I read a news blurb referring to Lance Berkman as "The Big Puma."

How long has this been his nickname?

Why wasn't I notified?

2. Slinger Francisco Barrios (Dr. Memory) Posted: February 26, 2008 at 09:19 AM (#2699969)

I gather that is his nickname for himself.

3. BaseballDIY Posted: February 26, 2008 at 09:24 AM (#2699974)

The last I heard, Berkman was trying to get everyone to call him "T-Bone."

7. Chris Dial Posted: February 26, 2008 at 09:26 AM (#2699984)

Guess how many AL teams had B-R PFs below 100 (to whole numbers)?

#7:

All of them? :)

9. Chris Dial Posted: February 26, 2008 at 10:18 AM (#2700012)

Ummmmmm, no.

You're trying too hard, Lance.

11. snapper Posted: February 26, 2008 at 10:38 AM (#2700033)

I'd guess:

Oakland, Seattle, Anaheim, Detroit, NY, Balt., Boston, and I'll probably miss one.

So, I'll say 8.

12. Chris Dial Posted: February 26, 2008 at 10:41 AM (#2700040)

Good guess, but not correct.

13. Pops Freshenmeyer Posted: February 26, 2008 at 10:50 AM (#2700051)

Oakland, Seattle, Minnesota, Toronto?

14. Chris Dial Posted: February 26, 2008 at 11:11 AM (#2700065)

Pops, four is correct; but not those four. How bizarre.

15. aleskel Posted: February 26, 2008 at 11:14 AM (#2700068)

Boston, Orioles, Cubs, Tampa?

16. Chris Dial Posted: February 26, 2008 at 11:16 AM (#2700070)

Well, the Cubs are in the NL, and Boston always has a high PF.

In fairness to Pops, he had three correct.

17. aleskel Posted: February 26, 2008 at 11:17 AM (#2700071)

whoops, didn't see this is AL-only

18. Pops Freshenmeyer Posted: February 26, 2008 at 11:37 AM (#2700099)

Kansas City?

19. 44magnum Posted: February 26, 2008 at 11:44 AM (#2700107)

I'm going with Cleveland

20. Harold Reynolds: An Erotic Life (AG#1F) Posted: February 26, 2008 at 12:42 PM (#2700171)

I'd like to recontinue "Royal Ingenuity" (what happened to Garth anyhow?) How do I go about doing that?

21. The District Attorney Posted: February 26, 2008 at 03:57 PM (#2700474)

The last I heard, Berkman was trying to get everyone to call him "T-Bone."

This worked out very poorly for Covelli Crisp.

22. DCW3 * Posted: February 26, 2008 at 04:34 PM (#2700525)

A's, Twins, Rangers, Blue Jays.

23. Danny Posted: February 26, 2008 at 04:36 PM (#2700528)

I was just noticing that Texas' multi-year park factor is down to 100. What gives?

24. Chris Dial Posted: February 26, 2008 at 04:40 PM (#2700533)

It's A's Twins, M's, and Rays.

25. Der Komminsk-sar Posted: February 26, 2008 at 09:03 PM (#2700735)

So... anybody know whether or not Diamond Mind is going to make a 2008 projection disk? Or ever do a halfway decent job of managing their website?

26. Chris Dial Posted: February 26, 2008 at 10:52 PM (#2700763)

You can just email Tom Tippett.

27. Der Komminsk-sar Posted: February 26, 2008 at 11:06 PM (#2700769)

Is he still involved with them?
