    Re: People on Mets Board saying really dumb things about Adam Dunn

    Your right statheads are not sitting there writing things down. That's fine. Why sit there and count stats in a game when the lovely computer is able to do it for you? Sorry if I prefer to lean toward the quesiton "how" instead of "what" happened.

    I'm glad you qualified that with "game" or else I would have thought you were going to take Stuart Scott on your honeymoon with you.

    I think if Stuart Scott shows up at Raisor's honeynoon someone is going to get a detached cornea and this time it might not be Stuart Scott.
    School's out. What did you expect?

    I'm thinking about calling off the wedding. Amanda told me yesterday that if I look at Redszone even once during the honeymoon, bad things will happen.

    Is Redszone > Wedded Bliss?

    What a crock.

    The vast majority of stats guys get into stats in order to give them something baseball-related to do when there are no games being played. When they are at a game they every bit the beer swillin', peanut eatin', moundball playin' SOB as any 'traditional' fan. They don't break out the sliderules and spreadsheets until AFTER the game.

A lot of people don't like the guy, so they criticize him for everything.

    And these same people never seem to be around when he hits two homeruns in a game, but they are the first one's on the board when he strikeouts twice in a game.
    I agree, I visited Reds fan forum on Reds.com today. (WOW) You should read some of the things posters on that board say about Dunn.

    Thak goodness for RedsZone

    Thank you Steve.

    That would sum me up perfectly.
