The Swamp

I'm sure I'm being Mr. Obvious here, but just make Porcello the closer. His stuff would play up something crazy in the pen.

Capgeek is an incredible site (and somehow baseball doesn't have an equivalent (Cot's is awful)).

Well, I'm pretty sure Iginla would be harder to trade if he weren't an expiring contract. That actually worked in Cal-Gary's favour.

Aaron Ward can now reevaluate the quality of his sources.

Elton John would read that article and say "you sort of look like me and your attempts at proving your self-awareness betray your true lack self-awareness".

Sounds like those four teams are winners who know how to win.

I'd love to split an impossibly high stack of johnnycakes with Scottie. The rest of you I'm fine only knowing online.

I haven't seen this verified, but there's a Yankee blogger who said the way the Yankees set up how they're assuming the $13MM actually makes him count for negative $2MM against the 2014 payroll (which is when the taxes go way up). Vernon Wells being worth negative millions feels right.

You know, with the right plaid and glasses, you might be able to convert those jorts right over to hipster wear. That would be quite the transformation.

Keep that in mind when the Yankees are off to a 13-7 start and Wells and Youk have combined for 10 HRs. Its destiny.

On the contrary, what's more conservative than double covering your ass and thighs?

Wasn't there a Fat Douglas Murray meme a few years back?

And anyway, judging on the basis of a small sample of games is similar to judging a baseball or hockey team that had a very fine regular season but lost in the playoffs. Any sabermetrics guy will note that this happens regularly. Its true, but there's the problem of never having a good sample size ...

If you move the decimal point over one place, Wells is a nice pickup as a weakside corner platoon.

mister d

My point is we should be grading on a curve. The Big East is 6-5 as a conference and has three Sweet 16 teams, but that should be seen as a disappointment for a conference given four top 4 bids, two more in the 5-8 range and two below. 10-4 with four teams still alive was the expectation out of that...

mister d

I've seen that a bunch of places, saying the BCS is proven better because the Mountain West and A-10 combined for 10 bids and 1 Sweet 16 team, but it sort of ignores that those two conferences only had two teams seeded 1-4. They underperformed by 1. Big East had 4 teams 1-4 and passed 3 into the Swe...

The best run team fires the best coach and gets even better!

Safe to assume I'm the only one here who had their best NCAA experience happen today?

(DSafe, thanks and I'd love to, but there's no room in the move budget for that sort of trip. And I'd jinx it if I did.)

mister d

Safe to assume I'm the only one here who had their best NCAA experience happen today? Halftime should be optional if you're winning.

Hi, if you need me, I'll be watching TV and throwing up.

But there's no such thing.

If you watched "classic" porn, wouldn't you just spend the entire time thinking about how everyone on screen is now in their 60s and 70s?

mister d

All the porn penises and vaginas you're looking at become 5x bigger.

The IBU thing is a good threshold (~50?) if you're someone who doesn't like hops, but its not a very good sliding scale.

On the radio last night, they said he had a "Come Home in 2014" sign or t-shirt or something. LeBron has an opt out.

New England does not play Tennessee : (

I have a Sharp that I like, probably same as BSF, then I ordered another and it came not working. They asked if some red light blinked, it did, and they said "yeah, its a defective one". So they had a recallable product for sale and turnaround on a new one would have been a few weeks and S...

They should sign a younger albeit more injury prone and less productive white replacement for a higher AAV.

Unless Garrard had a team at his house, I think the Jets are on the list too.

Here's where I'm lost on this whole beer snobbery thing. What the fuck is the difference between a "lager", and an "ale" anyway? Effectively nothing as a drinker of craft beer (you can have hoppy lagers and unhoppy ales), but the process of brewing is different. Lagers are cold ...

Winning tournament games is really fun, I sort of wish they'd started before year 17 of my fandom.

Already pre-barfing. If I were anyone but me, I'd mock my level of investment in a play-in game.

Fried to top pasta that has an oil-garlic based sauce. But be careful, the line between perfectly crispy and burnt is fine.

I hate this new swamp.

It's also arguable that any stable long-term increase in applications or donations does not actually amount to a social good. It may help, say Notre Dame or North Carolina. But does shifting some quality high school applications in that direction and away from, say, St. Johns or South Carolina a po...

mister d

Ha. That implies something funny.

mister d

Does that accounting include intangibles? Because I'm pretty sure there's been a proven correlation between football/basketball success and donations + applications.
