Apparently, every athlete since 1994 has enjoyed the terrorist fist jab.

TFJ, baby dolls. TFJ.

The 200 Greatest Baseball Players Ever, #187-186: BRIAN GILES AND GOOSE GOSSAGE

#187 BRIAN GILES LF/RF Pirates/Padres

1995 -

OPS+ 138

BFW 29.2

WARP3 92.4

Giles is the first active player on the list (I mean, except for Andruw, but his career has check the pulse written all over it) I've given active players a bump, trying not to be blind as to their ability to still add to their totals. Giles is nearing the end of his productive career; it's possible that he's not going to hold his position in the Top 200 4-5 years from now.

#186 GOOSE GOSSAGE RHRP WSox/Yanks/Padres

1972-94

ERA+ 126

PW 29.7

WARP3 90.5

You won't see many closers on the list; there's no BSutter and he's not close - closer to making it awere LSmith and JFranco and THoffman. Closer still is Billy Wagner, who will wind up in the top 200 before he's done. Thurman Munson didn't make the list, but he's underappreciated and I wanted his pic in the blog.

Revelation 10 - I Play Yahtzee

The math's off 3 points in Game 2; so, my apologies, that's a two game total of only 776. I hit five Yahtzees in two games. Five, bitches! Five!

You can have your graduate degrees and the play and the game show. This may be my proudest achievement. In a world that operated in a way that made sense, I'd be treated like Bob Beamon for this. It's like I went Johnny Vander Meer all over the glass coffee table in my living room. Tell Billy Mitchell I'm comin' to get him. I'm comin' Mitchell! I gots 5 die, a plastic cup, and I'm comin' to bust your ass.
