These CT threads are just conversation about anything at this point.
What about starting, say, an IRC channel? Less permanent and such. Won’t fill the overflow thread space with a bunch of non-baseball conversation.
so is someone complaining about the amount of space we're using with these?

I got rid of that putter years ago
yeah it sucks when you break someone else’s clubs
But seriously, folks....
I've always wanted to go to a really posh country club
and throw a faux tantrum on the 18th (that’s the one in front of the clubhouse, right?)………which results in me snapping my putter/throwing clubs into the lake.
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."

I've only played at high end country club once
I didn’t like it…too stuffy and rich people make my teeth hurt
But seriously, folks....
Well I don't like golf, so staying part of the country club wouldn't be an issue.
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
You love golf?

Though I'm liking the idea of something less permanent. So y'know we could all talk about people when they're not here.

I still think the Western Conference is too tough for that big of a jump for the Kings. The Warriors at least added an All-Star and I don’t think the players will miss 850 games due to injury again.

I don't get angry....
but the sarcasm and jokes don’t always come through in the written form. I did tweet CT that you weren’t speaking for me the other night — then learned that the whole thing was a set-up to stimulate more callers. Not everyone who participates in the show does it by phone — not fair to call out the two of us when there are so many others who don’t call, either.
Losing this team would be a huge failure for this city and an affront to Oakland’s great sports legacy.
it wasn't intended that way, CT just loves to stir it up and try to make ladies call in cuz none ever do
I was trying to take responsibility for not projecting that I speak for all of us when I am on there with him, cuz me and him are friends in real life and we have kind of a goofy rapport that sometimes gets carried away. I mean, I call in and play keyboards, you know? It’s all in fun.

And yeah – I’d refuse to go if it was that hot. “Fuck you, Billy. I’ll play for Stockton and Sacramento, but I ain’t going to Midland.”

Sacramento is in the valley, though, and Oakland is in the Bay.

"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
Not sure.
But remember that park effects are not the only factor in home/road splits. Not sure where lenscrafters got that figure, though.
That said, Hit Tracker Online says that five of Carlos’s twenty HRs wouldn’t have left the yard on a windless, 70F day at sea level. One of them, a 406 footer, would have landed only 309 feet from the plate in a normalized park. Wow.
3 reasons:
1) The sample size in his splits is small. There isn’t enough data to drastically adjust those numbers one way or another.
2) Most people use park factors and league differences incorrectly. People tend to overstate or understate park factors and league differences to fit whatever their argument they’re making (e.g. PL78 always making erroneous statements about the difference between the NL/AL). In general, I’d trust statcorner’s park adjustments rather than the hyperbole most people are fond of throwing out.
3) Coors field doesn’t give much of an advantage to lefties as much as righties.

I roll my eyes most times I hear it, actually. People remember unfair ref calls that hurt and tend to forget unfair ref calls that help. All teams have some fans who cry conspiracy.
That said, the Derek Jeter strike zone does exist,

Hey, we managed to get to a SB and an NFC title game with Jake Fucking Delhomme.
If he can get there, anyone can.
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
It's been his name for a while. He's awful.
Steve Smith is the best receiver of the last decade. Sadly he’s been stuck with Delhomme.

I like Holt, but his numbers are skewed due to the system he played in and the talent around him.
I happen to think Faulk is the best QB of the last 15 years or so – and then when you throw in Warner, Bruce and Martz? C’mon.
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
I didn't say there weren't other excellent QBs.
But nobody would put up the numbers he has with Delhomme throwing them the ball.
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
I really don't know about that.
Andre Johnson has been amazing with David Carr. And I’d guess that Moss and Harrison would be god-like with anybody throwing to them.
Moss wasn't too great in Oakland.
I still think he’s fantastic though.
It’s a symbiotic relationship though.
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
Jake Delhomme looked like had some solid years in his prime from 2003-2007. He was a hair above the pack in completion percentage and quarterback rating.

"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
Granted, I don't watch a lot of 49ers football
But it seems like he’s in a position where he can succeed, and having some continuity will help. Didn’t he have like a different offensive coordinator every year?
"Don't look back. Something might be gaining on you." - Satchel Paige
They seem to be a solid team now. They've got themselves to a position where they're
always on the cusp of the playoffs (granted in a poor division), but they play a style of football that makes them difficult to beat in the post season.
"You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig."
