Pronky_Kong: yeah when you guys were here back in September the Twins fans would chant "M-V-P, M-V-P" whenever you'd come up to bat |
|
Pronky_Kong: I was gonna come over to your chatroom and tell you about it but I was busy posing for pictures with the guy in the enormous foam Ronald Reagan head |
my_morneau_jacket: that's cool man, being MVP is pretty sweet I bought a Build-a-Bear "Slider" at that game, it cost me like 65 dollars |
|
|
Pronky_Kong: no kidding, Josh Booty wanted to buy one so the Marlins had to all go out and look for change in their cars |
 |
JeterJeterPumpkinEater: I could buy a thousand Slider Build-a-Bears! You should've never been MVP! |
my_morneau_jacket: oh great this again |
|
|
Pronky_Kong: Yeah Jeet, what's your excuse this time? Was your uniform cleaner? Highest sycophants-to-internet ratio? Hotter girlfriend? |
my_morneau_jacket: hey now my girlfriend is kinda pretty |
|
|
JeterJeterPumpkinEater: I dated Jordana Brewster! You should've never been MVP! |
my_morneau_jacket: Get over it, man. I hit 20 more home runs than you, I had over 30 more ribbies than you, and I made it JUST as far in the playoffs as you without a 26 million dollar blowup doll at third and the New York Yankees everywhere else. |
|
|
JeterJeterPumpkinEater: Sap on, Opie, I had the higher VORP! You should've never been MVP! |
|
Pronky_Kong: haha what is that the midget who teaches you how to golf? |
|
JeterJeterPumpkinEater: No, VORP tells me how valuable I am by comparing my run production to the run production of an imaginary player assumed to be 80% as good as the average major league hitter at my position! |
|
JeterJeterPumpkinEater: Rob Neyer lays out the cold hard facts: if the Society for American Baseball Research could measure whim and assumption, I would be more better than my phantom replacement than you'd be than yours! |
my_morneau_jacket: It's bullshit! |
|
|
JeterJeterPumpkinEater: It's sabermetrics! You never should've been MVP! And now, using sabermetrics, I will come and claim it for my own! |
|
JeterJeterPumpkinEater: /takes his VORPal sword in hand |
**Online Lewis Carroll** |
|
|
JeterJeterPumpkinEater: /goes galumphing back |
|
Pronky_Kong: holy crap dude Derek Jeter just cut off your head with a saber |
my_morneau_jacket: It's okay man he just cut my head off on the internet |
|
|
Pronky_Kong: but now you can't sign off or else your head will fall off in real life! |
| my_morneau_jacket: argh, I fucking hate you, Derek Jeter! | |
| JohanSolo: Don't fret, friend, I can get you offline safely using WARP, the pitching variation on the very same mad statistics Jeter used to prove his case. | |
| my_morneau_jacket: How do you calculate WARP? | |
| JohanSolo: /jumps into pipe |
