Safeco, I guess

but it shouldn’t really make much of a difference.

I thought Philly

was easier to play, but I guess you are right doesn’t matter that much. Voted!

Philly is smaller, but there's no evidence that this makes it easier

and Safeco has been shown to be an “easy” place to play the outfield in the past. Regardless, thanks.

I have almost every blooper GIF made saved on my comp.

I often watch them more than anything else (give or take Vidro fouling the ball of his own face).

I really want someone to make a Youtube video of all the clips.

I want to show all my friends that think that Ibanez was a “gamer” and average at defense.

Could you please repost the Vidro gif?

I have no idea why that one isn’t sidebarred.

-20 is reasonable, right?

There are no good individual basketball statistics.
54!

by joof on Jan 28, 2009 9:43 PM PST reply actions  

I went with -20.

I know it was an overshoot, but I was taken with the symmetry of Endy being +20 and Raul being minus the same amount.

-10

c’mon, he’s bad, very bad, but he does work hard at it and last year was an outlier. By ’11 he might be down to -15/-20 but next year -10 I think is about right.

I'm with you.

The 60% of you who think -15 to -25 are basing that opinion too heavily off of one really really bad season. -10 to -15 tops.

Fans are typically idiots.

Hmmm.

The antithesis to what I said about Endy Chavez. Raul’s one of the worst fielders in the league.

This signature space for rent.

-25

He’s awful out there, can’t take a good route, is slow and getting older by the minute.

by Smegmalicious on Jan 29, 2009 11:07 AM PST reply actions  

Seems fairly obsessive-compulsive to me

I mean, we’re all TECHNICALLY aging by the minute, it’s just that very few of us are motivated to keep track. Imagine the expense his family goes through in birthday cards alone.
