PrintSome interesting clips from Aaron Miles's Wikipedia page:
- He finished fourth in the 2004 Rookie of the Year voting. Willy Taveras was second in the 2005 vote.
- He almost made the roster for the 2004 Olympics - for Greece.
- He has pitched a shutout inning of relief in the Majors. Suck it, Paul Janish!
- In 2000, gunmen held him capitve in his hotel room during spring training. Miles was able to wrestle and subdue his captor. Police arrived shortly thereafter and shot the man while Miles held him against the ground.
This trade is fantastic.

Beane is a genius
Didnt he rip off jocketty in that mulder deal too?
I believe it was mulder for haren, calero,and barton
Turned haren into anderson, carter, cunningham, eveland, smith, gonzalez
Turned gonzalez, smith ,street into holliday
turned cunningham + into kouzmanoff
turned holliday into wallace,mortensen, peterson
turned wallace into michael taylor
... Did he make a really good move here or something?
I mean… we’re the ones who got rid of Taveras…
"People don't kill people. Burning oreo packages kill people."
he basically just paid a few million bucks
for the opportunity to employ Adam Rosales. im not saying Beane isnt a genius, but…im not sure how to finish that sentence without completely contradicting myself.

And only one of them has won a World Series since then [hint: it wasn't beane]
Almost makes the TJ Matthews for McGwire deal with Sandy Alderson a wash. I mean, except for the revitalization of the franchise and all
See if you can follow me on this
Aaron Miles could have been kidnapped. But instead he held the guy down while police shot him. I’ll take that story on my team for Willy Taveras any day.

i hope there are more than 2 people
who have used the term in the course of history.
Thankfully, for idiots like you, our forefathers gave us the second commandment – the right say whatever you want no matter if you’re wrong. — Unknown, for the most part

I’m not sure why.

I don't believe
I’ve ever met anyone who uses that term who likes rap music. Unless they got it from their grandfather or something.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
well, you have a point there, judge
Then again, I just heard the term on a music video the other day, so I don’t know much about it beyond that.
Thankfully, for idiots like you, our forefathers gave us the second commandment – the right say whatever you want no matter if you’re wrong. — Unknown, for the most part
do you know where it comes from?
I’ve asked, but all anyone ever says is, “My granddad always used it” or something like that.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
where it comes from to me is ...
… there was an old TV commercial that featured Larry Storch, who was known for his role in the series “F Troop” and I can’t recall the product, maybe the phone company, and he was portraying Doubleday in it, discussing how he was about to invent baseball.
In the punch line, the woman says “the world will never take you seriously for this.”
He says, “That’s it, the World Serious!” (Stupid look on face.)
You had to ask.
Thankfully, for idiots like you, our forefathers gave us the second commandment – the right say whatever you want no matter if you’re wrong. — Unknown, for the most part
interesting
“F Troop”? That sounds like it was a long time ago.
Wikipedia also provides this, presumably even older:
During the Series, writer and humorist Ring Lardner had facetiously called the event the “World’s Serious”. The Series turned out to indeed have serious consequences for the sport. After rumors circulated for nearly a year, the players were suspended in September 1920.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
well, one would assume that many
have managed to use the term over the years. “F Troop” goes so far back, it was probably before we were allowed to be in color. The series was stupid but had a laugh or two, a lot of satire in it.
I have never heard anybody of substance try to profit from use of the term beyond the occasional reference I throw into one of these threads, which is vastly afar from my true ability to communicate the written word.

almost any trade involving us getting rid of Taveras
is a fantastic trade – especially if we don’t have to pay any of his salary!!!!!
What’s Miles salary?
Reds fan for 40 years!
Miles makes $2.7 mil this season
but the A’s look to be paying some of that on top of taking all of Taveras’ money too.
by Charlie Scrabbles on Feb 1, 2010 5:41 PM EST up reply actions
$2.7 million
The Cubs were tossing in $1 million of that, but it’s unclear if that stays with Oakland (it probably does). Either way, a significant savings over Taveras’s $4 million, plus Rosales’s minimum wage.
indirectly,
the Cubs paid $1million for the Reds to get rid of Taveras.

Maybe this has been mentioned elsewhere
but Cabrera is only getting $2 mil this year, not 3. His option next year is 4mil, and the buyout is $500K if Cabrera declines, $1mil if the club does.
So it’s only 3 mil guaranteed, not 4. Makes it a bit better.

I googled it
I wondered at first if the robbers were following the first rule of base brawls: pick on the middle infielders, they’re the littlest.
But no, it was just a fluke. Miles was out while the robbers attacked his roommates. They tied them all up in one room, and robbed them. They were about to leave, when Miles came back. He noticed the door was open, but assumed one of his roommates left it that way. He got into bed, leaving the door open for whoever had left it that way. The robbers decided to rob Miles, too, and rousted him out of bed to tie him up.
But in the meantime, one of his roommates had worked out of his bonds, locked the robbers out of the other room, and called the cops. The robbers panicked when they heard the sirens, and took Miles hostage – the only one they had access to. They just wanted to get away.
He said he later found out that criminals target that type of motel (the kind where all the doors open to the outside). He now peaks outside before leaving the room, to make sure no one is waiting there.

I know nothing about boxing or MMA
But what, sabermetrically, does “best pound-for-pound” mean? That if the best PFP weighed 140, and you magically scaled him up to 250, he’d be 8 feet tall, lightning quick, and able to beat the snot out of anyone on the planet?
If that’s the criterion, then scale up my 35 lb 3 1/2 year old. He’d be HUGE!
But seriously, is there a meaningful way to make comparisons between sizes of fighters?
"The USA despite its flaws and corruption and overall messiness is still a great and powerful instrument of freedom and hope for the entire world." - Madville
of course a lot of it is just
hypothesizing, but you can get a better idea because fighters will sometimes fight in multiple weight classes.
For instance, Anderson Silva has “cleaned out” his division at Middleweight, and has also beaten top competition at light heavyweight.
Fedor is technically a heavyweight, but he is on the small end of the weight division. He has had to fight guys that outweigh him by a 100 or more pounds.
Another criteria is just overall skill. GSP is able to dominate people in his weight class because he is a world class wrestler and is stronger than everyone else in that division. Anderson silva’s game is based on being the most accurate and least hit striker in MMA. Silva is also a black belt in jiu jitsu, which is a ground based discipline. He would be able to neutralize a larger opponent. It’s fairly easy to project that Anderson Silva would do better against people not in his weight class than GSP would.
Exactly
It’s taking an individual’s skillset and comparing it to another’s.
It’s why, for many years, in boxing Oscar De La Hoya was considered the best in the world despite his size. De La Hoya won 10 titles at six different weight classes and did so with a brilliantly quick attack and very mobile defense.
He was a surprisingly strong puncher for his size but was able to keep his speed even at heavier weight classes.
His skillset was better than any on the planet (like Silva’s is in MMA). The mixture of speed, strength, agility and boxing IQ are all added into the PFP argument.
I still think late-80s Tyson is the best PFP fighter ever fallowed closely by Ali. (See, this is the fun of the PFP argument — it’s not only a way of comparing current fighters but fighters across generations)
