Thanks for the love.

This was :lmao:

I always get the feeling Ted's wife will be like Vera on Cheers. We will never really see her on camera.

Got tickets for Opening Day and 4/17 BPS. Already hit McFaddens a couple times recently before Wings games. Should be a fun year..

I miss banning him.

San Diego

Right on, man. This gem got 1811 views

David,I understand where you are coming from here, but if you look at the numbers, Pujols is not even on the first page which is very surprising. http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=...amp;season=2006 (may have to resort the BABIP column). Look at the leaders. Cabrera, Ramirez, Utley...

My BBT mojo is gone... :(

Actually Howard is smoking Pujols on BABIP = Batting Average on Balls in Play. .355 to .287 and that is with his 170 Ks. The Runs Created/Game are within .5 run a game with a nod to Pujols.Cards are 80-70 with Pujols missing a bunch games. Phils are 79-73 with Howard only taking a couple games...

Here is great link for comparing numbers beyond the basics. http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=...amp;season=2006 Very interesting. Apparently, Geoff Jenkins in Mr. Clutch in NL.

There may be one pitcher in the league who actually makes that call during a game (Clemens). Pujols is a more complete hitter, but the momentum is behind Howard right now.

Honestly, you are probably better debating the other numbers. I think Howard is viewed as more clutch right now. Opposing teams are afraid to pitch to him late in games now. Right now the momentum is behind Howard IMO. That said, both are having killer seasons. I would have a tough time making...

This is like the Ortiz debate. Where did you get that walk off number? "a lot more" :) . It is pretty obvious to most people the race is between Howard and Pujols. Who means more to their team? Both mean a ton. Could easily go either way.
