You can tell its still early in the year because....

1. The overwhelming # of threads in the forum (please hurry AS break)

2. The number of people who want you to be impressed they are 43-22  (but only up 3.4 units-mix in a dog now and then)

3. The absurd reasoning of the early season newb (today's special has to do with Randy Wolf's utter dominance over the Pirates.) 

Feel free to add to the list of reasons how you can tell it's early because.....

But first-   listen up newbs - the fact that Randy Wolf is 7-1 against the Pirates means.............f**kin nada.  Ask yourself these 3 questions .  How many teams has Wolf pitched for in the last 6 years?  When is the last time he has faced the Pirates?  How many of the those Pirates will be in the lineup tomorrow???

Answers:  More than 4 teams, probably 3 years ago and maybe 1 (it is Pittsburgh for christs sake).  

This is the kind of crap you don't need to concern yourself with. Spend your capping time more wisely. 

I understand what you saying regarding lifetime records, im not a huge fan of that myself, considering the pirates trade everyone on their team by the AS break anyways.  I agree with you when you said that this should not be part of your capping for the game.  Still cant put cash on the Pirates. probably wont all year.

Good Luck to you

Excellent post fivepost.  You can add the numerous trends that Covers has as well for each game.

Pitcher v Batter stats are very relevant but pitcher versus team means nothing.  I think the reasoning that Joe Pitcher is 54-3 versus the Reds is absurd.

So do you have any picks or you just complaining about people that actually post picks regardless new or not?

I just joined but it seems to me that 200 posts are not a lot at all.  So I am unsure your purpose in creating this thread but it seems like you might be a "newb" as well...
