very important factor, but to me having a big leftfield probably doesn't mean as much, and is just something the talking heads like McCarver and Dusty Baker like to overanalyze. I'm really pumped for tonight's game, go Red Sox [/ QUOTE ] I'm not enough of a saberhound to actually be able to define how much this lessens any Sox advantage versus having him sit for a better outfielder. Obviously, he's such a great hitter that I figure there less than 0% chance that sitting him is the right move. All I'm really saying is that Manny being in LF alone is probably worth 2-3 runs a game to the Rockies offense, if we actually hit to our normal ability in Coors, because the balls he barely gets to in other parks, he won't get to, here, and because of the deeper alleys, his throws won't quite get there quick enough. Whether that changes any game outcomes, I leave that to people with the numbercrunching to say.
