Way To Ruin The Game Boomer

Of course Boomer can dunk, you're not gonna see the Bowdoin polar bear shattering that backboard.  I'm just sayin.

Mile High Arthritis

I was looking at yesterday’s MLB transactions and noticed that Jamie Moyer had been signed to a minor league contract by the Rockies.  Seeing his name there got me thinking about his career compared to other pitchers, specifically his chances of making the Hall of Fame.  Dude’s been pitching forever and has a few pretty impressive stats, realistically looking at any one of his seasons he is by no means a Hall of Famer but at what point does the compilation of stats mean more than real dominance? 

In general I’m at odds with how pretty much everything in baseball’s awarding system works.  Too many inconsistencies to really know what to expect, MVP and Hall of Fame voting are the worst.  The part about both of them that really gets to me are the inconsistencies, Verlander winning the MVP was understandable if we didn’t already have an award for the best pitcher.  So many pitchers have had comparable seasons to Verlander and been denied the MVP.  If I could have my way there’d be a Cy Young award, a best hitter award (Babe Ruth award?) and an optional superlative award.  The superlative award would be for outstanding an performer and would require a certain percentage of votes to be awarded. 

The Hall of Fame voting mostly sucks because of how long it took for Jim Rice to get in, really embarrassing for them.

Half of me thinks that if Jamie Moyer gets into the hall of fame it would be kind of a life-time achievement award.  Some of his stats (wins, Ks) are Hall of Fame for sure, but his ERA is crazy high.  Nobody in the HOF is there anyone with a 4+ ERA (closest is Red Ruffing, 3.80) but it makes me wonder what the actually importance of stats are in the voting process.  Legitimately rewarding players for not being associated with steroids during the steroid era is stupid, dudes should be held even tighter to their stats being as they are really the performance they naturally gave. 

Calling it now…Moyer will make it into the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility……2030

Dry blog but stuff like this is always on my mind and I don't care what you think

P.S. I'm with the Jew on this one, lets use some common sense

Geese Blackout in Protest of SOPA... Oh Wait

So yesterday, many high profile websites such as wikipedia and reddit blacked out  their websites in protest of the SOPA bill that is being reviewed by Congress. Now while I admittedly don't know much about SOPA, what I do know is that a high profile website such as Geese Chatter should have stood tall with our internet brothers and deprived our readers of fresh material for 24 hours. I understand that many people would be devastated across the world not to read the fresh insight we provide for a day, but I think (more like thought) we owed it to the other high profile websites to show solidarity against internet censorship. So it is safe to say that I was disappointed when I saw that AMarko posted just after noon today. And then PJ (the sheep of the flock) followed his lead and posted just 6 hours later. Our blackout lasted just about half the time it should have and ended again halfway to its conclusion. (Insert premature ejaculation joke here.) I am disappointed in the lack of discipline shown by the Geese today, and despite the anticipation and need of millions to hear the Chatter on the daily, we will stand with our brothers during future internet protests- it is our duty as a high profile, high-traffic website.

Welcoming My Boy James

Just wanted to give a quick welcome to my buddy James a.k.a. Jimmy/Jimmer/J-Money from Ohio University.  He's basically the biggest bro ever and we have a nice little bromance going with 80 pictures together on Facebook, so haters be jealous.  James has already contributed nicely with two posts, and I expect that he will add a little bit of a different perspective, being that he's not living with the flock.  Welcome to the V-Formation.  #FlockNation.

Ayo Marko! Don't talk about spelling and grammar errors if you're going to have one in the title of your post... Just sayin'.

He Who Calls Himself "James".

I just read your blog and a piece of me almost clicked the delete button.  I almost threw up in my mouth.  First of all, it was absolutely disgusting and poorly written.  Did you even put any thought into it?  Next I don't even recall seeing one word capitalized.  Finally, you bring such a bad name to us.  Here at Geese Chatter, we actually have some self respect and honor, so clean up your writing.  And if you were wondering,  I do have the authority to delete anything I don't like.  Here are some guidelines to some future posts.

1.  Always capitalize the first word in a sentence.  I am not sure if you are in college or in preschool, because your grammer sucks.  Is it that hard to push the shift button to capitalize one letter? Or if you're that lazy, go into a Word Doc. and type it all out, then push 'Spell Check'.

2.  Make sure you spell out every single word.  What I mean by this is.  Do not use 'u' instead of 'you'.  We do not want any Text Message spelling.

3.  Overall, I do not care what you blog about.  I do not care who you blog about.  Just keep it neat, keep it organized, and above all, keep it classy.  Other then that, welcome to the Flock.

The New Face Of The Red Sox

Great pick up by the sox yesterday, Padilla will no doubt be an invaluable part of the sox world series season this year....who wouldnt want a guy like Padilla?  Mid 40's in age, mid 4 ERA and the do anything to win attitude of a pitcher that gave up on the 02' All Star Game.  Gotta like the direction the sox are going in, but to be honest their other pick up yesterday, franklin morales is a good move god knows we need relief pitching.

Hope im not gonna be the only one posting, I expect great things from everyone associated with geese in any shape or form

P.S.  resigning salty was a must but I've gotta say Lavarnway is the future. Varitek has one more year then he should do us all a favor and retire, saying that hes my favorite player of all time.

Geese Chatter Ohio

What's up geese?  

Geese Chatter Ohio up and running as of this morning.  Looking forward to bringing this barstool knockoff to the next level of barstool knockoffs.  But ummm yeah im not a midwest guy and I wont have midwest opinions because other than a few area the midwest takes a big dick, red sox coverage all day.

Oh and good luck next year in the MAC didnt know you guys actually had a real football team.  

Love, James

Football Jesus vs the Boy Wonder Pt 2

So unless you live on another planet, you know about Tebow Mania that is once again sweeping the nation. But once again, the Tebows will run into the Bradys- and just like last time Tebow Mania took over, he will be brought back to reality by the greatest quarterback ever. Now I know the Bradys haven't been so successful in the playoffs lately, but this year the man is on a mission. I mean, check out this video from a game this year. And this is not some isolated incident- hes been doing this even in blowouts and no one is safe from his wrath.

So even as Tebow grips the nation after his greatest game as a pro, he will once again become mortal after he takes on the Hood and the Boy Wonder. In week 15, the Bradys won 41-23 on the road (fyi- i predicted they would win 34-17). There is no way the Broncos D keeps this game at a low enough score for Tebow, especially on the road this time. i think he'll fair better than the last game, but he will still fall short.

The Bradys 38, The Tebows 28

P.S. Tebow called Brady a Prophet. That's enough for me.
