this is just off the cuff, and maybe the analogy doesn't work, but if you have pretty much any statistic (or financial asset as I'm thinking about), you can analyze its performance by standard deviation. Somebody who is streaky will have their overall average, but their periodic deviations are going to be greater than somebody who is not quite as streaky. In general, something -- a statistic, or an asset for example -- with greater standard deviation is not as valuable as the same something with lower standard deviation. So in that sense, too, streakiness is bad. PS: I think that Gehringer_2 maybe said this, too. Or, this_2

Who are the two guys on the right in that pic? Also, I read once that doves are also assholes in the bird world, notwithstanding their symbolic association with peace

wow

Eduardo Rodriguez v. Kevin Gausman

I always hated the Jays, based on the games in the 1980s. Still do, mostly.

Perhaps they'll feel complacent. Or the rings will weigh down their hands and make their swings slower. Call me an armchair body language expert, but I thought everything about Wingenter said "nervous" last night. He didn't seem that way on Monday. Maybe being out there for the ninth felt different to him? I guess we probably won't see him today anyway as he's pitched two consecutive days.

Witherspoon went to Tulane. Maybe he's the valet for Jake Rogers' moustache?

OMG the pod made me cry today

i thought ibanez was a contender for a roster spot. cesar hernandez is probably feeling pretty good

I sometimes grab a pack at Meijer, usually can find single packs in the toy section or near the checkouts

weird. weird.

not to defend Shepherd, but do you blame him if he is in fact surprised

My thoughts exactly. If nobody has given him an opportunity in the bigs yet, I bet there's a really good reason for that

I would like to be done with the Jonathan Davis Experience

Hunger striker who died in prison in Northern Ireland in 1981

Matt Vierling is made of steal. I mean, that's what I heard the Tigers want him to be made of.

I read once that using your off hand like stimulates brain activity, so i started using my left hand for all kinds of things leading into a licensing exam that i could not fail. i don't know if it worked, but i still brush my teeth, use keys, and sometimes eat, left-handed. it's kind of fun. i digress

I wonder if Johnny's wife thinks that Savannah is more cosmopolitan than Detroit

Plus Kate Beckinsale and Emily R. Whew!

Let me know when the wheeled warriors show up

baseball content > no baseball content

i was so excited for Eric Davis. that guy could do it all when he was with the reds. I remember him playing okay for the Tigers, then dropping out because of a cancer diagnosis, and coming back a couple years later and having some good seasons with the orioles

Cecil Cooper had some big years in the early 1980s. Maybe him?

Skeeter Barnes. I even got a picture with him when he was manager of the Lakeland Tigers

are you ready?
