  1. Are you sure? This is an organization that started Jason Tyner at DH in a playoff game.
  2. This stuff has been studied, and implemented in many different organizations, and types of structures. "Random" is the best method. And "random" is just that--random. Besides which, the current program is collectively bargained. This is just stupid sour grapes by Gomez. The simplest explanation is usually the correct one--more Dominican players have tested positive, because they were using.
  3. I had a pair of these in my late 70's disco days.
  4. "Yeah, gimme the stage hand guy. We're going to need to beef up those string things."
  5. Geez, give her a break. She hasn't even posted it yet.
  6. A blind man enters a bar and find his way to a barstool. After ordering a drink, and sitting there for a while, the blind guy yells to the bartender, “Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?” The bar immediately becomes absolutely quiet. In a husky, deep voice,the woman next to him says, “Before you tell that joke, you should know something. The bartender is blonde, the bouncer is blonde and I’m a 6′ tall, 200 pound blonde with a black belt in karate. What’s more, the fella sitting next to me is blonde and he’s a weightlifter. The woman to your right is a blonde, and she’s a pro wrestler. Think about it seriously, mister. You still wanna tell that blonde joke?” The blind guy says, “Nah, not if I’m gonna have to explain it five times.”
  7. They say your love won't pay the rent? Before it's earned, your money's all been spent?
  8. Blake will be fine...but you don’t want to know the **** I’m in for from Carole if a volunteer is late.
  9. There’s at least one more possible explanation...
  10. I know this is the theory, but I doubt this is actually true. Of course the math says it'll be 50-50 going forward. You take all the teams that lost more close games than they won, add them to the teams that won more than they lost, average it out, and declare "See...it's all luck. 50-50." There are short term variances, of course, but the idea that better teams wouldn't win more close games than lesser teams doesn't make any sense to me. They're better. Over time, they'll do the things that win games--close games or blowouts--more than bad teams.
  11. I think it's very possible the pitcher was intentionally trying to get the previous two hitters to swing at pitches outside the zone, knowing he had Buxton due up. It's pretty rare for major league pitchers to truly be "unable to throw a strike." And he swung at a fat, nothing FB, right in the "hit me" zone. IMO the problem wasn't that he swung. The problem is, he got a pitch he was waiting for, and was unable to do anything with it.
