I was just using him as a recent comparsion to estimate the percentage of votes. I don't think he'll get the same number of votes but I don't think he will be that far off.
well ... those numbers are when they got into the hall ... if i had to guess ... thome will get in around the low 80's ... in his second year ...0 -

You obviously don't want Thome to be elected to the HoF a year earlier than Alomar.
It's generally acknowledged that Alomar was "punished" for the spitting incident by having his HoF election delayed one year. I don't agree with shit like that, but that's what happened.
Also, I predict that Thome will not be a first-ballot Hall of Famer - probably 3rd or 4th. Not that I agree, of course.Spectrum 10/27/09; New Orleans JazzFest 5/1/10; Made in America 9/2/12; Phila, PA 10/21/13; Phila, PA 10/22/13; Baltimore Arena 10/27/13; Phila, PA 4/28/16; Phila, PA 4/29/16; Fenway Park 8/7/16; Fenway Park 9/2/18; Asbury Park 9/18/21; Camden 9/14/22; Las Vegas 5/16/24; Las Vegas 5/18/24; Phila, PA 9/7/24; Phila, PA 9/9/24; Baltimore Arena 9/12/24; Pittsburgh 5/16/25; Pittsburgh 5/18/25

honestly ... i could care less ... cliffy brought up alomar - i just went along ... i'm not enough of a baseball historian or purest to know who is in and on what ballot ... i really don't take this stuff too seriously ... like i said, i like the guy i just don't think he's a first ballot guy based on what i know ... simple as that ...0 -
real cool of thome to mention charlie manuel and his effect on his career last night. they obviously have pretty tight bond.
pipe dream--but i would love to see the phils acquire him again via waiver wire deal in the next 2 weeks. lil pop off the bench and a dh in the ws. probably wont happen...

Glad Thome is getting some recognition for his 600th. He deserves every bit of it.
crazy as it sounds I think the phils have a better shot at getting heath bell via waivers trade than they do of getting thome0 -

Randall Delgado was just called up by atlanta to take tommy hanson's spot. He's got a no hitter thru 6.
Atlanta is annoying with their never ending supply of beast pitchers0 -

guess they must have guys in every stadium cuz he hits the same number away and at home ...
But only the Blue Jays, and not their opponents, got a home run boost in Toronto. When the Jays were on the road in 2010, they hit home runs in 4 percent of plate appearances in which they made contact, compared with an AL average of 3.6 percent. At Rogers, their home run on contact rate soared to 5.4 percent, which is a home-field advantage seven times the magnitude teams typically enjoy.
Opposing batters, however, actually homered on contact at a below-average rate in Toronto. As a result, the power differential between home and visiting hitters at Rogers in 2010 was the third largest of any park in any season over the past 60 years.If I had known then what I know now...

hey, can anyone explain rotisserie fantasy baseball to me in a nutshell? I have never participated in it and what happened was my brother quit managing his so I took over but I still don't really grasp how I get 1 point 1 night and loose -.5 the other night.
I am also coming off a 6 point night last night, so pretty pumped for that seeing as that hardly ever happens.
I usually just do head-to-head fantasy baseball

roto leagues are usually a cumulative total of stats for the year. no head to head.
so if there are ten teams in your league and you have the most home runs, you would earn 10 points towards the standings. team with 2nd most home runs would earn 9 points toward standings. 3rd highest hr total would earn 8 points. and so on.
that's how the roto leagues I have been in have worked anyway0 -

so if I had 6 points last night for my team, then I can presume that I went, for example, from 5th in overall batting average to 4th which got me 1 point and say went from 4th to 2nd in HR's so that would have got me 2 points etc?1998 ~ Barrie

AL East/AL Wild Card, AL West, NL East, NL Wild Card and NL Central are all over. Pennant Fever!!!
The shitty AL Central should be interesting as always. Tigers love blowing leads in September.
I think there's a chance the d-Bags run away with the NL West. It would be interesting to see the Giants fighting to survive again. I just don't think they have any more pixie dust to do it.Spectrum 10/27/09; New Orleans JazzFest 5/1/10; Made in America 9/2/12; Phila, PA 10/21/13; Phila, PA 10/22/13; Baltimore Arena 10/27/13; Phila, PA 4/28/16; Phila, PA 4/29/16; Fenway Park 8/7/16; Fenway Park 9/2/18; Asbury Park 9/18/21; Camden 9/14/22; Las Vegas 5/16/24; Las Vegas 5/18/24; Phila, PA 9/7/24; Phila, PA 9/9/24; Baltimore Arena 9/12/24; Pittsburgh 5/16/25; Pittsburgh 5/18/25
