Around SBN: How Not To Criticize Tom Brady For The Patriots' Loss

Ichthyomancy dissected

Since dissecting ichthyomancy seems to be the hot new thing to do, I thought I'd give you all a look at how the leader of the pack gets things done.

PLAYER OVERVIEW
I have picked twelve players over the course of this season. Four have been pitchers, and the rest position players. My picks break down like this. Of my 52 points, 23 have come from player selections, so they make up about 44% of my points.

Amezega: 0/1 (0%) Only picked him once, recently, as he had been doing hot.
Borchard: 0/3 (0%) Picked him when he first came to the team, as I liked him. I've wised up since.
Cabrera: 4/20 (20%) Cabrera has proved to be Fool's Gold for me this season- maybe I need to cut back on picking him...
Jacobs: 0/2 (0%) Picked him because I thought he was due earlier this year. Guess not that early.
Johnson: 3/5 (60%) Johnson has proved to be a solid pick for me this year, despite going up against many Cy Young winners and Hall of Famers.
Moehler: 0/1 (0%) Don't know what's up with him. Or me for picking him.
Nolasco: 0/1 (0%) Picked earlier in the year, but think he could be a good pick for down the road.
Olivo: 0/1 (0%) Would have been a better pick lately, as he's heated up along with the Fish.
Ramirez: 4/11 (36%) Hasn't been a bad pick, but hasn't been nearly as strong lately, hence most of these points coming early on.
Uggla: 1/6 (17%) Don't know why I didn't pick him when he was hot; Most of these selection came earlier in the year. Definately a keeper once he returns at full health.
Willingham: 1/3 (33%) Picked early in the year.
Willis: 10/13 (77%) Talk about a stud. Willis has been as solid as solid can be so far this year. I've only forgone picking him twice this year, and that was a mistake.

ATTENDANCE OVERVIEW:
From attendance, I've earned 12 of my 52 points, of about 23% of them. I've hit on 12 of 68 picks, or about 18% of them. Dolphin Stadium has been kinder to me than away game sites. I've earned 7 points there, 58% of my attendance points. The average guess for those games is 12,370. On the road, I've only earned 42% of my points. The average guess for road games I've won is about 33,670.

AAB OVERVIEW:
AAB has been my weakest area, as I've scored only 11 of my 52 points of about 22% of them. Lately, many of the picks I've hit on have been pitching based. Four of my 11 points have come on pitching picks, of 36% of them. Six have come on hitting picks, or about 55%. The final point came on an outcome guess.

So, that's my breakdown. And I'm out of things to say.

You people...
Despite the "pace" post the other day, I'm a historian, not a statistician.  I am not about to do an ichthyomancy breakdown.  I have no idea what I've done.  

Have you all really been going back through every post, or keeping track all season?  Yipes.  I am out of my depth.

I agree...
...and I'm the one stupid enough to do something like this.

Didn't say I didn't enjoy 'em...
...just that I am not remotely equipped to do one.
