The end is Neyer

[JC]

The egg Heads probably never played sports and this is their idea of competing.

"They never played the game"? From a sportswriter? Priceless.

He says it will be easy to find him again. Good thing. Neyer's been extremely important in sportswriting.

Extremely important to who?

Baseball fans under the age of 60.

I'm 52. He's of absolutely no importance to me, although I recognize that he is a Bill James disciple and among the leaders in advanced statistical analysis.

That's what's wrong with sports. Too many egg heads trying to micro everything about a simple freaking game.

And here I thought it was rapists like Ben Roethlisberger and dog killers like Michael Vick. Damn egg heads!

The character of those guys may be in question but not their athletic abilities. The egg Heads probably never played sports and this is their idea of competing.

Do you ever get tired of making a fool of yourself?

FYI. I played the game. Couldn't hit uncle charlie consistently to make it the next level but knew a few who did in baseball and in other sports.

So you never played pro but know people who did, sounds like, I would imagine 90 % of this board. Billy Beane played at a higher level than you, is he an athlete or an egghead?

Dude, we've had this type of conversation before. What is your malfunction to pick an argument with every post that I make?
Billy Beane is an athletically-inclined egghead. Does that answer your question?

Are we in junior high here? Seriously. "Egg heads"? We're in our 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s. And we're still worshipping the jocks and putting down the smart kids?

****, I'm an egg head too so I'm not putting them down.
I'm just tired of everything sports related being micro analyzed to death.

I never understand that mentality. How does it affect your enjoyment of the game?

Here's the thing: If the information people are acting on is wrong, then they should get it right. No matter how long the accepted wisdom has been around, wrong is wrong.

That's okay, I'm tired of seeing poor reasoning and fallacious arguments rule the day. But I've learned to live with it. Mostly.

Don't forget the 80s.

You're welcome, spnited. :)

You're a nattering nincompoop, not an egg head.

And you act like an asshole. So what does it prove? Nothing except we all have computers and we all have voices and opinions and we share them in anonymity.

Meanwhile, three are up for replacing Neyer:

Joe Sheehan
Craig Calcaterra
Jonah Keri

I'd take Joe Sheehan 10 times over the other just based on writing. I think I'd take him over Neyer, too. Calcaterra runs a pretty good blog, so if they want the blogging experience that gives him an edge. Keri's solid, but I think the other two have the edge.
