    Needless to say, Sewell has yet to show that kind of discipline for me yet

    Re: How well do you know baseball?

    Oh man I love these kind of questions.

    Alright on Stats, I give myself a 0.2. I can barely count on my fingers because I always run out of numbers when I get to 10.

    On History, I give myself a 3. Im a little better on this because I know that candy bar Baby Ruth hit 714 homers. Honus Wagner owned the Cracker Jack Company and his rival Ty Cobb later bought Fiddle Faddle to compete.

    On playing the game, a 4.3. I got hit in the back with a ball while playing Slosh ball, but was still able to drink my beer. Otherwise, a 1.7.

    The other stat thingy, a negative 12.

    NO we are not closing it down till I put my 2 cents in Gosh-Darnit

    Id say Im above a 5. I may be giving the "experts" more credit. But Im in my early 20s. I havent played the game since high school and I am WAY more into Basketball, Football and Boxing.

    I recently, like 2004 got all the way back into baseball. But when I was a kid I was addicted to the 80s A's(Ricky, Mark, Jose, Dave Stewart and Henderson). Then like 1996 I got real into basketball because I was playing it and forgot about baseball until Barry Bonds started hitting every HR in my backyard.

    So I know about the game, I am learning more about the history daily, but actually playing the game . . . Never had much power, I played like Carl Crawford with a little less speed and righty. I used to have a great slider tho

    So I grade myself 6.6

    I would give my self an 8. I follow the Brewers daily, from reading about the rumors, to just looking and evaluating the stats. Now, basically I just follow the NL, the AL I could care less about.

    No, you are way off. You are very flawed with stats, and with how players age, and are too biased. I would not even give you a 5 from the way you behave here.

    i wouldn't know what to give myself, i know the history really really well, but I am not too aware with SABR ratings or current other players around the league outside of my team. I just don't really pay attention to other teams, i could probably tell you every starter in the league though off the top of my head, ask me any trivia questions though. I'm quite random

    No, because knowing you, you will cheat and look up the answers when I ask them. You have proved that you are a cheat before.

    To be honest, I think a few people here probably inflated their score a bit. Hell, I might have exaggerated when I gave myself a 6, to be completely honest about it. It's human nature.

    RSR, knock it off. You and metsguy are like two bickering siblings and it's getting incredibly old and annoying.
