Andrew (back from playing tennis):
I agree with Ryan and Temes. The *only* way to determine quality of play is to use the games own standards.
Even in your soccer example, to me, the "lucky" winning team played better. They maximized their opportunity and, more importantly, the losing team failed to convert ANY of their opportunities, which is much more important than creating them. Ergo, they played worse.
In tennis, what other standard can there be by which to measure quality of play? Pace? Spin? Prettiness of shot? Those are subjective, while the winner is not. Which is what makes sports sports. To me, winning is the only possible determiner of which player or team played better in a given matchup. |

ok - I'm home and rarin' to go! Just let me at that post! Unfortunately, I am going off for a scenic weekend away - to my alma mater! As soon as I realized I wrote the incorrect dates in my calendar - i started wiggin' about the tourney, and then about posting my picks!
Andrew - I may be wandering about worcester ma, looking for an internet cafe to post. I have high hopes that if I bring my computer and a cable - I can access the college's internet. (we'll see.....)
Mind you - my men friends are worried about 'will there be enough beer'. My women friends are worried about 'gawd, what do i wear'. I am worried about 'how will I follow along? can i make picks? how many matches will miss? how early can i leave on sunday?'
one of these things is NOT like the other. Er, mmmm8 - and takers on a 12 step program for tennis/TW addicts?
*trots off to read the other posts* |

JB - WiFi is like mother's milk on campuses these days, although of course that would be even for the suddenly arrived hordes of lactose intolerant. . . |

...for some reason I cannot post comments on the "21 minus 1" club post. I thought I got to be the first to comment on it yesterday, that pole position is still up for grabs! |
