  1. Old white guys call everybody bastards and sons of bitches, even their friends.
  2. 128 OPS+ for a corner outfielder is borderline too. McGwire was a much better hitter throughout his career
  3. I think the fact that he contacted him and talked to him about it is good enough. Questioning whether that qualifies as an official apology makes one sound like a whiney little snowflake. Biden said something dumb and apolgized for it. Trump never did that in his life.
  4. Juicier than Sosa? 🙂
  5. 500 is becoming more commonplace. Does Sheffield belong? He is close, but he shouldn't be automatic.
  6. I think Sosa is borderline. He had a relatively short peak and a 128 career OPS+. I wouldn't put him in.
  7. I am actually reconsidering Rose in light of MLBs highly hypocritical parnership with gambling organizations. I know buddha will love that!
  8. Ortiz was also issued a restraining order for a domestic problem.
  9. Right, people can dislike Biden's presidential performance all they want, but to consider his behavior to be anything remotely like Trump is dishonest at the very least.
  10. It's not ridiculous, but aiming for the playoffs and aiming for the World Series is really the same thing.
  11. Given the original source of "shutup and dribble", it probably had racist intent.
  12. Racism still exists today. People are just a little more subtle about it.
  13. It's bad genes. Stupid runs in the family.
  14. Don't let Trump see this.
  15. I think the anti-vax stuff and all the deliberate misinformaton is stupid, but I am not really behind mandates. Vaccines are safe and they work to an extent, but we are still getting changing reports on how well the vaccines work as the virus evolves. It's hard to force to scared people to do stuff when the information keeps changing.
  16. Neither do politicians.
  17. Sounds like you're the one that's worked up. Candy companies are making business decisions. Capitalism is a good thing.
  18. The bigger question might be why is Putin so concerned about Ukraine? And wht happens after that? Answer those questions and the answer to your question might become clearer.
  19. Trump caves on everything. All that matters is that he presentyys himself as a tough guy who gets things done. It doesn't matter whether it's true. It only matters whether his cult belierves it is true. It's like when he could achieve peace in the middle east and then he worked an arms deal with some obscure middle east countries and called it an historic "peace" agreement.
  20. Does Carlson realize what he looks like complaining about the shoes that M&M characters wear? I never even noticed what kind of shoes they were wearing before. I guess I am just not into women's shoes like Carlson is.
  21. Yes, that is certainly a very important variable.
  22. It's always a big question when we do presentations or publish journal articles as to how many decimal places we should include in the tables. I didn't get the concern about credibility though. It's more a matter of presentation. What is the ideal number of decimal places to include for your audience? If we are presenting to other scientists, it's not a concern as they can round off anyway they please. If we are presenting to a more casual audience, then we usually use fewer decimal places, so they can read it more easily. I never really thought about how too many decimal places would make you less credible.
  23. It's not OK for middle class people to feel concern for others who don't have it as good?
  24. Much of my mother's family refused to go to her wedding because my father was not Catholic. He is Greek Orthodox which is practically the same thing. I think that's why they never pushed religion on me too hard.
