FAQs

At least I think they should be.

Cycle alerts

Yellow alert - Player needs triple for cycle
Orange alert - Player needs double for cycle
Red alert - Player need single for cycle

If a player needs a home run for the cycle, the level of the alert varies depending upon the determination of the Cycle Detection Warning System, which is headquartered in Thief River Falls, Minnesota.

And I can sum Erstad up in just one word: courage, dedication, daring, pride, pluck, spirit, grit, mettle, and G-U-T-S, guts. Why, Darin Erstad's got more guts in his little finger than most of us have in our large intestine, including the colon!

Aren't you thinking of that other ex- Angel whose name starts with E?

Eckstein doesn't have a football mentality.

Because he was not a punter at Nebraska.

Your post reminded me of the vitriol heaped upon all the media fawning over Eckstein in the recent WS as commented upon at length over at the FJM site.
-That's all.

Yeah, I'm glad Bob put this up. I had gotten a little tired of piling on Eckstein. Erstad is an equally worthy target.

Except he is not small. Therefore, he cannot have the grit of Eckstein. On second thought, I'll just continue to pile on Eck.

Gritstad has a nice ring to it.

courage, dedication, daring, pride, pluck, spirit, grit, mettle, and G-U-T-S, guts

Hard-working. Alpha male. Jackhammer. Merciless. Insatiable.

These all apply to Darin Erstad, Scott Podsednik, and David Eckstein.

Is it any wonder that the Angels were so successful for so long? They had three out of four of these dudes.
