Not a rant, but Moneyball, or to be more specific advanced stats is ruining baseball. But not because they are dumb or that the eye test is better. But because they are too effective. Turns are smarter baseball isn’t nearly as fun.

I feel bad for you and I know where you are coming from. You acquire so much scar tissue that you can’t even enjoy the feeling of liking someone. So it raises the stakes which only gives you more anxiety.

Take her out for caramels.

What do numbers have to do with the fact that he physically wasn’t swinging?

Science isn’t real? What does that have to do with the fact that he wasn’t swinging? 

He was reacting to getting jammed up and in. You don’t watch baseball much do you?

Tay Bang thought he escaped harm by hiding in the nearby Triangle Shirtwaist Factory until we realized he was wrong. Tragically wrong.

four-star recruit Justin Watkins was arrested 

The Marlins buyer is considered a success, not a failure by the owners. They don’t want another deep pocketed owner like the Guggenhiem Group driving salaries up for the rest of them. They are quite happy having the Mets being run like a small market team as well.

Even though I’m not a fan, I’d be willing to give her credit for leveraging her connections and being able to monetize herself in a way that has made her even more fantastically rich. But why isn’t that enough for her, and countless other successful people? Instead their ego makes them insist they did it ALL on their…

I watched Interstellar after eating a particularly potent brownie, and I kid you not, I actually solved the time/space paradox that would allow for inter-galactic space travel.
