Mariano for the four inning save. Who's with me?

Just barely not serious.

Phillies killing themselves with these DPs.

Bocsius · « **Reply #303 on:** November 04, 2009, 09:46:56 PM »

Teixeira will be up 3rd in this inning. Dude's batting .100 so far in the series.

I'm usually one who believes things will even out. The law of averages, etc. He's due.

It's sort of like how they said no one had lost game one of the series and come back to win since 2002. 11 out of 12 first game winners had gone on to win the whole thing, etc. Well, that means to me "eventually someone will get it done, it can't go on like this forever." Naturally the Yankees lost game 1 and came back to win the next 3. What now? Of course, that introduces another law-of-averages possibility. Something like 90% of teams that were up 3-1 went on to win the series. Yankees are 8 for 8 in such scenarios. So is it time for that stat to even itself out a bit?

Anyway, now I'm rambling, and Tex is up.

Ganhyun · « **Reply #304 on:** November 04, 2009, 09:48:21 PM »

And Tex breaks out with a hit and rbi. Could be the clincher right there.

Bocsius · « **Reply #305 on:** November 04, 2009, 09:48:26 PM »

law of averages

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #306 on:** November 04, 2009, 09:49:57 PM »

Bah, it has nothing to do with that. It has to do with Teixeira actually being a good hitter.

Bocsius · « **Reply #307 on:** November 04, 2009, 09:51:04 PM »

Which is why he couldn't go on hitting .100 forever. Law of averages.

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #308 on:** November 04, 2009, 09:52:23 PM »

More like regression towards the mean.

Ganhyun · « **Reply #309 on:** November 04, 2009, 09:52:47 PM »

I just hate the term law of averages.

Just because something happened a lot before, doesn't make it any more likely that the OPPOSITE would happen in this particular instance, which is what you're implying.

Game over.

Utley a few feet from owning the HR record in the World Series there.

Nah, Howard was already towards his mean. He strikes out alot too. He just woke up and realized that hey, he needs to hit as well in order for them to win. lol. Too bad it looks like its too little too late.

She doesn't mind the off-season, since it's not on the TV and she doesn't have to deal with it. I listen to sports radio at work and that's about it, the off-season doesn't come home.

Well, good for Matsui. Seems like a decent enough guy. I can't say I dislike any of the current Yankees anywhere near as much as the fans I'll be hearing it from over the next year.

Also, this is as good a reason as any to stay away from trying to use sports as a metaphor for more important things.
