played golf yesterday in midland, texas.
golf out there is different, man. i’m used to a pretty high game, but that is not so good in the west texas wind. par 3 136, i had to drop an 8 iron on the green. 8 iron from 136!!
number 16 though, maybe 17, par 3 from about 160 out, hit that same 8 iron to within 8 inches. worked it right to left and when it hit, it rolled about 6 inches to the left. i almost shit when it started rolling, because it was pin high. thought i was going to get my first hole in one.
I jinxed the Rangers on 13 April 2011

harder than a fucking rock
and it’s tough because i am used to playing in dallas where i can hit a flop shot, or take a divot, but out there i was bumping and running everything, trying to stay out of the wind, etc

I gained 20 yards on my tee shot from playing out there for 8 years.
You learn to bang the shit out of the ball, run it up, and get new irons every 2 years because of the chips from all the rocky ass soil.
The hardest part is trying to control your swing when you’re on a par 5 with the wind at your back. Everyone wants to be the guy who bombs it 400 yards, so you always over swing.
"I don't really like pitchers." - Nelson Cruz
i hit one about 310 yesterday with the wind and it probably rolled 40 yards.
it’s easy to let it rip, but it’s also easy to open it up and bang it out to the right.
luckily i was able to judge the wind on the 4 par 3’s and put it on the green each time and make 3 easy pars and a tap in birdie. i can’t play a low game on the par 3’s, i have to hit it high

Wrong gust of wind you're not expecting, or the wind dies down
and you’re hosed. I hated that.
"I don't really like pitchers." - Nelson Cruz
exactly.
we were in a huge breeze on the front and i had to hit my 8 iron a whopping 135. fucking nuts.
if the wind died down in the middle of my backswing or during the shot, that balls goes at least another 30-40 yards.

The big thing I debate with others (and myself) is who to be upset with more
Herbert Hoover for signing into law several horrible measures (Revenue Act of 1932/Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act for starters), all while ignoring the advice of his own treasury secretary
or
FDR campaigning on a platform that (correctly) called out Hoover for enacting policies that were too centralized with their planning, only to expand on them once he got into office.
It’s the same vibe I get when comparing GWB’s foreign policy with Obama.
"You're failing Seymour; what is it with you and failure?"
It's hard to draw too many parallels between Obama and Bush regarding foreign policy.
However, there has been and should more legitimate and strong criticism of their records on protecting citizens’ rights.

Well,
I think Max is probably critical of Obama’s handling of Bush’s wars, but that seems unfair to me. It seems fairly clear that Obama wanted to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan as quickly as possible, but logistical factors on the ground have prevented him from moving as quickly as he would like. Regarding the conflicts that Obama has decided to get us involved with, I think there’s a pretty clear difference between his preferred approach and that of Bush.
With regard to civil liberties, the issue is that Obama ran specifically against these policies. Specifically, he said he would close Guantanamo Bay as soon as he got into office. More generally, I am fairly certain he talked in his book with the inherent problems of granting War Powers in a War on Terror. At the very least, he talked about it.

I am only critical of Obama, in that
he ran on a VERY pro-peace platform that stressed immediacy with his plans to withdraw from Iraq/Afghanistan. If it wasn’t so pronounced, I would probably have given him more leeway on it.
Then again, if he tells his emotionally charged crowds in 2008 that troops will be out of Iraq by the end of 2011, along with increases in the # of drones policing the region, I doubt that earns him as much support amongst the anti-war crowd.

This seems like as good a place as any for this...
On NPR this weekend, they had a long piece about Thomas Jefferson and the Monticello Association. I was in and out of the car for parts of it, but I’ll try to include what I heard.
Thomas Jefferson was terrible at keeping his books and when he died [on July 4th], he left his descendants with tons of debt. The remaining family couldn’t pay off all of the debt, so they had to sell most of Jefferson’s possessions.
Wiki helps explain the Monticello assocation:
Founded in 1913, the Monticello Association is a non-profit organization of the lineal descendants of Thomas Jefferson, 3rd president of the United States. Jefferson was the designer, builder, owner and principal resident of Monticello in Charlottesville, Virginia. Historically the Association has included only descendants of his marriage to Martha Wayles Skelton. The Association owns and maintains the family burial ground at Monticello, where only members may be buried, and supports work to promote the reputation of the president.
In 1998, a DNA study was done and published in the prestigious journal Nature and it showed that Jefferson had fathered children through his black slave Sally Hemings. Combined with the historical evidence, it is now widely accepted that Jefferson fathered children with Sally Hennings.
The Thomas Jefferson Foundation, which operates Monticello, has incorporated the material into its training for guides, published new studies related to this conclusion, and expanded its research agenda.8 In 2003 Susan Stein, curator of Monticello, said, "more than 90 percent of professional historians who’ve looked at this are persuaded that Jefferson and Hemings had a sustained relationship
In 1999 after the DNA study was made public, Association member Lucian K. Truscott IV met some of his Hemings cousins on the Oprah show and invited them as guests to the Associations’ annual meeting.10 The president of the Association did not allow a vote on whether to include the descendants as honorary members, saying this status was reserved for persons at the University of Virginia and the Thomas Jefferson Foundation. A majority of the Association members voted to require additional studies before deciding on membership of Hemings descendants.1 Members such as Lucian K. Truscott IV and some others publicly disagreed with this decision.
Since then, the Monticello Association continues to prevent the descendants of Hemings from joining, despite the efforts of some of it’s members and the descendants themselves.
Four years later, 250 Americans descended from Thomas Jefferson through Martha Wayles Skelton Jefferson or Sally Hemings met again at Monticello. Organized by descendants of both sides of the family, the reunion was reported as “a small step towards healing”.15 The private Monticello Association denied the crowd’s access to the cemetery that weekend out of concern for the grass.

Very much like Hoover (who gets too much blame for The Depression), his desire to be restrained and not interfere pretty much escalated a growing problem. Again, he didn’t cause it, but he didn’t do shit to stop it.

Just about every one of the previous presidents helped start it.

All three took stances that fanned the flames of contention.

Hall of Presidents. Ensuing more than you asked for after this subject line.
The Rotunda (lobby) is a museum with a bunch of artifacts from presidents, some first lady dresses, and official portraits of a few presidents.
The show is 22 minutes long, so people come in and wander around the museum and say things out loud that are sometimes laughable, or ask me weird questions.
The portraits rotate, but right now we have Carter, FDR, Monroe, Lincoln, Jackson, Washington, Reagan, Wilson, and Jefferson. Carter is typically the first one people see. The Lincoln and Jackson ones are the originals. Monroe’s was painted by Samuel Morse.
We also have one of just three official United States Seals on public display.

New answer? West Side Story over Judgment at Nuremberg (and The Hustler). What. the. FUCK?

When dozens of reputable critics begin to throw out terms like "9/11 porn", I begin to worry.
"You're failing Seymour; what is it with you and failure?"
What bugs me the most about it
is that, apparently, there’s no reason for the story to involve 9/11. Tom Hanks’s character could’ve died in any tragedy (car accident, mugging, plane crash) and the story would be the same.
They just shoehorned 9/11 in there to crank up the waterworks from the audience. And that’s certainly manipulative but also borderline irresponsible, if you ask me.

I can understand why The Artist will win.
But I think The Descendants or Hugo should win over it.
I’ve said this before, but my biggest issue with The Artist is that it plays so strongly on the nostalgia factor. They basically recreated a silent film from the 20’s with better cinematography. Instead of doing something new and innovative with it, they just did it all over again. The story itself is incredibly simplistic.

Musicals and westerns had pretty much all died off as action films rose to prominence
Unforgiven was regarded as the “last Western” (or even John Wayne’s “The Shootist,” before that).
And musicals? Those died out in the late ‘70s….at least until Chicago came along, and now we’re subjected to a new one every year or so.

It's a bit complicated
In the original arc, the Kents are already elderly when they find Superman as a young child. They raise him, and then pass away shortly after his graduation — which prompts Clark to move away from Smallville and become Superman.
In “The Man Of Steel” arc in the 80’s, the entire series is rebooted. The Kents are much younger when they find Clark as an infant and therefore stay alive throughout his adult life. Jon Kents dies at the hands of….Brainiac…I think, but he’s much older and Superman is already well established.

I haven't heard it's an origin story
But I appreciated what they tried to do with Returns, where it was a continuation of the story from Superman II, ignoring III and IV.
I think they’re trying to create their own universe with this new one, but using Zod as the villain doesn’t exactly support their whole “We’re starting fresh” idea.

Yes.
Big part of the comics. But by using Zod, they’re not exactly distancing themselves from the earlier films — which is what they’re saying they want to do.
Superman has plenty of other great villains they could have used.

He didn't literally "die"
Superman and Doomsday lay into each other with everything they have. They strike each other with so much force that the shockwaves from their punches shatter windows. At the struggle’s culminating moment in front of the Daily Planet building, each fighter lands a massive blow upon his opponent. The two titans collapse and moments later, in the arms of a frantic Lois Lane, Superman succumbs to his wounds and seemingly dies.2 Jimmy, Ice, and Bloodwynd are also present at the end.
After his “death”, Superman is retrieved from the Krypton “heaven” by Jon Kent, who is having a heart attack and dies himself. When Superman returns, his essence is divided between four separate super-beings.
It was really complicated, but basically it was that Superman never died — his essence just transferred across dimensions after his physical self died.

No.
That storyline led to the four “Supermen” all claiming to be the real Superman. In reality, a 5th being was in existence in the Fortres Of Solitude, recovering for months from the battle with Doomsday.
That whole storyline was incredible and very complicated, as each one had their own story of why they were really superman.

Holy fuck.
I just took a really hard test. 42 multiple choice questions and a 1 page essay (on a 1 page article you have to read during the test) in 50 minutes. And the multiple choice weren’t those easy, straight from the book questions. They were the kind that require you to carefully read each choice and slowly eliminate to get the “most correct” answer. If it was just the multiple choice, the test would have been doable, but the essay made it way too much for 50 minutes. Not cool, professor.
At least the class average is going to be a 40.

And the course/material covered.
I took Human Physiology at Baylor with a notoriously hard professor. The summer course had the reputation for being very similar to medical school. Looking back, they’re absolutely right. The first day of class, he tells people to quite summer jobs and any illusions that they had of an easy summer course.
The textbook at 83 chapters; we covered them all in ~6 weeks. Each day had a reading assignment; the next day in class, the professor, who had basically memorized the book, would walk around discussing each chapter and calling on people at random to answer the questions.
The tests in the class? Multiple choice. Except that each question had 5 ‘actual’ answers and then 5 ‘combo choices’. He had special scantrons that had 10 choices per question.
The average grade on the tests were generally around a 50. The curve was set by the highest score getting rounded up to 100. Normally, that meant a 15-20 point curve. One time, somebody got a 92. >=|

One of my greatest academic accomplishments was getting a 100
on an accounting test and busting up the curve.
She put up the class scores on the overhead and there was just 5 A’s, one of them being my 100. Everyone groaned because she curved up to 100 if no one got it. I"m just glad there wasn’t names with the scores.
I smiled a little inside.

alabama has a pretty amazing public relations program - ranked #1 i believe.
the intro to public relations professor is told to specifically fail over a third of his class. and he tells you on the first day; walks in and says “look to the person to your left. now look to the person to your right. one of you three will fail this class. get out my textbook, and start taking notes”.
when i took the class, half the people failed. 200 person class.

It's less about how "easy" it is
and more about the amount of time allotted to take the test. There’s no question that the questions on the thermo test were harder, but I’d rather take a very hard test with plenty of time than a hard test with less than enough time.
"...Ron Washington is the Les Miles of MLB." - AJM
To each his own, I suppose.
MC gives you fairly decent odds of getting an answer correct without even knowing an answer. Open-ended does not.
A burden should never be something out of your control.
On a normal multiple choice test, I would agree
but with really hard multiple choice questions, even if you narrow the question down to 2 or 3 answers, your odds of getting it right aren’t that great. This happens a lot when there are multiple “correct” answers but you’re looking for the “most correct” answer. Plus, you’re working against the clock, so you don’t really have time to carefully narrow your choices.
"...Ron Washington is the Les Miles of MLB." - AJM
In that first scenario you mention
I find that knowing the professor and how he teaches and gives tests helps. Some are out to trick you. Others will give you the straight forward answer. When you have it narrowed down to two or three answers, you pick the one that fits the professor.
It’s profiling. It also works really well.
"I don't really like pitchers." - Nelson Cruz
Given more time on the test
I probably could have used profiling, but with the time constraints, it was more useful to read through the answers once and select based on first impressions.

So, the Death Of Superman
I’m going off of memory here.
The big issue with the four new Supermen was that the Cyborg turned into a major villain and attacked Metropolis. The Cyborg was actually a NASA astronaut. The Man Of Steel (which turned out to be the Eradicator, a former enemy of Krypton) joined forces with Superboy to help stop Cyborg. During that battle, a Battlesuit came up out of the water and they attacked it, thinking it was a bad guy.
The suit opened and a weakened (the real one) Superman is inside. At the same time, Cyborg launches a major attack on Metropolis and Man of Steel and Superboy need the help of Green Lantern to stop him.
Cyborg then attacks Superman (the real one) with a dangerous Kryptonite gas, and Man Of Steel steps in to save him. The gasses “pass through” Man Of Steel and have a healing effect on Superman, who regains all of his powers.

Sorry, I got two mixed up.
The Man Of Steel was the only one who claimed to not be Superman. He was just a guy.
I’m thinking of The Last Son, who had very similar powers to Superman but actually killed the bad guys. He was always a bit evil, but changed his ways.
In the end, none of the four “new Supermen” were the actual guy. He was in the Fortress Of Solitude the whole time, healing away. Some of them (the Last Son) used the Fortress to get access to some of Superman’s memories.

Nolan is going to get a bit of a boost beyond simply on-field value for me.
But he’s still not in my top five. Maybe lower.
I’m assuming it’ll be like last time, and he’ll make the list before I was ready to vote for him. And I’ll probably be voting for Palmeiro, Bell, and Harrah over and over.
SB Nation Dallas-Ft. Worth - Christopher Fittz is better than porn!
I could see a case for A-rod if we were defining the poll
in terms of “who was the greatest player ever to wear a Rangers uniform?”
But I didn’t read it that way. I think of “most beloved, most remembered.” And Pudge is still a lock for the Hall, so it’s not like there’s that much distance between him and A-rod.

A-Rod is easily the greatest player to ever put on a Rangers uniform.
He also has maybe the three greatest Rangers seasons ever. I’d put Hamilton’s ‘10 in there, but that’s pretty much the only competition.
He was also so great in those seasons he really is pretty high on the list. That’s also because there haven’t been too many great Rangers.
But, he’s probably in the back end of my top 10 or so. Not near the top.
SB Nation Dallas-Ft. Worth - Christopher Fittz is better than porn!
I would not say easily.
Nolan was a very fantastic player and length of career matters.
"I became an optimist when I discovered that I wasn't going to win any more games by being anything else." by Earl Weaver
As much as I enjoy A-rod
and as much as I’ve heard you harp on Nolan being one of the most underrated pitchers ever.
I agree that Nolan can be in the same league as A-Rod. Saying A-Rod is easily a greater player than Nolan is something I would have hesitations in saying.
"I don't really like pitchers." - Nelson Cruz
This is astounding to me.
I am astounded.
Of course, there’s always some doubt because we’ll never know absolute truths. But in the context of what we can know, A-Rod >>> Nolan is one of the easier baseball statements to make.
SB Nation Dallas-Ft. Worth - Christopher Fittz is better than porn!
Oh snap, I meant you harped that Nolan was one of the most OVERrated pitchers.
But point still stands. A-Rod > Nolan, sure I can see that.
But to say that A-Rod >>> Nolan is easily said? I don’t agree there. Sure it’s semantics and I’m the last person to argue for that.
But Nolan’s longevity helps is case tremendously. Fangraphs only has his WAR going back to ’74, but if you were to include his years before that, he would surely be right there with A-Rod in accum. WAR.
I also am taking in the fact that A-Rod used steroids, played in the era he did, and played for the Yanks (that probably shouldn’t hurt him, but it does to me). Also Nolan was almost exclusively pitched in the AL and was a pitcher who only was able to play once every 4th 5th day.
Arod played a position normally set known as a weak hitting spot and wasn’t always great defensively, especially now that he’s getting older.
"I don't really like pitchers." - Nelson Cruz
I'll go look at Fangraphs in a minute and see if he'd actually be right there with A-Rod, but I find that hard to believe.
Longevity is nice, but if you eliminate his poor seasons, he had about the same length of career as A-Rod if you do the same to the latter.
I don’t see how era or playing for the Yankees matters, nor do I understand why we’re just assuming players were clean because there’s never been an admission of guilt.
A-Rod’s ability to play solid-to-good defense at shortstop while providing that offense can’t simply be shrugged aside. That’s INSANELY valuable.
If you want to ding A-Rod for doing what was commonplace in baseball and not policed by the sport, that’s fine. I’m not going to, but it’s the one argument in there I find acceptable.
SB Nation Dallas-Ft. Worth - Christopher Fittz is better than porn!
FWAR comparison. (TL;DR, you win.)
I’m just going to be lazy and use bWAR to fill in Nolan’s missing seasons. In 1969 his ERA was a bit higher than his FIP, but the opposite was true in 1970, so I’ll just hope those cancel out enough for this to be fine.
Career: 112.5 to 110.5
So, you are right, they are close. Good call, and my bad. FIP likes Nolan a lot.
However, while this gives me a little bit of pause, I’m still going with A-Rod >> Nolan pretty easily. Because putting up chunks of great seasons is more valuable for your team than merely being good-to-very-good for a long time.
10+ seasons: A-Rod 1, Nolan 0
9+ seasons: A-Rod 6, Nolan 0
8+ seasons: A-Rod 7, Nolan 0
6+ seasons: A-Rod 10, Nolan 6
4+ seasons: A-Rod 15, Nolan 12

Heh.
The exact number of signs isn’t really important. If one sign represents an extra tier, it would probably be something like A-Rod >>>>>> Nolan. But then that would throw people for a loop because it would come off as too many to them and they wouldn’t know where I was coming from.
It’s been a long time since I was in a player ranking project at Baseball Fever.
Multiple is simply to be more than one and nothing more.
SB Nation Dallas-Ft. Worth - Christopher Fittz is better than porn!
Damn.
Well, I still disagree with A-Rod being that much better of a player than Nolan.
There is something to be said about a player who you know what to expect out of each year, for 25 years.
And while A-Rod’s peaks are astounding, I think that leveling them out over the time Nolan pitched makes them comparable and not a total one sided affair for A-Rod.
I also think that you can’t just eliminate 8 seasons of Nolans worst years to compare them with A-Rods. One, that takes away from part of my argument that longevity is valuable, and two, my guess is that A-Rod’s worst years are going to be much worse then Nolans.
"I don't really like pitchers." - Nelson Cruz
I give you credit for doing what I consider a reasonable job.
Even if I’m not being persuaded and am a little shocked you think this way.
SB Nation Dallas-Ft. Worth - Christopher Fittz is better than porn!
And I'm way out of my element in these arguments.
You and I both know that.
"I don't really like pitchers." - Nelson Cruz
There is something to be said.
It’s interesting and fascinating. People find consistency pleasing. In the case of Ryan, it can make a player who would have merely been very good with a normal aging curve and turn him in to great.
But, there’s even more to be said about being one of the absolute best — as in third at worst — player out there for more than a decade. The value provided to the team in that chunk is awesome.
SB Nation Dallas-Ft. Worth - Christopher Fittz is better than porn!
I don't disagree with that last part.
Which is why I think he is better than Nolan.
But you dismissive nature about this part
it can make a player who would have merely been very good with a normal aging curve and turn him in to great.
puzzles me. What he did wasn’t normal. It wasn’t even close to being normal. He was throwing no-hitters and K’ing the best in professional baseball for 25+ years. It wasn’t like he was out there pulling down negative WAR value in trying to reach milestones. He was a legitimate threat of a pitcher anytime he was on the mound.
There is value in that, as well.
"I don't really like pitchers." - Nelson Cruz
I must be misreading.
You make it seem like him being able to do that isn’t worth increasing his value or pushes him up a tier. I think it does.
"I don't really like pitchers." - Nelson Cruz
I think it's the reason he has as much value as he did.
If we can take WAR at face value, I don’t think it increases his value past a player who put up the same amount in a more condensed chunk of seasons.
SB Nation Dallas-Ft. Worth - Christopher Fittz is better than porn!
Now this argument I could get behind
Especially since, like with Nolan, if a player is that old and is putting up decent numbers, he will be much more expensive and high maintenance than, say, a younger kid putting up those numbers.
But if you want to go by value, a 42 year old Nolan start is far more marketable and cost effective for a ball club than a 25 year old’s start, all things being equal.
"I don't really like pitchers." - Nelson Cruz
I mean, when I say took him from good given a normal aging curve to great, I mean that.
Ryan is great in large part because of the way he aged. I suspect it was not entirely natural, but I don’t care, and assume that goes for a lot of players from the end of his career onward.
SB Nation Dallas-Ft. Worth - Christopher Fittz is better than porn!
Now, as far as the last paragraph. . .
. . . if you think you can’t compare the very bad seasons, then what value is having all those seasons?
We’ll see if A-Rod’s worst are much worse. I’ll bet he doesn’t have too many below-average years before he retires.
I’d bet my life.
Anyway, it’s not so much that I’m counting those seasons against Nolan as though he would look better had he just not had them. It’s more pointing out that while he did play a decent career longer than A-Rod has, he had a decent career of mediocre-to-bad seasons to do so.
SB Nation Dallas-Ft. Worth - Christopher Fittz is better than porn!
I don't think many of those seasons were mediocre-to-bad.
That’s my main point. A 3.4 WAR isn’t a terrible year for a pitcher. That was his 3rd worst season OUT OF 25 SEASONS.
You act like you’re taking away .2, .5, and -.3 WAR seasons from him. You’re not.
"I don't really like pitchers." - Nelson Cruz
I'm talking about those 15 seasons where he was less than 10 runs above two WAR at best.
(By B-R, I closed FG.)
Now, some of those seasons he was probably farther above average and something is missed. Some he was probably more like average. But 11 or 12 seasons is a decent career.
SB Nation Dallas-Ft. Worth - Christopher Fittz is better than porn!
I don't know enough about the two sites to know why bWAR and fWAR are so different.
The lowest fWAR I have for Nolan is .8 in ’93 when he appeared in 13 games, 2.4 in ’75, and 3.4 in ’86 and ’83
"I don't really like pitchers." - Nelson Cruz
fWAR is based on FIP.
bWAR is runs allowed adjusted for the team’s Total Zone.
That’s the basic gist. So it should probably be no surprise the former is higher on the strikeout king.
Like I said, fWAR makes me think I might be underrating Nolan Ryan. I still think he’s overrated and clearly behind A-Rod, just perhaps less so.
SB Nation Dallas-Ft. Worth - Christopher Fittz is better than porn!
Yes.
Absolutely. How can you say he isn’t?
I’m not saying Nolan > A-Rod. I’m saying that I would never say A-Rod is easily better. Never.
"I became an optimist when I discovered that I wasn't going to win any more games by being anything else." by Earl Weaver
I can say he isn't because because A-Rod was one of the two or three best players in baseball 11 years running.
For twelve years, his worst seasons were All-Star caliber, and those were rare. Most often, he had the best or close to the best season in his league year-in-year-out.
Nolan Ryan had a couple seasons that valuable on the mound. Mostly he was a very good pitcher for a long time who has gone down as greater than he actually was because of counting stat records and being some likeable tough guy.
This is one of the most shocking subthreads I’ve been a part of on LSB, mostly because of who’s in it.
SB Nation Dallas-Ft. Worth - Christopher Fittz is better than porn!
"a long time"
He was putting up some of the best seasons in this franchise history into his 40’s. I believe length of career absolutely matters. Peak is important… but someone who can be well above average for over 20 years is a very special player.
A-Rod also used performance enhancing drugs which provides an unknown factor into how much of his performance was truly his own.
A-Rod > Nolan Ryan… but not easily.
"I became an optimist when I discovered that I wasn't going to win any more games by being anything else." by Earl Weaver

Question.
Track and Field was on front of the curve in PED’s (I think). I’ve always assumed that baseball was at least a few years behind them. 1988 was known as the “Steroid Olympics,” so I guess my question is, did steroids become widely used in MLB during the 80s or was it a 90s thing?
If it was a 90s thing, then the odds Nolan used them would decrease significantly I would think.
I always think of 1987 as the dawn of the steroids era, but that's probably because of the Bash Bros.

SB Nation Dallas-Ft. Worth - Christopher Fittz is better than porn!
Omar didn't have ANY great seasons.
Nolan had a few. A few spectacular ones. Omar has good defense and that’s all he could hang his hat on. Nolan was a leader in H/9IP and K’s and shutouts…In 3 different decades.
You’re doing apples and oranges.
"I don't really like pitchers." - Nelson Cruz
By WAR, 1999 was pretty close to Nolan's best seasons.
SB Nation Dallas-Ft. Worth - Christopher Fittz is better than porn!
He had one peak season where he was playing on an Indians team
that was murdering the ball. Nolan had numerous seasons like that which where decades apart.
I do take back my statement about Omar not having ANY great seasons. He had a pretty good one in ’89 and after that meh.

"I don't really like pitchers." - Nelson Cruz

4+ seasons: A-Rod 13, Ryan 8
<2 Seasons: A-Rod 2, Ryan 8
SB Nation Dallas-Ft. Worth - Christopher Fittz is better than porn!
Consider this.
A-Rod is currently 18th all time amongst position players in bWAR.
Nolan Ryan is currently 16th all time amongst pitchers in bWAR.
This is why they can be mentioned in the same conversation and that A-Rod isn’t EASILY better. I suppose if you want to say that position players >>> pitchers then that’s your opinion.
But in my opinion, being one of the finest pitchers to ever player the game makes you a top tier baseball player.
Just like A-Rod. And A-Rod > Nolan. But he doesn’t >>> Nolan.
"I became an optimist when I discovered that I wasn't going to win any more games by being anything else." by Earl Weaver
There are more position players putting up regular roles.
So, yes, being 18th among position players is more valuable. WAR reflects that pretty well, actually.
I’d put him several tiers* behind A-Rod, and would be about as comfortable with that as one could be doing baseball list makings.
*Tiers being where cutoffs can be fairly clearly defined; where players next to eachother on a list are not exactly murky in which was better.

I think very few people
Who comment on baseball regularly don’t also comment in the OT threads.
There are some… but not many. I think there are more that do both than do one or the other.

There are a lot of infrequent posters in baseball threads
That don’t come into the OT. But they post so little that I don’t consider them regular posters.
There are TONS and TONS of regular readers who comment very little or not at all who only do the baseball thing and have probably never even noticed the OT threads.

I avoid offseason baseball talk
because it’s 50% speculation and 50% arguing with Josey.

Regular season there's plenty of Josey BS.
But there’s more conversation that isn’t people jumping the bait than there is this time of year.

Still seems like a ton of speculation still resides in those threads, come end of May.
What with trade talk, potential injury news, etc.
"You're failing Seymour; what is it with you and failure?"
Yeah but when the season is rolling we can still talk about tangibles
And even the trade spec has more substance to it (you usually know by late May, early June who is going to be a seller and who is going to be a buyer).

I agree for the most part, just stating that there's still plenty of the aforementioned to go around during the year.
Maybe not as dominant though.
"You're failing Seymour; what is it with you and failure?"
Of course
I’m just saying there’s usually not enough legitimate baseball news going on during the months of December, January, or early February to generate real discussion.
And coming off a painful end to an otherwise glorious season, I just don’t wanna dwell on it until there’s real baseball again to replace those memories.

Those memories can only be treated with Wash making his face while holding the trophy.

Got into a heavy, heavy debate today about No Child Left Behind.
I am of the opinion that NCLB has destroyed education in this country, or at least sped up it’s destruction. The other guy thought that NCLB was a great idea and only liberals say otherwise..

NCLB, while implemented by Bush, is very much a liberal approach to education
And one I highly, highly disagree with, in spite of my other political views.

It's a problem that, quite frankly, stumps me
I hate the idea of completely privatized education (teach the wealthy, fuck all the rest), but there’s almost no debate that the private schools are leagues ahead of the public schools, especially in urban areas.
And we talked a week ago about the perils of teaching/standardizing to the lowest level.

I think education
Is just one of those problems without the kind of comprehensive solution stakeholders demand. And debates about what we should be doing so our children is learning good just go around and around in circles.

NCLB is dumb.
You are correct.

The biggest issue I see is the morale obligation people feel, and the actual efficiency of educating children
vary so much that there is no way a solution can be worked out appeasing everyone.
The efficient and most effective way to educate is much like an open market where the rich will get some benefits the poor won’t, but hopefully that will work itself out after a few iterations. This conflicts with morale codes in that it is totally unfair to those without means and rewards people just for having money.
But I like to think that if education were privatized, this wouldn’t necessarily mean that the rich would always be better off.

Here's the thing.
The Stars weren’t sold until November. Turning a franchise around in the middle of the season is never going to happen.
Fans have to remember that it’s going to take at least one offseason for improvement to actually happen.
We’re all so focused on what’s happening right now, that everyone is just walking away pissed off and not thinking about how while they may be mediocre now — it’s always been about getting through the sale and then having the ability to actually improve.
I know it’s tough to ask the fans to have patience and faith, but we’re in a better situation than many.
I also think Stars fans are incredibly spoiled.

I think that Stars fans became so used to high levels of success early on
That it’s been very tough for the fans to deal with the struggles of the past few seasons, and they want no reasons as to why. Stars fans just want wins and they want results.
Everything is constantly compared to those 1998-2001 teams, which is the same thing that Cowboys fans do.
What is frustrating is seeing fans, especially this season, get pissed and bail on this team because in their eyes they aren’t “trying hard enough”. People told me the coaches should be fired. What the hell were their expectations for this season? Anything short of the playoffs is an incredible failure, when we should be incredibly grateful they even had a chance this season.

I won't really know until next year after I've had them for a while.
But technically the injections don’t cost a lot, but it’s the initial cost of them ordering the allergy extracts for the injections, which for me is a lot since I’m highly allergic to pretty much every single tree, weed, and grass pollen out there. That’s like 30 things.

Denton has the highest pollen count in the state, and if I'm not mistaken it's pretty high up there in the country too.
Moving back to Plano has helped a little but the pollen count is still pretty high.

Wikipedia says "tonic" is popular in New England.
Ever been in a boardroom, or a gang fight? Ever save a life? Ever won a court case against the odds? Ever held a dying buddy in your arms?.- jackanape on "perspective," 11/8/2010.
"do you a jet ski rental place would work here" - Mike E, 5/10/2011.
I've heard tales of such things
but I’ve never actually met anyone who said “tonic.”
“Pop,” all the time. But not “tonic.”

See, it says I live in "Coke" country, but I don't ever hear that.
I have heard it when I’ve driven through Georgia and the Carolinas, though.
I’ve even heard a waitress say “orange coke” when my brother ordered a slice or whatever.

When I first moved to MN I got into an argument at the grocery store
Cause it was called “Pop” and I was saying that isn’t even a real thing and they were fucking with me. My only time to ever be asked to leave a store.
@AdamLikesBeer If you are in Minneapolis I can tell you where to get a good brew.
Hah.
Yeah, we said pop growing up due to our Minnesota connections.

OT baseball talk...
did Pujols ever have TJ on his screwed up elbow? If not would it be prudent to expect at some point for that thing to blow?
