I also love MDS's little speech there.  He had over 7,000 posts on philliesphans.             

It was an enteraining ride, but I hated the people every second of it. Especially julio.

OBP = good for 1, 2, 3, 7, 8

BA and RBIS = relevancy and trump OBP for 4, 5, 6

Getting on base is great, driving in runs is better. I don't think games are won by whoever can get on base the most. While it will help or increase the probability of scoring, driving in runs for the middle of the lineup is key. EI have nothing to contribute.

Any one who thinks BA is more important than OBP is just stupid.   

Gotta love it when someone who has thousands and thousands of posts on multiple message boards and has an internet persona starts calling other people nerds.  I got a good laugh out of that one.  Thanks IGY. 

I also love MDS's little speech there.  He had over 7,000 posts on philliesphans.             

In other words, you have nothing further to contribute here.

Good.

Say goodbye then.

No, where did you get that from you silly bitch?

They also hate Rowand because they have some sort of diluded view of normal Phillies fans who view Rowand as a god. Rather, the fans like him for his effort and willingness to throw his body around, but are surely aware that he's not really all that good. They just like him as a player in the "hometown hero" sense. mpm has bought into this and along with the nerds on philliesphans, feels his pathetic awarness of stupid baseball stats make him a much smarter and intelligent observer of the game than the normal fan. So with that, they begin to purposely and for no apparant reason other than to make themselves feel better about their supposed superior baseball knowledge, worship players who have high vorp's and what not, and kill players who fans worship simply because they are fun to watch and aren't losers like Pat Burrell.

Even though Burrell is an overall better player than Rowand, simply based on skills, I'd rather have Rowand. I'm not a Rowand worshiper, not by any means, but he actually gives two shteins. Burrell has proven time and time again that he's a loser. He doesn't care about winning, he doesn't care about his teammates, he just cares about how fast he can get from the ballpark to Olde City so he can farg some slutty college girl. Thats all well and good, but when I'm building a baseball team, I'll take someone who actually wants to win.

But it'll be fun having him around. Every game the fans will cheer Pat in the beginning, then he'll strike out looking for the 100th time and everyone will boo. Except mpm, who will cheer how he worked the count. Because that really matters when you hit .250 and strikeout 150 times. Moron.

On point. Did Marcus proof read that for you?

[MDS]

Not only that, but Mike Kern came. Mike Kern!

[mpmcgraw]

On point. Did Marcus proof read that for you?

It is full of bad grammar and misspellings.

You bet your ass he did.

[MDS]

Because proofreading and making sure grammar is correct on internet message board rants is important?

You are a giant dork. Enough.

[mpmcgraw]

I was making fun of Hayes, dingus.

[MDS]

Yea, I don't care.

You suck as a person. End it.

[PhillyPhreak54]

VORP!!

[mpmcgraw]

Burrell's vorp is 27.

[SD_Eagle5]

Burrell's vorp is 27.

His VORP is the same as his avg. hitting with RISP
