I did an interesting bit of research today..... When we pick a PS, we all look, of course, at who the starter is that day. But starters hardly ever complete a game anymore, so I thought it would be interesting to know which starters averaged the greatest number of points per game by themselves (Which, as you may recall, is how I once suggested this game be scored: Pick a starter every day and get his points, and pick a relief pitcher every day and get his points). If you pick a solid starter that only averages, for example, between 6-7 innings per start, you're not getting your money's worth like you are for the guy who averages 7-8 innings per start. Anyway, here are the guys I looked at: Martinez, Schilling, Santana, Mulder, Pavano, Zambrano (Cubs), Wood (Cubs), Carpenter, Oswalt, Clemens, Perez (Pitts), Sheets, Schmidt, Peavy, and Johnson (Ariz). I figured their individual point totals for each of their starts, added in 5 points if their team won the game, regardless of whether or not he got the decision, and got an average number of points per start. There were some surprises.....Unfortunatley though, I'm not going to share the results until the season is over.... :p

Originally posted by Don Sicilia: You sure you're not going to share??  :p Sure. When the season is over, I'll share. The predictive value of this information is suspect anyway. 25 starts or so isn't such great sample size, one or two bad games can really skew the results, and the bottom line in picking a PS is the match-up against that team in that park, etc. I did the study more out of curiousity than anything. Still, some of the results were interesting.

Well, let's see......you called me a windbag once. OK, it's true, I'll give you that, but still....... Actually, I had FS in mind when I wrote the above. Even though it was directed at MC, he's been a gentleman until recently when he basically gave up. As far as hurling insults at DB, JG, et al....They're seldom in first place, so if you want to insult the big dog on any given day, you have to move quickly to get to one of them. :p And I don't take this game any more seriously or treat it with any more passion than DB or JG does. I'm just a little bit better at it. It's lonely at the top.

There is a great difference between playing a game and being arrogant. For as good as you are in this game, you lack good sportsmenship for ALL your fellow players not just DB or JG. In fact, many times you make the game less fun to be in. Some of us have no problem being near the bottom of the ranks and STILL having a great time playing. BUT you do. Maybe we handle life better at our age. Shit, it must be tuff to get old and cranky. Lighten up we are people too. Originally posted by plawrence: It's lonely at the top.

I really do appreciate it. It has been a busy time in so many ways here.
