...in terms of inheirited runners scoring only. The main point of linking this is actually to point out how good of a reliever Ohman has been statistically: even while appearing nearly every game he is performing better than many closers.

Q: When you were growing up, did you ever have a favorite MLB team?
--Brett in Newington, Conn.

My favorite MLB team was the BRAVES, not the White Sox. For some reason, a lot of people think because I grew up on the south side of Chicago that I'm a White Sox fan. I was a huge Braves fans; I owned some jerseys and some of my favorite players were David Justice, Otis Nixon, Sid Bream and Ron Gant, to name a few.

"When Andruw Jones came back to Atlanta this season, the fans booed him," Teixeira said. "If fans can boo Andruw Jones in Atlanta, they can boo anybody."

I went to that Friday game vs. Dodgers specifically to cheer Andruw, and I remember seeing some other true fans with Andruw jerseys cheering with me, and telling the clueless chicks behind me yelling that Andruw sucks to **** off. Did retards drown out the cheering, or is Tex just making a point?
