We’d be better served having Miguel protect someone else cause at this point, there’s no one that can protect him in the line-up.
I think he could use a nice tall glass of Toledo water.

Is it commonly measured as how much higher than BA?

Thanks, I couldn't remember what the average was.
So, I guess, Erin, it should go up but I am sucky at remembering exact things so don’t believe anything I post.
Ryan Raburn antagonist.
Scott Sizemore liberationist.
Would my next question be
what’s the average BA?

Have you guys ever seen the South Park where the boys try to lose at baseball?
It’s one of the best.
Cartman: At this point in the baseball movie, they usually get a really sweet player to help them win the championship.
Kyle: Like the motorcycle kid in Bad News Bears?
Cartman: Yeah! So we need a player who totally sucks ass.

Granderson was my Tiger, then Sizemore, then Willis. Since they're all gone, I'm taking Raburn and hoping the pattern holds.
I never understand how a pitcher can miss badly with three straight and then absolutely paint the outside corner

This must be what it feels like
to be a Royals fan.

i think my expectations were too high to be compared to a KC fan

From what I can tell, KC fans are rather jaded
The Royals swept us late last year and instead of celebrating, Royals Review posted an article about how that proved that the AL Central sucked

I also came across
The point of living and of being an optimist, is to be foolish enough to believe the best is yet to come. Peter Ustinov (1921 – 2004)
For myself I am an optimist – it does not seem to be much use being anything else. Sir Winston Churchill (1874 – 1965), speech at the Lord Mayor’s banquet, London, November 9, 1954
It is a mistake to try to look too far ahead. The chain of destiny can only be grasped one link at a time. Sir Winston Churchill (1874 – 1965)

so do I
Mostly because I always look too far ahead and get overwhelmed by the magnitude of stuff. It’s funny, but I had a lot easier time when I was in college. Just go one exam to the next, and work through the semester day by day.
Now I suck at it. Like Hoover-level sucking. I have no idea how that happened.

Never give in—never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.
Sir Winston Churchill, Speech, 1941, Harrow School
