Two Outs Man On Third Game Tied In 9th Who Do You Want Up?

Stats Shmats. How many game winning RBI walk off hits in close and late situations does he have? Is it more than Frank Robinson or Babe Ruth? If not, then Markakis is clearly a bum who doesn't deserve to play in the Major Leagues.

By the way I was being sarcastic...

What's silly about much of this "discussion" is that it is Markakis, with his high OBP, that will generally give Tejada more chances for game-winning hits than Markakis will get, who right now hits behind Jones and Izturis.

I like how O5F pulled a Trea and vanished from this thread.

OldFan, can you finally admit defeat? Or do you have another poll left in you?

Sal Fasano.

Is it a day game or a night game?

What sport are we playing?

Isn't it funny that OldFan was calling Wiggy AM's worse signing during this offseason and thought he sucked...Now, he is using him in this poll!

The idea of small sample size is obviously a concept that Oldman doesn't grasp.

[Dr. FLK]

I have a theory.

OldFan IS Nick Markakis. His goal is to drive us bananas with anti-Nick propaganda, so that we all unite against him and gain admiration for Nick. It's reverse psychology to form a band of Markakis fans.

Nick, you don't have to do this, we already love you!

Ooooh then JTrea is Adrian Gonzalez, making us crazy with all news about AGon! It's wacky reverse psychology! :rofl:

Yeah... I wonder why that is? I mean, OldManFan saw Wiggy play with his own eyes last year - that was all he should have needed to properly evaluate Wiggy and his performance for this year.

What went wrong?!?

There are plenty of telling stats that show Markakis falls apart under pressure. Just check out his batting average with runners on 1st and 3rd in the 13th inning while down by a run with two outs in a day game with a lefthander on the mound and three righties in the outfield while the DOW is rising with between 21,000 and 22,000 fans in the stands in a non-leap year with tuna sandwiches in the O's post-game buffet and it's a Tuesday. Chokes every time.

This is nuts. Seriously, what's the point here? We all get it, you don't like Nick Markakis for whatever reason. I've never seen an Oriole fan so vehemently trash one of the best players on the team. I can't imagine there is one person left on this board who is unsure what you think of Markakis, OldFan. The polls, statistics, and general common sense prove you wrong every time, but you continue to spew uninformed garbage all over the board. I can't believe after so long you still infuriate me so much, but I am so sick of your ignorant, incompetent analysis about something you clearly don't know much about.

Dude, I thought Wiggy sucked last year (he did) and I thought he was gonna suck this year (he uh ... doesn't). Happy to be wrong on that subject. Wigginton owns (unless he starts not owning again).
