You know, I was thinking about something today: I hate the radio industry. Honestly, they're one of the industries which I generally can't stand. There are many reasons for this, chief among them the centralization of the radio industry in a few hands, the increasing homogonization [yes, I know I spelled that wrong] of what they play, and the ever- ( Read more... )

Well, this Nomar trade is obviously a horrendous deal. However, I won't bother writing too much about it, since two writers at Baseball Prospectus explain exactly why this trade sucks in far better words than I could use. Let's take a look at the writing. First, we have Joe Sheehan ( Read more... )

Well, I'm back once again. Sorry I've been lazy about updating this (it's gotten to Maureen levels of neglect), but I promise I'll be taking good care of it for the rest of the summer at least. Anyways, I'm back, so here we go ( Read more... )

Well, I've been back from California for a week or so. Yosemite was great, and I had a good time seeing a lot of family out there. Since I got back, I've worked almost every day, so I've been busy. However, I now appear to have some free time...yet I have no computer to use. Pity. Here's the deal with my laptop ( Read more... )
