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 01:19 PM (#2699969)
I gather that is his nickname for himself.
   3. Champions Table Posted: February 26, 2008 at 01:24 PM (#2699974)
The last I heard, Berkman was trying to get everyone to call him "T-Bone."

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 02:18 PM (#2700012)
Ummmmmm, no.

You're trying too hard, Lance.
   11. snapper (history's 42nd greatest monster) Posted: February 26, 2008 at 02:38 PM (#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 02:41 PM (#2700040)
Good guess, but not correct.
   13. Pops Freshenmeyer Posted: February 26, 2008 at 02:50 PM (#2700051)
Oakland, Seattle, Minnesota, Toronto?
   14. Chris Dial Posted: February 26, 2008 at 03:11 PM (#2700065)
Pops, four is correct; but not those four. How bizarre.
   15. aleskel Posted: February 26, 2008 at 03:14 PM (#2700068)
Boston, Orioles, Cubs, Tampa?
   16. Chris Dial Posted: February 26, 2008 at 03:16 PM (#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 03:17 PM (#2700071)
whoops, didn't see this is AL-only
   18. Pops Freshenmeyer Posted: February 26, 2008 at 03:37 PM (#2700099)
Kansas City?
   19. 44magnum Posted: February 26, 2008 at 03:44 PM (#2700107)
I'm going with Cleveland
   20. RoyalsRetro (AG#1F) Posted: February 26, 2008 at 04:42 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 07:57 PM (#2700474)

This worked out very poorly for Covelli Crisp.
   22. DCW3 Posted: February 26, 2008 at 08:34 PM (#2700525)
A's, Twins, Rangers, Blue Jays.
   23. Danny Posted: February 26, 2008 at 08:36 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 08:40 PM (#2700533)
It's A's Twins, M's, and Rays.
   25. Der Komminsk-sar Posted: February 27, 2008 at 01:03 AM (#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 27, 2008 at 02:52 AM (#2700763)
You can just email Tom Tippett.
   27. Der Komminsk-sar Posted: February 27, 2008 at 03:06 AM (#2700769)
Is he still involved with them?
