Jim Bowden you crazy character.
You see, this is exhibit A in the argument for including more smilie options because the ones we have right now just don't do justice to reacting to that masterpiece. I would bet FOX is too stupid to be embarrassed by Bowden's circus act. ;) Shocker/spoiler: Dayton Moore once again shows just how far out of his depth he is as a GM. :eek: Hey kids: the bottom line is...runs and ribbies. Oye, Kowboy Koop my sympathies. Justin Upton played the role of the idiot jock to a tee. Otherwise, I enjoyed the rest of the contributors, although the whole "Chicks dig VORP" angle is sooo yesterday.
This entire segment is painful and hilarious all at once. Bowden trying to play the role of an ex-GM with a slight clue. The bizarre little vignettes with the porn star lookin' chick making another ridiculous 'Stats are HOT' sort of comment, then back to Jimmy. Justin Upton as the cliche 'I just swing me a bat.' athlete. This is so awful it's awesome. A cheezy movie-esque sports segment.
What the Hell was that?! 10:45 on...why is Jim narrating over footage of himself staring at the camera with his arms crossed?!
Oh, them wacky kids and their computers!
And sweet lord, that ending! SO...BAD...
I need to watch it again. lol
That was something. GoodnessQuote:

Yeah this has been on the Royals boards since it went up......we knew it would be full of lols since it was DM talking about stats..but all that Bowden crap was icing on the cake.
Seriously, who the F decided to schedule DM for this interview?!!?? I got 500 bucks says DM isn't even REMOTELY familiar with the terms wOBA or FIP.
He's still wrapping his head around OPS.Quote:
