Well, here I go.

I hate to say it, but I am advocating for more stats to be kept. The statistics that are being spoken of nowdays are, well, in my opinion kinda silly. Those who have been Twinkie Towners for a while already know that this is one of my beefs. But, to the surprise of many, and the pain of myself, here I am...humbly asking for forgiveness. I ask the TT blog-o-sphere to accept my "funky stat" ripping apology, as I request...give me a moment, this is hard for me...more stats to be kept, and reported. I would like to suggest, for the first time publicly...the keeping of WU-Stats.

Last night we found out about players OPS, their OBP and in some cases their VORP and RZR. But ladies and gentlemen of TT, what of their ODB? What about their RZA, their GZA and their GFK(ghostface killah)'? What of an outfielders MTHDMAN and how many infielders RAEKWON's can we see before calling for their jersey to be stripped off their backs? And of course, I plead with you, if we have to see another J.Mo ID (Inspectah Deck) on a fastball down the middle of the plate, I just may scream.

Some examples from last night:

-Alexi Casilla raised his GFK nearly 30 points with his 3 run homer

-Howie Clark earned an ODB for the game winner in the eyes of the rangers fans

-The aforementioned ID by Morneau in extra innings, as he inspected the ball into the catcher's mitt

-Mauer currently sits at a 2.35 RZA and a 6.78 GZA for clutch hitting and freestyle beat-boxing

-Michael Cuddyer has a 2.34 MTHDMAN in Right Field, but a pathetic 0.34 in Center

And while this didn't happen last night, I just have to mention that Ron Gardenhire likes the heck out of that Nick Punto. Some think it is because Gardy sees himself in Punto, others think it is because of Gardy's insanity. Not So! Turns out, it is because of Nicky Punto's incredibly low RAEKWON.

So again, TT community, please forgive my previous stat hating. I am now a believer after watching last night's game, and because of the amazing analysis we as a community can do thanks to the Wu-Tang Clan.
