The Swamp

Did Jim Johnson used to be good in Baltimore? He's sure blowing goats in Oakland. And, saves. Kinda. But not really. It was weird when the locals got all pissed when the Orioles let him go for a bag of beans, conveniently forgetting that he can't really get a K and relies on BABIP not killing him.

The new Captain America movie was really good, and surprisingly political (and relevant).

Dunno Dave, the Lakers will not be able to bring in those kinds of recruits.

Dave, Calipari used the more traditional "one and done" model at Memphis, where he would have only one such player a year (if that) and would have a more veteran traditional team around the talented "one and done" player. The most successful for him was the Derrick Rose finals te...

I am not looking for equal time trashing.

I was simply posting that piece because of the study that was at the center of it. I am sorry that the vehicle for that caused the thread to derail.

One more deletion.

I didn't give a shit about Ezra Klein, but I posted what I did originally because: 1. Vox is new and I am not hating it and was curious what others thought; and 2. Inside the Klein article was what was, I thought, a really interesting study that I thought others might be interested in knowing about....

Who's their center fielder that's going to keep him in right?

Dexter Fowler?

Tired of Calipari yet? I'm not tired of him, but I sure would like to see some better played basketball. These guys don't run any kind of offense and they are lazy on defense. Sure, some of that is coaching, but effort is hard to put into a guy who doesn't have it. Hey guys, just wanted to update y...

Done. Went all-in on my Q8 when the board flopped an 8/5/4 (needed a win to pick up some stack...was down to $150K in chips and was losing ground rapidly to the field).

Too bad someone had called with a 7/6.

Ah well. Made it to somewhere in the 90-93 range for the tourney.

If I can't find ANYTHING I like about the site, does it mean I really don't like data as much as I thought I did, or that it sucks? I don't get what happened, but there's nothing for me there at all. Agreed. Not sure how they are missing the mark, but they are missing it pretty badly. I had followe...

Was he whining about the offense and passive aggressively undermining Votto and Bruce? Because that's his favorite thing, poisoning the fanbase against good players.

tennbengal

The Reds are on pace to score 0 runs this year. That will make it hard to win.

Also, Billy Hamilton is on pace to strike out infinity times. Would probably be a record.

So...I have taped it, but haven't watched it, but read the reviews. As I understand it: 1. After building up to Barnie and Robin and the wedding for years and spending a whole season on it this year, they end that marriage in 1/2 an hour the episode after the wedding. 2. They really do kill off the ...

Nelson Cruz with the nice debut in Baltimore.

Reason for marriage:

1. Love
2. Pregnancy
3. Arranged
4. Immigration
5. Mail order

Glad baseball is back (on these shores)(at US time zone times)

Dayum.

The Michigan/Kentucky game takes its place among the handful of best ncaa tourney games I have had the occasion to watch.

Hell, this tournament is right up there. Really entertaining games throughout.

tennbengal

So, just catching up...all that satellite footage of objects, and none from the plane?

I guess G-d stealing the plane is back on the table...

tennbengal

Anyone else still in this? I am treading water at $191,000 and 135 players left. Need a good hand to be aggressive on at some point.

Community has been in a really nice groove with Dan Harmon back. Agreed. Although I felt like I missed out on a ton of inside stuff last week, having never played D&D. Did you see the first D & D episode from a few years ago? It was brilliant, and accessible for anyone D & D familiar or...

Malaysia has told families that the plane apparently went down in the southern Indian ocean.

I guess that exonerates God as a suspect in snatching it out of the sky?

Dave, Pastner is an awful coach.

Wait, vcu was up four and fouled a guy taking a three at the end of the game? I didn't think it was a foul. Looked like a flop as much as anything. The way the guy landed was contrary to how the supposed foul should have made him come down. The replay wasn't conclusive, but your point stands. stay ...

When VCU wears a team down, it is a sight to see.

Jim Boeheim with some world class trolling:

"Just watching Mercer play, I thought they were the better team. Duke didn't play that bad."

Mercer sure didn't play scared down the stretch. Love to see a team just go for it.

Go Jaspers (even though it would F my bracket.) An upset such as that doesn't fuck things up too much because most everyone not from the Bronx had louisville going a few rounds. And Masiello looks a lot like the dwarf in Game of Thrones. A not insignificant number of people in the brackets I am in ...

That's good stuff.

Level-headed analysis?

BBC, of course. The video embedded on that page along with what is known and recent developments puts all American media to shame:
