I remember this dork. It was some kid that lived in Dekalb and had some sort of blog. I'm assuming this is that asshat's blog.

Dude! You forgot to mention that we live in our mother's basements. No, actually we're fairly accomplished law and med students who discuss sports as a hobby not as our lives purpose. Oh, and dude went to Illinois State University. My old druggy roommate who got expelled for selling dope still got into Indiana. How dumb do you have to be. It was probably a tuition thing.


This was great. What the hell is a "fairly" accomplished med student?

Also, I've been to IU. Being on drugs is a prerequisite.

This is the first time I've seen this. I remember him trying to plug it at the end of the call.

I guess I should be flattered that he spent so much time blogging about it. I've finally made it, boys! On the home page of an irrelevant blog! I'll be waiting for my check...

Stride into Mitch's office & demand a raise is bare minimum, I'd think. Oh and give him the URL.

High quality stuffage.

Nothing would make me happier if this Chris Rongey character got fired and had to go work in Wyoming or somewhere that doesn't actually have sports

I don't know about those tools, but it would definitely be bad for me if I went blind. Therefore, I'm hoping I don't.

Although, it is apparently more accurate to determine a player's ability if you are blind yet have access to numbers, than it is to have sight.

Well, I did get "destroyed" by him, so maybe I don't deserve a raise, Beebo. And as you can see, all of the commenters agree with him. Granted, he's the only one commenting on his own posts.

ISO- isolated power
babip- batting average on balls in play
wOBP- weighted on base percentage
UZR- ultimate zone rating

I don't agree with a lot of the egg heads either but a basic understanding of these stats can't hurt.

and for the record I'm also hoping you don't go blind.

Rongey: You're really into sabermetrics aren't you?

Asshat: I am into sabermetrics......

Rongey: Then that's you're problem...

Asshat: you should check out my blog sometime..

Rongey: No, we're not going to do that because no one cares about your stupid blog..

That's gold. Im not a Sox fan, but when I hear Rongey on the radio doing pre/post game coverage, the meatball calls can be entertaining.

Hey Ranger,

I heard your Sox year in review show a few weeks back. I have to say that I thought it was good stuff. There was one caller you kept on for an extended time that you tore to shreds. I remember you said you were going to replay the last inning of Buerhle's perfect game, but you didn't have time to do that because you were arguing with that dope. Im glad you stuck with the call instead. It was funny/entertaining radio for a Saturday afternoon drive.

Thank you, Keyser. Because we can all agree that would not be good.

But, I completely agree with you about SABR stats. I think they're useful. But if you're using them as your sole evaluation of a player's worth, you're going to be mislead much of the time. If I remember right, that dip***t was using a small Jason Nix sample to conclude that he's a better baseball player than Alex Rios.

I fully understand Rios struggled last year and that he is a question for this year, but do you really believe there is an executive out there that truly thinks Nix is a better player?

I thought he was a backup catcher in Toronto last year, Ranger, but I don't think that was the "GZ" Walt was referring... :(
