Or are you worried that if you use your real blogger ID, we'll find your Warcraft III slash fiction blog?Murbleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08247252634159528174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11923437.post-1119282872314769112005-06-20T11:54:00.000-04:002005-06-20T11:54:00.000-04:00Good points, Jimmy. I would also add that the term "throwback" is almost always applied to white guys. Chipper Jones, Jim Thome, Paul Molitor, Trot Nixon, Roger Clemens, etc. Right now, I'd say guys like Juan Pierre, Dontrelle WIllis, and even, say, Mike Cameron, are all throwback players, yet you never hear them referred to as such. Why is that?Ken Tremendoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15290167169845520176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11923437.post-1119265571424795592005-06-20T07:06:00.000-04:002005-06-20T07:06:00.000-04:00ken-<BR/><BR/>when JM finally does publish everyone in the league's "intangibles" stats in the Joe Morgan Anecdotal Abstract, i'd be interested to see how they break down along racial lines. it seems to me that baseball's "intangibles" stat is analagous to basketball's "heart" stat of the bird/magic era.<BR/><BR/>it's amusing to me that JM believes he has special privy to the world of "things that don't show up in the box score." well, sabrmetrics was invented to fix shortcomings in box scores and traditional statistics -- to invent more accurate and more useful stats than batting average, wins, etc. yet JM will reject sabrmetrics for traditional stats and box scores -- the very things he routinely calls into question whenever the intangibles debate comes up. it's almost as if he senses that the inaccuracy of batting average and wins are what allow him to speculate stupidly that the gaps are filled in not by quantifiable numbers, but by derek jeter's nutsack, which he hopes to grasp tightly and fondle some day.<BR/><BR/>-jimmy ballgameAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
