This guy is a die hard Browns fan from Hollywood I guess and lists his 10 reason for being a Brown's fan. Says some mean things about us too.

For whatever reason, this really didn't offend me. In fact, I think its a fair description. I suppose it helps that we have six Super Bowls and Cleveland has never even been in one.

Josh Cribbs is the most electrifying player in the AFC? I don't think he's the most electrifying player in his division. He may not even be the most electrifying player on his team. *Looks at Browns roster* Okay, he is the most electrifying player on his team.

When Anderson and Quinn were both injured last year, I added him to my fantasy team (in desperation). He was taking 15 snaps a game out of the wildcat.

Cribbs is one of those insanly athletic guys that can't find a position. He's a deep threat WR, and he is electrifying as a KR/PR. Just ask the Steelers.

Just heard Hideki Matsui hit .615 over the course of the series. That's absurd.

I heard that last night too and thought "no way", thought I watched enough of the the series not to have missed that because he did what ,seemed like nothing, most of the AB's I saw, except last night's game.

How about Utley?

To be fair, Matsui couldn't have had nearly as many ABs. I don't think he ever started any of the games in Philly. He may have had one at bat as a pinch hitter in games 3, 4, & 5.

Sorry, but its a little less impressive.

Why does total ABs make % less impressive? They said he had something like 18 ABs over the course of the series. That's an average of three a game.

Found the stat. It was 13 ABs, so roughly 2 plus ABs a game.

Nevermind... not gonna dig up anything. With more ABs, the law of averages kick in. Its easier to get hot through 3 games than it is through 6 games.
