Correct. We do not have a justice system. The wealthy and powerful have their own set of rules.

If I watch ten Tigers games and you watch just one, who is more likely to see at least one Tigers victory?

I am glad KL is here to teach us how to do maths.

8.3% is not such a low probability that you'll benefit much from doing something more complex than binomial. Anyway, it doesn't become 50% until you reach 8 seasons. So, if a team gets into the playoffs 7 times, odds are they will not win a championship. So, it's not surprising that there are teams that go to the playoffs over and over without winning it all. You do increase your chances though.

It's better to win the championship than just make the playoffs, but there really isn't much (if anything) you can do the build a championship team that is diferent from building a playoff team. The more times you make the playoffs, the better chance you have to win a championship. So, if a GM puts his team in position to make the playoffs year after year, then he is doing it right.

That's poetic man.

The prevailing opinion of Barnhart seemed to be he was a major league catcher and a decent stopgap who they got for a fringe prosoect. If he hit this year the way he did most of his career, few would be complaining about him. I also like calling him "Pooch"

I think that's silly.

I have enjoyed many if not most of the last 38 seasons including some of the seasons where they had little chance to win but had some interesting players to follow. My hyperbole was in response to your hyperbole that the Brewers should not be praised for having a good organization the last few years because they haven't won any championships. I think that's ridiculous.

Left arm fatigue...The way this season is going, he'll be on the IL later this week

So, you've basically been wasting your time following the Tigers for the last 38 years.

Pooch!

They'll happily give it to him. That's how dumb they are.

That is basically Trump's entire life. Do whatever the hell he wants and then keep filing lawsuits and delaying everything.

He had an excellent rookie year for the Giants in 2016, but has done nothing since.

McKinstry would fit in well with the Castros.

The future of MLB!

I would take that chance, because half the relievers will regress next year and will be replaced by more Fetter mentees.

I think there are still a lot of media people and businessmen he can call - like-minded con men. He is still popular and would likely win the primaries if they were held now.

I don't know if he's valuable or whether he chooses those who his adivosrs say are favorites, so he can get a "win".

I think we can all agree that we didn't want to see Torkelson go 4 for 27 in his first week with Toledo.

Trump never heard of Dixon before. He saw her on TV and he liked her boobs.

Konerko got off to a bad start his first two years and then started hitting when he went to Chicago. He had a 120 OPS+ with the White Sox which is right about what Vaughn is doing this year (122). Konerko lasted a long time and had a couple of big years, but he wasn't a big star. Torkelson might never hit, but hoping he hits like Konerko some day is not outrageous.

I don't think you can really make a comparison after just 555 minor league plate appearances for Torkelson and it's not like a .916 OPS is bad. He probably should have spent another season in the minors.
