Straight average:

25/51*162 = 79.41

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 30 May 2006 16:50 (seventeen years ago) link

That would be quite a lot of home runs, but I'm pretty sure the .41 wouldn't count.

― polyphonic (polyphonic), Tuesday, 30 May 2006 16:59 (seventeen years ago) link

that would be a double

tagged out stretching a single into a double.

It's the sign that 36 year old body is breaking down!

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 6 June 2006 20:07 (seventeen years ago) link

yes, it's extremely normal for 25 year old athletes to strain their oblique muscles circling under routine pop-ups.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Wednesday, 7 June 2006 02:38 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah quirky injuries only happen to old guys.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Wednesday, 7 June 2006 04:10 (seventeen years ago) link

I strain my back standing up, for fuck's sake! (But I do drink Playa's Coffee.)

― David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 7 June 2006 10:14 (seventeen years ago) link

I sneezed yesterday and my back hurt for an hour. I felt Sammy Sosa's pain.

― milo z (mlp), Wednesday, 7 June 2006 16:29 (seventeen years ago) link

I love Alex In SF (as he knows) but I especially love how he thinks that injuries to middle fielders caused by players hard-sliding into second are freak/quirky injuries! :-D

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Wednesday, 7 June 2006 17:09 (seventeen years ago) link

I love Steve Shasta (as he knows) but I especially love how he thinks that oblique strains are something that only happen to old people who are moving furniture and A's starting pitchers! ;D

two months pass...

Jermaine Dye now has more HRs (39) than Albert (38)...

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Wednesday, 30 August 2006 02:33 (seventeen years ago) link

Sorry, who hits behind Albert Pujols again?

― Jimmy Mod: THE HANDLESS ORGANIST (The Famous Jimmy Mod), Wednesday, 30 August 2006 03:18 (seventeen years ago) link

you got me!

(btw, I only posted that because I find it "INTERESTING", not out of home team oneupsmanship)(but I've long been a fan of JD generally)

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Wednesday, 30 August 2006 03:32 (seventeen years ago) link

two weeks pass...

Pujols has equalled his season-high HR tally with 46.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 02:04 (seventeen years ago) link

He is on the juice, plus he's old!

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 02:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Haha @ Justin Gaitlin foreshadowing upthread circa 5/22.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 02:20 (seventeen years ago) link

foreshadowing my ass, that story was old already

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 02:23 (seventeen years ago) link

no, he broke the record. and then was caught a month or two later. hmmm sort of like that tour de france dude whose name i can't even remember anymore oh yes I can floyd landis.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 02:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Pujols HR:2B ratio:

pre-AS break: 29:10
post-AS break: 17:21

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 02:27 (seventeen years ago) link

"In 2001, Gatlin was banned from international competition for two years after testing positive for amphetamines. Gatlin appealed on the grounds that the positive test had been due to medication that he had been taking for a number of years for attention deficit disorder, with which he was diagnosed as a child. The appeal resulted in an early reinstatement by the IAAF."

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 04:50 (seventeen years ago) link

what's his ratio pre-oblique strain and post-oblique strain?

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 04:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Pujols I mean, not Gatlin

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 04:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh I see, Haikunym. You didn't know about this which happened last month:

http://www.cbc.ca/cp/sports/060822/s0822114.html

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 11:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh Shastapaws

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 11:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes, Steve Shasta, I did know about that. That's why I said it was old news and then posted a piece from a news story from 2001 that backed up my position. Jesus Christ almighty man.

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 15:00 (seventeen years ago) link

WTF? I think you're being thick here, Matt. Follow the timeline:

6.17.2001 = Justin Gatlin suspended 2 years for testing positive to banned substances.
7.30.2002 = IAAF reinstates Gatlin due to the nature of the offense ("unknowing effect of ADD medication")
4.22.2006 = Gatlin is tested after a relay race in Lawrence, KS.
5.12.2006 = Gatlin sets World Record in Qatar.
5.22.2006 = Steve Shasta scans Sports Illustrated
5.22.2006 = Steve Shasta posts doubtful post about Gatlin's legitimacy
7.29.2006 = USADA publishes results of Gatlin's 4.22.2006 test = positive for banned substances.
8.22.2006 = IAAF bans Gatlin for 8 years due to second positive test.
9.18.2006 = Haikunym denies any foreshadowing in Shasta's 5.22 post with regard to the events of 7.29-8.22 as they were "old news already".
9.19.2006 = Message board drama escalates to C-scale level post exchanges, feathers ruffled, will be forgotten in 24 hours.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 15:22 (seventeen years ago) link

9.18.2006 = Pujols has equalled his season-high HR tally with 46.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 15:24 (seventeen years ago) link

C-scale level post exchange: shasta vs haikunym, blount vs the board on the pete rose thread

B-scale: john vs the board on the old yanqui-bashing threads, the "White Sox: great or lucky" debates of 2005

A-scale: the steroid threads

― NoTimeBeforeTime (Barry Bruner), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 15:27 (seventeen years ago) link

A-scale = the spammer of 2004, k3rry k3@n3, LEEE being served a restraining order to keep away from Billy Mueller.

I object on the basis that none of those were "post-exchanges" between ILB regulars.

Steve Shasta I am extremely sorry to have cast any doubt on your amazing prognostical ability. You were the only one in the world who believed that Justin Gatlin's previous positive doping test might not have been entirely legitimate, and you are certainly the only one on this board who knows anything about track and field.

Now that my entirely sincere apology is out of the way, let's get back to the issue at hand: Albert Pujols, unlike Barry Bonds, is an aged steroid cheat who stains the game with his very presence!

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 16:07 (seventeen years ago) link

It would be better if you said that Barry Bonds is the only player ever to have used an illegal substance in the history of sports, and then change your name to Tom Verducci and start championing anyone who hits homeruns in this era as THE NEW, CLEAN FACE OF BASEBALL, buttholehead.

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 16:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Okay, I'm a buttholehead, I deserve that in a way. But calling me Tom Verducci is uncalled for. THIS, SIR, IS WAR.

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 16:13 (seventeen years ago) link

(and I was never part of the Bonds = Satan mafia!)

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 16:14 (seventeen years ago) link

Don't ask Steve Shasta to pay attention to little things like who said what and when. He's got a point (a ridiculous point, but a point none-the-less) and he's not going to let a little thing like logic derail him.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 16:18 (seventeen years ago) link

But I want to believe in him, I still recall the halcyon days when he had that other name and was more reasonable.

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 16:20 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm beginning to suspect that Steve may not be posting clean. His irrational rages. His oversized skull. His bizarre keyboard injuries. All these things look suspect to me.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 16:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Shasta's panties have been twisted around the tip of his wakeboard ever since the Giants fell out of first place a few weeks ago*.

* baseless speculation, much like the non-Gatlin drug rumours on this thread

― NoTimeBeforeTime (Barry Bruner), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 16:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Actually I used to be a lot nicer and smarter around here.

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 16:25 (seventeen years ago) link

I blame the Brewers' total WTF collapse.

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 16:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Let's keep this up so we can elevate this to a B-level exchange.

― NoTimeBeforeTime (Barry Bruner), Tuesday, 19 September 2006 16:29 (seventeen years ago) link

THAT SHIP HAS SAILED. Plus I have better things to do than get into another pointless fight on the Internets, like stapling my dick to a fire engine or sending a job resume to Jeffrey Loria.
