Quick and dirty:
OPS+ for Anderson from 1995-2000:
121
82
92
99
104
103
He was probably a league-average hitter over that span (and his career). Pujols’ worst year in the majors is better than Anderson’s very best. I don’t mean to say that Anderson has had a bad career, but I find it hard to believe that anyone would ever think he was in the same galaxy as Albert Pujols.

I understand that fanship has got to start somewhere, but in addition, a little piece of me is bitter that they sucked so much ass while I was there, and jealous that they have a great owner and a manager that knows what he’s doing.

Dude, your avatar is from my favorite sketch comedy show of them all.
LONG LIVE MR. SHOW.

Oh yes. Mr. Show is probably my favorite non-Wire show of all time.
I recently finished reading Naomi Odenkirk’s book on the show. Great read if you can find it.

Haven't gotten it yet. But my girlfriend and I have pretty much memorized every single episode.
We will actually serenade one another with “Ronnie’s Theme (How High The Mountain)” during the working day.

That show had the best music.
David Cross’ voice is legitimately good, and Bob’s voice is so bad that it’s hilarious. (i.e. the Milking Machine)

I was hoping for a bit more from the Phillies/Brewers.
And Cubs/Dodgers extending wouldn’t have been so bad, but a sweep on the AL side is exactly what the doctor ordered.
by Omerta on Oct 3, 2008 10:25 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
except for the rays
they can sweep 14-0.

I have Francisco Rodriguez's newly updated wiki ready to go .
C’mon last out.
by Robert on Oct 3, 2008 10:24 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
What would the update say?
“On October 4th, 2008, God finally requested that Rodriguez cease thanking him in such ostentatious fashion by denying him the opportunity to do so on the grandest stage of all.”

Nothing funny because I want to be the one that says what sticks
On October 3, 2008, Rodriguez received the loss in Game 2 of the 2008 ALDS when he allowed a tie breaking 2 run homerun to Boston’s JD Drew in a 7-5 Boston win over the Angels.

That's kind of trifling stuff, you think?
Or are you just updating for the sheer pleasure of it?

Reminds me of the way DC (my hometown) is full of either Redskins or Cowboys fans
Skins for the obvious reason, Cowboys merely because some people just get so fucking sick of the town’s Redskins obsession that they choose to root for their blood rival.

Is it just me or has MLB.com now made it impossible to open games in WMP?
It just automatically opens video in Silverlight now and that doesn’t show as being installed on my computer.
by Jeff on Oct 4, 2008 12:51 AM PDT reply actions 0 recs
I've been using Silverlight for a while now and it hasn't worked too poorly
It’s really not that bad and I couldn’t figure out how to go back

Mine wants to open in Silverlight
but reverts back to WMP by the time the stream opens.
