The best athlete of today

Warning. This has nothing to do with baseball; but I think this article does two things very well:
1) highlights how NASCAR really is a sport
2) Possibly opens up a debate barring deletion or me getting laughed at in the face

Good Old Baseball Question

GoBravesNY — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 03:04:22 -0000

This is a flat out baseball/stats question. And I'm getting the feeling that a lot of you, especially royhobbs, are going to like this question. Alright so as for the question: Why is batting about .330 considered -good- best hitter in the league? These guys are professionals! If you were to go to a surgeon and he told you that he had a success rate of 33% would you really go to that guy? No, you'd want the surgeon who has somewhere between 85 and 100 percent success rate. Also, If a pitcher has a win percentage of .330 then they would be a crap pitcher. For a pitcher, to be considered good based on win percentage they have to be at least 70%. So why for hitters is .330 considered the best in baseball, and why do we throw millions of dollars at the people who have a 33% success rate? Am I missing something?

What's in a name?

GoBravesNY — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 02:25:40 -0000

I have no idea why I thought of this now, or even at all, but why not? What's the reason behind your name? Some of ours are pretty self explanatory, ie. mine- clearly I'm a Braves fan from NY. Others, like The Keith Lockhart Era probably have nothing to do with the person behind the computer and were based on something else. So, what about you guys? Where did your name come from?

Heyman said he feels the Braves, Giants and Mets will compete for Holliday, though he ‘wouldn’t be shocked to see him go to the Yankees, Red Sox or Cardinals.’
In the end, he believes Holliday will stay in National League.
