1. Boring.

[cboy4]

4. Maybe you're more interested in these stats:

NL WILDCARD STANDINGS

1. San Francisco Giants :bounce: ------

2. Milwaukee Brewers..... 1.0

3. Colorado Rockies..... 1 1/2

4. Chicago Cubs..... 2 1/2

4. N.Y. Mets......... 2 1/2



Would you look at that! Two of the teams are from the "shitty" NL West!

So, what you have is three teams from the NL West in the playoffs, while the Mets struggle to prepare for next year. Again.

[Forkboy]

15. Holy shit...you posted something that actually matters.

Someone hold me, I'm feeling faint.

[inthebrain]

19. Funnier that he keeps posting that the Rockies are just a flare up

Now he's including them in his argument that the NL west is a beast.

CBoy, you never disspoint with your ability to contradict yourself.

It's just June and a 162 game season. Once again, the NL west is gonna finish with records in the bottom third of the NL.

[cboy4]

20. Well wait a minute. You're the one who's been going on and on and on and on

about how bad the NL West is.

I'm simply kicking your ass with facts showing otherwise.

[inthebrain]

21. I did

and your loading your argument with contradiction.

As usual.

One minute Colorado is a sucky team having a flare up.

Next minute they are part of this supposed tandem of strong NL West teams.

The schedule is the great equalizer in all things. The NL west is a lousy division and at the end of the season the only team in your division with a respectable record will most likely be LA. That's mainly cause that also get to beat the living snot out of Colorado, San Diego and Arizona. They probably finish about .500 against San Fran.

6. Or how about this?

2008/2009 NHL average attendance/percentage of seats filled..

16. SJ Sharks..17,488...100%

30. NY Islanders...13,773..84.5%

[Forkboy]

14. Must...push...buttons...and continue...to...be a ....troll.

[Upton]

16. Uh oh...Mr Grumpy is here

[Forkboy]

17. Uh oh. Mr I root for a team that's so bad I need attendance figures to argue over is here.

What's up, Chumley?

[Forkboy]

13. When your team sucks ass I guess this is what you're reduced to.

:)

2. This means nothing...they need to do the average of home games for the home

teams, then compare the average when a different team comes to town...to see what the difference is.

[cboy4]

5. Of course it's means nothing. But it's interesting, which is why I posted it.

Incidentally, it not surprising some of the "lesser" teams -- which might not necessarily have a player who's a big attraction -- draw.

I'm pretty sure most teams schedule their give-away promotions against the crappier teams to help boost attendance.

I mean, the Giants aren't going to schedule cap day against the Dodgers or the Phillies.

They're going to schedule it against an horrific team like the Pirates or the Marlins.

[joeybee12]

9. Oh, of course! Smack!

Shoulda known this wasn't a math lesson...hmmm...and the Nationals and Pirates and Marlins are in there....now it all makes sense.

Welcome back!

[cboy4]

10. See! I always have a strategy

:hi:

[madinmaryland]

3. The top three draws on the road?

And what exactly does that prove, Einstein.

That's right. It doesn't prove JACK SHIT.

Thanks for another stupid OP!

[Upton]

7. Aren't you more interested

in your triple A Pirates and their battle for the dubious honor of worst attendance in MLB?

They've got the lead now, but remember trumad's Marlins are the 3 time defending champions.

[madinmaryland]

8. Are you trying to out-stupid cboy?

:wtf:

[Upton]

11. If Pittsburgh wants that title

they'll have to do better than last night..

Indians/Pirates....19,109 :thumbsdown:

Orioles/Marlins....10,222 :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown:

I was thinking the Pirates could possibly do the double by finishing with the worst attendance the same year they break the record for consecutive losing seasons...think of the shame!!

[madinmaryland]

18. Sad, just very sad, that you continue to bring that up.

Your arguments are falling on deaf ears.

Ironic how a team that you worship bailed out of a city and has NEVER won a World Series since they left that city.

[inthebrain]

22. They can't argue that the Frisco Giants are a good team

playing in the ultra shitty NL West.

[AllieB]

23. I was whined at when I suggested the same thing:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=215&topic_id=100521&mesg_id=100646

The Baltimore Orioles would be a contender in the NL West. :eyes:

[Upton]

24. You were given the facts

the NL West has both the team with the best record in baseball and the wild card leader.

[Onceuponalife]

26. Don't bother, upton

You can't use actual facts to get arrogant twits to believe something they don't wanna believe.

[Upton]

25. Currently they have a better record

than the team you root for..that's a pretty good argument..

[Forkboy]

12. Tweedle Dumb And Tweedle Dee. Thank God you're not as desperate a fan as they are.

You, at least, have some self respect. :toast:
