I think Rocco is waiting to make some sort of WCW Scott Hall type debut.

"You people. You know who I am but you don't know why I'm here..."

That's why I was surprised when someone said that was rocco. I expect more from him

basically if you have the swag to pull it off then do it

I believe z'mattu is rocco

redwill = Crzymike

I lol'd

Pedro mashed this spring. Haven't heard much on his defense at first, so I guess that's a good thing. If he hits like 2013 Pedro and can stay in the lineup this team might hit 95+ wins. Too bad the Cubbies are competent again.

Ohhh how bout that

I thought he was zamaatu. Who's that then?

It's gonna be someone boring like snedeker or McDowell

For as big and strong as Malkin is he sure in the hell gets injured a ton.

Have you ever seen him in the interview in the locker room post-game? He's actually a rail

Any steak record involves luck. It's the nature of such a record. So I agree with that. But saying a baseball streak record had to involve more luck than another type of streak record is inaccurate, imo.

This is what I am trying to say. Thank you.

I guess my point is this: please show me how much luck he had. Like, was his BABIP extraordinarily high or something? This is kind of a pointless argument without actually going into detail. Although some might argue this is pretty pointless anyway lol Show me that he had no luck at all and it was ...

ESPN changed their website today. I don't like change. Except when it's moving to 5AF.

I'm not sure on it yet. I don't think they should have done it on April Fools. I kept looking for something that was really wrong with it, thinking it was a big joke.

Yeah just go. If it ends up being something and you tweak it again but never have it documented you might be SOL if you need workers comp. Nothing bad can happen from going

Chuck kinda annoyed me all season with his issues. I knew there would be a big payoff for all the time they spent on him, and they really hit it out of the park. That was really good. And it turns out Chuck will be right. Wonder if Jimmy turned into Atty Slippin Jimmy due to this or if it would hav...

happy birthday sir

but ulf and I both concede that there's luck in every record I just don't see the point of singling out this one specifically oh that's ulf? the tone of this discussion makes sense now. ulf and i can't talk about such things. this one is singled out because luck plays a significant factor in it. it...

I think you all are taking this whole "luck" thing far, far too literally. There obviously has to be a skill set to have these records. You can't put (and no one did put) all of the record strictly on luck. But to deny that luck has anything to do with any record ever, it's all skill is naive. It's...

Okay then. So Wilt Chamberlain's 100 point game was just luck of when he got all his points then right? there's a significant difference between baseball and every other sport in this regard. and like c2i said, it's not "just" luck, but luck plays enough of a factor for me to not give it the respec...

And I mean, if it's timing of his hits, I assume his average the rest of the year must have stunk right?

There's a reason they named the "5.5 hole" after Tony Gwynn. There's a point where luck isn't really much of a factor.

Okay then. So Wilt Chamberlain's 100 point game was just luck of when he got all his points then right?

luck on balls put in play sure, but 0-5 with 5 Ks.. nevermind, this isn't going anywhere.

yeah...that.

it's baseball. the best player ever could go 0-5 with 5 strikeouts in game 7 of the world series, and it wouldn't mean anything about his ability. you need to be timely, and you can't control it.

Yeah that's one game. But... 56! That is not luck.

Wade boggs, at one point, was in mid summer and they were saying he had yet so swing and miss to that point in the season.

Tony Gwynns amount of multi-strikeout games was ridiculous too. Not sure if he has any records, but man he was good.
