  1. It's probably not your imagination, but it is the White Sox.
  2. University of Nebraska, to maximize my Nowledge.
  3. You will embrace either. If you know what's good for you.
  4. Then you haven't been married long enough. Eventually you will embrace it.
  5. I was thinking more about propensities to hit it in the air versus on the ground - but am too lazy to go do anything rash like actually looking something up.
  6. With one out and a power hitter or two coming up, there's some justification to be cautious that time.
  7. You get to be Carnac tonight, it appears.
  8. Your company probably isn't in a syndicate with 29 other companies in what I've seen called "co-opetition".
  9. So you advocate using extreme viewpoints to make your case in any and all circumstances? You know who else held that position, in Germany in the 1930s?
  10. I think Robbie is therefore proposing something new, based on a supposition that there are differences among pitchers in how they give up HRs. Jack Morris was supposed to be good at pitching-to-the-score, for instance. Except, as I recall it, when someone actually dug into his results game by game, they couldn't actually detect any such pattern. I'd need to see some evidence that some pitchers are more prone to situational HRs than others, before investing much time in constructing a new stat. My guess is that pretty much every pitcher gives up more HR with the bases empty, because they all pitch differently when men are on base - and if some pitcher happens to have results that vary from this pattern in a given season, it probably is just Small Sample Size (only a dozen or two HR in a season, after all) and the pattern doesn't carry over to the next season.
  11. I'm gonna leave my avatar up tonight. When Riverbrian checks in later, he won't be able to sleep.
  12. Perk isn't conceding the SO title on the team without a good fight.
  13. Carnac: "Much Ado About Nothing" Ed: The recent movie directed by Joss Whedon? Carnac: Siskel and Ebert are both gone, don't try to replace them. Ed: Much Ado About Nothing. Please, the envelope? Carnac: Describe the Twins' half of the seventh inning.
  14. Carnac: E8. Ed: E8? Carnac: E8. Ed: E8. Carnac: Is there an echo in this studio? Ed: Please, oh seer of seers, open the envelope and reveal the question. Carnac: What did Clete Thomas do at dinnertime?
  15. Doumit was too busy artfully framing them, and got handcuffed.
  16. HEY-yo! Carnac: The Kool-Aid Man and Mike Pelfrey. Ed: The Kool-Aid Man and Mike Pelfrey. Carnac: I just said that. Ed: Open the envelope, oh Wise One. Carnac: Name a pitcher, and a Minnesota Twin.
  17. The great seer, soothsayer, sage and former financial adviser to the Greek government, Carnac the Magnificent, has done it again, ladies and gentlemen.
  18. You and snepp keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
  19. Accept no substitutes: I would gladly go through the heavy training necessary to become the Batman, just for the opportunity to hand over my utility belt to her and renounce my life of crime-fighting.
  20. My twelve-year-old self will always be true to Julie, the One True Catwoman.
