Jaworkski is a howdy-duty, rootin' tootin' blowhard! He is full of hot air and bores me to death.

In addition to ignoring the first half of the baseball season, they wholly ignore hockey. Their lack of financial stake in the NHL (no broadcasting of games) is another conflict of interest that makes ESPN more spectacle than sport.

Reminds me of when I used to live out West. When I'd drive to Big City, I'd always have to pass through Little Town. The speed limit went from 60 to 25 and the cops would just sit and prey on passersby. There was no need to drive 25 through this town. I think 35 would have been safe.

You realize the miami cannibal wasn't actually high on bath salts, right? Also, while I wouldn't recommend using bath salts, meth, crack, PCP, etc., it's difficult and rare to die from an overdose.

What's your point? Your comment sounds like a lame and lazy way to dismiss a human being as inferior. Tool.

I don't think MLB runs the WBC.

A related question - How much did the new owners pay for the house? Anyone know? I'm too lazy to look it up.

Nope. Correlation is calculated by standardizing both variables (subtracting the mean from each value and dividing by the standard deviation). Also, correlation can only range between -1.00 and +1.00.

If you squared the correlation you would get the proportion of variation in one variable that is explained by the other variable. Multiple that by 100 and then you can talk about percents. So, (0.97*0.97)*100 = 94% of the variation in votes for Bonds can be explained by variation in votes for Clemens.

Good article, but at the risk of sounding like a math dweeb asshole, you should talk about correlation as percentages, e.g., "a correlation of 97 percent." It's just a correlation of 0.97. Correlation has no unit of measurement.

Steroids may have been widespread enough to ALMOST re-level the playing, but your solution would leave out those few players who didn't use them, AND didn't hit 50+ home runs per year. In other words, a non-using player during the steroid era who posted above average stats (but not great stats, given the era) would…

If I were ostracized for opposing interracial marriage, would my ostracization be due to "political correctness" or my own idiocy? If, as a white person, I "disagree with" or feel like the act of whites marrying blacks is "wrong", I suppose it's true that I don't necessarily have to hate black people. But deep down,…

hilarious!

My thoughts exactly.

Thanks for taking the time to share your perspective and experiences.

Well, a lot of males 22-34 who make $400k+ per year are likely investment bankers, stock brokers, etc. So I'm guessing a decent % of them commit crimes like insider trading, fraud, and price fixing. They just don't get caught as often, since crime in the "suites" isn't as detectable and sexy as crime on the…

Yeah, my thoughts exactly.

Rondo's dirty for sticking up for his teammate?
